Are these all gay men or trans men ? I'm not sure why they're mad?

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Whenever someone is mad for no reason, I remember the Anger Support Group from the TMI episode of South Park.

Anyone else in the "I didn't like the halftime show because it was completely unintelligible" camp? Seriously, I couldn't understand one single word he was saying. Was everyone else just using captions?

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I've heard it's better on YouTube and that some networks it was better than others. I didn't watch it though

[-] Nunar@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I was using captions because I can't hear well

Stop taking selfies and drive your fucking car dipshits!

I don’t think it’s racist to not enjoy something you’re unfamiliar with. And I worry that labeling stuff that isn’t racism as racism waters down what racism actually is.

I didn’t really like the halftime show, but that’s because it’s not the kind of thing I usually listen to. I didn’t dislike it, it was just kind of…neutral to me. I’m guessing if I knew the tracks I would’ve enjoyed it more.

I did like the set design. It was pretty cool.

Had it been country music I would’ve actively disliked it.

The difference is you (and I) didn't make a big fuss to make sure everyone in our social circles is aware of the fact we didn't like it. If someone asks me, I'll say "yeah the clown car thing was super fun and the backup dancers did good and the guy on the lamppost, what was he doing up there? But yeah not my thing."

But that would imply that I thought the talent was talented and worked hard to put on a good show, which if I was a racist pos I would not want people to think I thought that.

So to recap: not liking something that isn't to your taste is not racism, but declaring it excessively within certain social circles certainly can be a form of virtue signalling... The signaled virtue being how white you are.

I didn't like it because i couldn't understand what the man was saying. HipHop isn't my jam so i wanted to hear this ultra-popular artist put on a show.
I didn't understand 90% of his lyrics.

Was the mix awful for anyone else?

[-] Zero22xx 34 points 1 day ago

The difference is that you're not calling it "DEI", highlighting the fact that you just use that as a substitute for the n word, considering that all the performers were black and there was no diversity there.

I'm just going by what I'm reading online but to me it seems like a fair assumption that the people crying "DEI", and who didn't mind being in the same company as neo-nazis when it came to who they were supporting politically, are probably racist.

That term was watered down several years ago. Which is sad, because it's supposed to be impactful and mean something when heard. Now it's a reactionary term for "thing/person I don't like". I know we'll return to normalcy eventually, but damn, it's taking a long time.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah I also didn't care for it, but that's cause i don't listen to Kendrick Lamar and I find rap hard to enjoy if you're unfamiliar with the artist/lyrics (maybe it's just me or my hearing, but stadium/concert rap is impossible to decipher).

Looking around at opinions, a lot of people enjoyed it so seems like he was a good pick.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago

I'm glad i wasn't the only one who couldn't hear shit. The mix was terrible.

[-] Doom@ttrpg.network 4 points 22 hours ago

I listen to that stuff and it was just okay. Better halftime shows and worse meh

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 day ago

70% of NFL fans are white and 53% of players are black.

So the white fans want to watch black athletes but not have anything to do with black artists. They can probably block out that the players are mostly Black, Hispanic and mixed race because they have helmets on and are just jerseys to them.

[-] ajsg@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

We all are mixed... we are all humans... we all are homo sapiens (modern humans) Race is a concept to divide and conquer by some humans

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

The underlying assumption here seems to be that white people don't listen to hip-hop, which I don't think is true at all. I think Superbowl audiences just span several generations and Kendrick, while pretty popular, isn't so famous to be known by a lot of old people. This has been an issue with Superbowl acts for a while now... there's not as much of a monoculture with pop music as there used to be, and so musicians aren't reaching the same status in pop culture as they used to.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Well I didn't want to type out more stats from where I found them but the bigger majority of the white breakdown was 55+, which probably does have a smaller group of hip-hop listeners than lower age groups.

They’re always in their car in their avatar. I bet a massive super pickup too

[-] prole 15 points 1 day ago

Usually because they're in the middle of a messy divorce, and "that bitch took everything." Never their fault of course.

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

90% of that audience seemed to know when to scream "Mustard", "Certified Pedophile" and "A-Minor" during the show so I doubt 90% of us haven't heard the music.

Fucking racists. They should walk into a fire.

Thats a weird way to say "trebuchet into the lava pit", but I'm OK with options.

So what you're saying is we should make a giant rube Goldberg machine with everyone's ideas combined into one, for roughly a 2 hour viewing event, with voluntary donations to support correcting the harms caused by them?

If so, YES!

My takeaway from this is that Trump supporters are hiding their eyes so we don't realize that they've all been crying constantly.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

My husband happens to look like a MAGA person (bald with a goatee and sunglasses) but he is as liberal as they come. At least he doesn’t drive a truck, lol. And he wears rainbow shirts. Cause, you know, rainbow = gay DEI or something.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago

My wife apparently passes so these MAGA nuts at her work tell her all sorts of racist tea.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

'passing as a MAGA nut' is both a hilarious and depressing concept

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah I really dislike how guys with wrap around sunglasses are painted as Maga. Some of us with bad eyes need that protection from glare :(

[-] petrol_sniff_king 1 points 10 hours ago

You should take it up with everyone's dad who wears the exact same pair. :p

I'm a bit OOTL here. Did Kendrick Lamar do something at the half time or are they actually upset because he's black.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Singing While Black.

[-] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

Both as his show was a celebration of black American culture to some extent. It was great.
