The song glorifies and sexualises rape, encourages rape culture and is extremely triggering to sexual abuse victims. It's quickly got into the charts and therefore I suspect will be played at Sub Zero events and for the mental and physical safety of the students, we think it should be banned.

The feedback from students has been powerful and confirms we need this change. I am currently working on a formal proposal for the SU board.

Good luck with this. About time we stop playing trash that makes people feel unsafe.

Finally someone said it. That song is so gross and i cringe every time it comes on the radio. It has no place at our parties.
