I still want Hayley to include more women of color in her videos, given that yet again her love interest in this song is going to be a skinny cis white woman. And these criticisms come from a place of love and frustration as a visibly brown girl, so I don’t want anyone derailing that point or saying “just be satisfied with what you have”. I love Hayley and I love her music which is why I want her to do better and why I want her music to reach all wlw, including those of us who are visibly brown or black or not white-passing at all, why I believe her music and aesthetics should be inclusive of all women, not just the skinny cis white ones. There is a time and place to have that discussion, and frankly, if you spew backlash against it or derail it, you have no right complaining about how straight music is exclusive if you yourself are okay with wlw-oriented music being exclusive.
