DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's definitely a mess when "liberal" people who support LGBTQ give passes to Travis Scott after his anti-gay rampage at a show. It's so common with many of these artists and yet people don't care. Also, Chris Brown... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really messy and upsetting Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S 7,601 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I like rap but yeah they do get a free pass because it's part of the genre. The media/people will be the first to be offended if something is racist while at the same time bopping their head to homophobic or misogynist lyrics.

SKANK 14,288 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Maybe it's not a bad thing to hold public figures to different standards. In 2019 rappers have taken the place of rock stars, who in their time were thought of as relatively dangerous. Do we need all public figures to be models of good behavior? Aren't rock stars and rappers meant to be icons of volatile and unhealthy behavior? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most rockstars of nowadays are not sexist or homophobic, and even back when rock stars were big in the music scene most of them didn't use slurs that can be extremely harmful. It's different to be self destructive - that's only hurting themselves. But to allow people to use slurs and promote women as objects in 2019 is really out of touch and hateful. I think they should be that way if they want to, but they should be held responsible as much as anyone else. Bitch I'm Madonna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that rappers are occupying the spot once occupied by rock stars - a life of opulence, objectifying women, ignoring cultural sensitivities, violent outbursts. It's horrible behavior, but like I said, I'm not sure we should be looking to them as role models. That isn't their value in our culture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be a role model? Nobody is perfect. I just think we shouldn't promote one artist for doing one thing, and attack others for the doing the same thing. It's not fair.
