Robin Thicke's #AskThicke Twitter Hashtag Backfires: 'Why Are You Such a Misogynist?'

When VH1 played host to a question and answer session with Robin Thicke on Twitter, they could probably have predicted the reaction they received.

Instead of innocuous questions about the Blurred Lines singer's favourite foods or musical influences, the majority of those responding with the hashtag #AskThicke had more pressing concerns - such as his misogynistic song lyrics.

Blurred Lines, which includes the lyrics "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two" and "he's don't smack that ass and pull your hair like that", received negative criticism for the song's trivialisation of sexual and domestic violence against women.

Even though Blurred Lines remains the most downloaded song in UK chart history, Thicke's critics went to town with the hashtag.

Thicke is planning to answer questions online Tuesday at 7.30pm BST.

#AskThicke Robin, you're my favourite misogynist! Would you sign a picture of an apron for my daughter? She wants to be a Dr for Gods sake!

How's your own personal feminist movement based on trivializing consent & promoting rape apology going these days? @robinthicke #AskThicke

#AskThicke if a woman says no but 'you know she wants it'. How many years in prison would you serve for statutory rape?

#AskThicke It might seem like some of the questions on this hashtag are cruel and abusive but Robin, I know you want it

#AskThicke Are you an actual predator or just a profoundly boring man desperately trying and failing to make erotically-charged music?

#AskThicke do you think that the content of the questions you are getting crosses the line? As if it were, I don't know, 'blurred'?

#AskThicke Sometimes people don't want to date me even though I'm obviously entitled to them and their bodies. How should I approach that?

Do you remember that time you thought they'd named a loaf of bread after you, until it was pointed out it said 'thick cut'? #AskThicke

Hey Robin, is it just women you hate or are you a horrible bigot towards other people too? #AskThicke

How many naked women did it take before you stopped seeing them as people & instead saw them as YouTube hits? #AskThicke

#AskThicke immurement or scaphism? Gonna give you a choice, which is more than you've done for any woman.

I’d like to #AskThicke why he thinks it’s cool to publicly humiliate and pressure an ex-partner, but somehow I doubt they’ll ask that one.

You still haven't told me where your shoes are, so I can piss in them. Where are your shoes, so I can piss in them? #AskThicke

#AskThicke Did you really write a rape anthem as a love song for your wife and are you still wondering why she left you?
