They're used as props, when they are human beings and that's pretty disgusting. I like her, but don't tell me to give her a pass when she acts like a jackass.

I'm not saying you should give her a pass or something. It's just something I've been thinking lately regarding all (fair and unfair IMO) criticism towards her. There's a "human as props" factor on her performance (the simply fact that she is using only little people on the performance to give it a "freaky" aspect to it). On the other side, it's not like those people are acting ridiculous on stage or something... They are performing, dancing, playing instruments, using their talents... So, how much of our (as in general, not "you and me" exclusively) negative views of it doesn't come from our own biases as a society (a society she is part of)?
And them again, why are people threating her like the anti-christ when there are more pop musicians doing problematic stuff? I'm not saying "we should give her a pass, everybody is doing that", I'm saying "shouldn't be more people being called out?"
