It's very MTV to try to seem more woke and connected with the youth by changing the name of literally every other award they give out at their dumb show besides the one named after a child-molester.

And adding the "Best K-Pop" one rme

I remember one year they decided to get rid of Best Male/Best Female categories because they planned it as a promo for non-binary realty show, but that show never materialized and we ended up with a category identical to VOTY in its design. And the Moon Person™️ thing
And, just like for the last few years, show is coming soon, but only one performer has been announced

IDK if OP was trying to be funny...but this just totally diminishes Missy's accomplishment.
We all know MJ was a child molester not sure why you had to bring it up in this context.

[marthasback]

because MTV was floating removing his name to the point where it made it into the press, and with the announcement came the confirmation that they don't give a fuck about molestation victims...

Take it up with Missy for accepting this award post-Leaving Neverland (she mentions Michael in her excitement tweet)

[cylinderofsin]

she mentioned the name of the award...still not sure what his child abuse allegations has to do with her accomplishments and winning the award. Make a separate post about MTV not changing the name.

[marthasback]

the "exclusive" announcement on Variety talked about both Missy and the molester, so take it up with them

[likeiused2]

I said she should get it in a reddit sub and people said "she hasn't done anything of worth in decades!"
so fuck rude-it

[spiral_mystik]

She should have won this years ago.
And them uncultured white teens who cry about Gaga, Katy and Taylor being snubbed need to shut up.

[marthasback]

yeah she should have won a decade ago, which is why it's kinda awkward because she hasn't really done much over the past few years and now it looks like MTV is just pandering to the internet

Taylor’s videos look like children’s art compared to Missy.

Katy's videos are ridic.
