[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Nicki Minaj made this video, it would be 6 hours of Twitter talk and the online tabloids would be, like, “See Nicki’s HOT new video!!!” People just are bent out of shape about this because he’s gay. The same thing happened to Adam Lambert years ago when he did a “controversial” performance on some awards show and it nearly killed his career. [/quote]

That is part of it but I’m also seeing complaints that there should’ve been a disclaimer when the video dropped bc lil Nas x has a targeted population which is kids. [/quote]

Kids are not Lil Nas Xs targeted population. His first major song was about 'lean' and having sex. Just because parents let their kids repeat the lyrics - just as parents let their kids sing the lyrics of Watermelon Sugar which is about cunnilingus - does not make it a kids song.[/quote]

Never said his songs were for kids but that’s who listens. Old town road is popular bc kids loved that crap. So yeah, his main audience is kids. [/quote]

And it’s the responsibility of adults to limit that.

I couldn’t listen to Police in middle school because Roxanne was a prostitute and there was apparently a chance I would work the red light district if I listened to Police.[/quote] you must not have kids because kids are bombarded with this stuff and it is impossible to just turn it off. Algorithms and cookies are. designed to pop up based on what they’ve liked in the past. So yes if everyone played the number one rap song in the country and liked Lil Nas X when he was just a fun loving pink cowboy outfit wearing kid who happens to be gay, then guess who’s new music video is popping up on YouTube? I didn’t think he would put a video out like that and have lost all respect for him and the very things I thought he represented. It’s unfortunate because he really had the opportunity to do more with his platform as the first openly gay rapper. [/quote]

Yes. I have kids. My biggest worry is drinking in college and country music is always encouraging children to get wasted, drink beer, drink on a plane, drink when sad.

Shall I forbid country music?[/quote]

If you’re forbidding country songs that describe getting intoxicated, I’m afraid you’ll have to forbid the song “Old Town Road” by none other than Lil Nas X. [/quote]

No it doesn’t but it does talk about cheating.

So yes. Country music lyrics are horrible for children. Are we forbidding country music too?[/quote]
