Honestly that song is absolutely wild and more wild that it’s just totally accepted as ok. Like it’s the homophobic anthem ffs.

Just checked. Seems like Where The Hood At by DMX is still there. Is this really any worse?

It really is. The beat, the hook… All great. It’s a legit fantastic song if it wasn’t for the absolute dog shit content of the lyrics.

Yeah 100% I love the song. Just can’t get past the lyrics.

No different than 95% of all hip hop made in the 90s.

True. This song is current and plays very outspoken into a hate narrative that is tolerated by mainstream culture and is having real impacts on people today. Not that homophobia isn’t also a part of this same thing but. This song was written with only the purpose of promoting this specific fascist hate movement. Fascist media shouldn’t be tolerated anywhere by anyone. Tolerating them is the first step towards legitimizing them. A tolerant society must excise fascism from its roots wherever it should grow. We have already failed in this, but the least we can do is condemn fascists and the organizations that harbor their content.

Legitimately curious, what makes this hate media fascist?
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
No it’s fascist because it is specifically media created to propagate a fascist conspiracy theory about queer people being pedophiles who should be restricted from public life and who should face medical legal and social discrimination across all levels of society.
It’s fascist because it’s literally part of a fascist movement. I’m not using that word liberally, I am literally saying that this media and the movement it’s a part of is fascist. That it is comparable to media produced by Nazi Germany about queer people. That it is comparable in narrative structure to Nazi conspiracy theories, and other fascist narratives from fascist Italy and fascist Japan.
