While I sympathize with your points I believe they are missing the mark. This isn't cringeworthy today because of the mental abuse that Spears was subjected to, or her possible underage status: this has aged terribly because there has been a seismic shift in how we (as a society in the west) talk about people in general, and women in particular. In my view, bullying and sexually tainted degradation has gone (is going) out of fashion, and not a moment too soon.

That was my point as well, I guess I just didn't explicitly state it. Thank you for adding this comment
