Lil Nas X is a great follow on TikTok, because you'll just be scrolling and see a bunch of super-short reaction videos to tweets, then a behind-the-scenes from his music video, and then suddenly it's a video of him outing Tekashi 6ix9ine for rolling into his DMs...

welp it was only a matter of time,

https://news.yahoo.com/nike-sues-over-lil-nas-212300938.html

Nike filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit Monday against the company that released a controversial customized version of its sneakers in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X.
.....
Nike filed the suit — Lil Nas X was not named as a defendant — after many people said they believed it was involved with the shoes, even though it released a statement over the weekend saying it had nothing to do with them.

The lawsuit argues that Nike must maintain control over its brand "by setting the record straight" about what products bear its distinctive "swoosh" logo.


Thankfully it seems lil nas x isn't tied to this lawsuit...yet.

There’s no way they’ll sue Lil Nas X. They’ll probably have their own collab with him in a few months.

On the one hand, I can't stand evangelical christian cultists and I delight in their misery. On the other hand, this kid obviously is a pathological narcissist like most people in the entertainment business and is only in this for his own vanity. He'll go wherever the eyeballs go even if that means he fakes finding jesus in 18 months after he falls out of the news cycle. Can't we fire them all with a cannon into the sun?

Ah, the eternal dilemma of the modern internet atheist: Trying to decide what you hate more...evangelicals or a successful black man.

Lol holy gently caress what a picture

It's like someone took a brunette goldilocks/lil bo peep wig, cut off some of the longest/largest wide curls, and laid them between her legs.

I legit feel kind of bad for looking. Like, it's not revenge porn, but it feels really borderline.

I mean if you want to believe in an afterlife to calm the ever present fear of oblivion, then you could make up the choices being heaven or worm poo poo. Instead they came up with a separate place of never ending torture for people wanting to live slightly different lives than them.

I mean, the place of never ending torture idea was more a way for people to imagine that folks like Jeffrey Epstein will end up seeing justice somehow. Then it gradually creeped from a thing for horrible people into a thing for everyone who didn't fit into your exact religious identity.

Ben Shapiro's outrage made WAP a massive hit, he got turbo offended so everyone had to see what the big deal was, a lot of people streamed it out of spite for him and all the other conservatives who can't handle raunchy media.

This is all the epitome of "no bad press".

WAP was a huge hit even before Shapiro parodied it, grandpa. It was all over TikTok and people had been doing reactions/speculating on the music video long before he did his spoken-word recitation.

"gradually" lmao the directive to convert heathens even (especially) if it kills them to save them from Hell dates to Roman times, the idea that virtuous nonbelievers could even possibly go anywhere else only got embraced in doctrine a thousand years later and then all the Protestants split off because they hated the idea of actually doing good or evil mattering so much

I mean, yeah. That is gradually. Roman times were several thousand years after the development of religion and myths like the punishment of Sisyphus in the afterlife (for being an especially wicked person/ruler) was already ancient by the time Rome Christianized.

The right-wing outrage machine has learned nothing since Marilyn Manson/KISS/The Beatles/Mozart/Thog.

They learned that it works. Yes, they look stupid to the young and hip people, and as far as pop culture goes the artists are going to continue to be rich and successful. But it's a good way to get older/unhip/square people angry and agitated so that they come out and vote. (Also, it makes the young and hip people be outwardly derisive of those old and unhip people.) The Beatles' "bigger than Jesus" controversy was before Nixon got elected. The KISS "Knights in Santan's Service" rumor was before Regan got elected. The Marilyn Manson controversy came before the election of George W Bush.

The right-wing outrage machine doesn't really want any of this banned. They just want dumb people to be angry, because this serves their political and financial ends.

Yeah in addition to regularly harassing random black women who post photos of themselves with white guys on Twitter, he just released a feature length "documentary" about how homosexuality in black men was caused by white slave owners raping them and causing homosexuality to start infecting them.

It’s crazy just how often you’ll see homophobic black folks immediately start bringing up Buck Breaking the moment you so much as mention Lil Nas X. All their arguments come directly from it, to the point where it’s basically the Loose Change of its era.
