I’m fine not arguing about it but my position is sincerely held. I’m not looking for a mother****ing role model. I think your argument is depressing let’s take the fun out of everything puritanicalism. I want rappers who know how to raise hell.

If he’s working and paying taxes he’s supporting one of the most homophobic governments on earth.

I want film and tv to be far more gratuitous
I want hip hop to be more abrasive
I want comedy to be more offensive

I want my entertainment entertaining goddamnit

You consider declining misogyny and homophobia a threat to that? That's just you just being unimaginative.

Not that that was ever true, but you are clearly not up to date, they had a change in government a few months back, this one is a lot more relaxed...

there's only a couple popular genres of music that make an effort on this, and there's still plenty of misogyny in them

I would ask you for examples but this isn't my point.

Anyways, I should point out (for those who haven't figured it out), I am not an american so maybe you have to be to "get it"?

Self-policing of any sort is a threat to that. **** your puss ass pc hip hop.

Never said anything about self-policing mate.

Also gotta love it when people run away from one group of idiots missing out on music only to join another one.

Yes. I love challenges to the status quo and pro-genderbendering and pro LGBTQ+ (especially radicalized) is very welcome afaic - bring it hard - bash back

Kill whitey - Go Go ISIS - it’s all fine

I’m just opposed to getting into a tizzy over homophobia and misogyny - that’s also amusing subject matter

I really can't place myself in your shoes but I hope that this "doesn't really bother me" attitude doesn't come from just a general desensitization to misogyny.

Not to get all high and mighty or preachy as a female but that's just kind of a sad reality about life in general that goes well beyond music. Not saying I see myself as a repressed minority because I still hit the lotto as a semi privilege white female but... yeah. You get use to it sadly. I love hip hop though and don't take the lyrics so literally when they do paint women in a less than dignified light but honestly why would I expect anything different?
