Imagine if you didnt know and showed up in a bright orange dress

[kaykay]

*Because it's also a funeral for everyone who lost.*

[Angelica-bfdx]

Watch a woman wear nonblack, then everyone attack her, when she genuinely didn't know it was a thing and would've if she knew

[TheNaomiChristina]

Would’ve been better if everyone just didn’t

[mayalee]

I deadass thought the title said “Why is everyone *black* at the Golden Globe Awards?”

[DrewTube.]

Be me
> didn't get the memo about wearing black
> shows up in yellow
> is now hated by most of America

[cheeses_fries]

Most people wear black to formal event anyway. Why not deny the invitation to the event to make a bigger impact with their absence?

[elanor]

In my opinion they shouldn't do this. Im all for this but there is probably gonna be a few who won't wear black and then they'll get attacked and that publicity is not what a good person wants. They should've made like a pin or something just something like where it's easy to tell but it's also easy to see why people aren't wearing it

[gracenormington]

What if they all wore sweatpants instead?

[mariferreira]

What would really send a message would be if they refused to go. But they won't miss an opportunity to be seen and maybe even get an award. Hypocrites

[Livereater]

um, don't most guys wear a black suit or tuxedo to major events, anyways? ...don't a lot of women wear a black dress to major events, anyways?

[Jess]

If these women wanted to make an impact, then they shouldn’t have bothered showing up. Shunning an awards show celebrating an industry full of sexual exploitation and scandal, would have been a much better way of showing support.

[skyeshields]

Or you know they could really protest and not go to the golden globes.... but cool wear black I guess

[ajgerbi]

Celebrity women are so dramatic "Who are you wearing?" Isn't an offensive question. It's more of a compliment actually, it means they look good in the dress and who is it.

Plus, wearing black to the golden globes isn't going to raise awareness. It's just going to be a one day thing "the women wore black to golden globes, cool." No they shouldn't go! They need to actually protest! Not just wear a different color..

[michelegartzke]

So if one person doesn't wear black....exiled. Come on. Wearing a black dress is doing what exactly? I don't see the correlation here. It will be talked about for all of 5 seconds then everyone will move on.

[ameenan]

They should’ve just not went because people wear black anyways. They’re STILL supporting it by going.

[garrettleach]

Yeah you show them wearing black is gonna do sooo much obviously

[AwesomeVidzChannel]

Your laptop is so dirty I just cant...

[Cartmanfan]

One brave woman actually speaks out about these sexual assaults while everyone knew what was happening and remained quiet, now we watch as everyone jumps on the bandwagon to protest these sexual assaults, it disgusts me

[izaaklane]

The problem is this isn't a sex thing. This is a power trip for multimillionaire movie stars who think they have a free pass.
