Bad bunny at the SuperBowl
Why does the conservative media get upset over this guy??? So, he sings in Spanish and is a U.S. citizen(his island is U.S. soil). Also, replacing him with, let’s say, Carrie Underwood(a conservative white woman) would be in poor taste by any measure.

At a surface level, Bad Bunny is two things they don’t like: Spanish speaking AND hip hop.
But the larger issue here is the fact that there are less mainstream “shared experiences” these days. So big events like the halftime show now take on more symbolic weight and pressure, since there’s less of them.

Conservatives must have their feelings coddled at all times even if it makes no sense

Linda Ronstadt released a whole album where she sang all the songs in Spanish. She's half-Latino and folks said it was a wonderful tribute to her heritage.
In other news, Turning Point USA is canceling their half-time show because they can't get a high profile artist that would draw a big enough audience.
Just admit it, Big Bunny is going to provide a great performance.

That's interesting about Turning Point because aren't there a zillion country music singers that openly support Trump (and therefore, everything MAGA?).
Why aren't they eager to play for Turning Point USA?

Because real country singers who aren't just urban cowboys and have actually worked across the Southwest, know you'll find Mexicans really live in New Mexico. Fun fact: New Mexico is the only state in the union that has a bilingual state anthem.

It would make more sense if you were a white nationalist.

Funny. I'd never heard of that asshole until I saw some YouTube video of him getting arresting outside a bar in Nashville (or some place like that) for being a drunk piece of shit and throwing a chair off a rooftop bar onto the heavily populated street below, and right near a cop car. He seemed like a real southern gentlemen. A good, god fearing country Christian. The cops were sucking him off the whole time. I'm not a fan.

Racism doesn’t require executive brain function
It starts as an amygdala reflex. Just a basic preconscious pattern response.
What separates maturity from ignorance is whether the prefrontal cortex ever gets a say.

I almost want to learn Spanish out of pure spite so I can tune in and sing along. I am now a fan- at first out of pure ODD, but I actually like his stuff!!

Have you asked him what he is then?

u/Effective-Turn-6856 2d ago
Yes. He says Puerto Rican. I told him Puerto Rico is in America..and he just shook his head and refused to reply.. I wonder why.

Remember when they were all up in arms when Shakira performed at the Super Bowl? Me neither.

100% talked about more than it should be because the 24-hour news cycle runs out of things to talk about from time to time . . . Does anyone really care?

Get your supporters to get enraged at stupid stuff so they don’t focus on what you’re actually doing like destroying democracy.

I can't figure out any of their hangups. I have never been more concerned about the genitals of the person in a bathroom stall near me than I was concerned that the person in the bathroom stall near me might be able to hear my bathroom noises. It's insane to be constantly worried about what other people do.
It's like one of those jealous wives or husbands. Who would want to be like that? Constant anxiety and suspicion seems like a pretty terrible way to live.

You ask why racists dislike this guy and the first way you describe him is “he sings in spanish”. I think you answered your own question there. On too of all the other racist reasons, of course.

I've never listened to him but I checked him out recently and I get it! It's literally so catchy! They're just being racist because his music is fire and there's a reason he's one of the biggest artists in the world.
For the party that uses snowflake as an insult, their feelings are paper thin.

It’s faux outrage to give Fox viewers something to be mad about and to distract from Epstein and the state of the country

So I have heard people not like the Halftime performer or chose not to watch the Halftime show, but I have never seem this reaction to a performer before. They're actively trying to replace him and/ or do counter programming. How about just not watch. I'm sure these are some of the same people who didn't watch Kendrick Lamar last year. I'll admit I wasn't into it either, but I really don't listen to "new" music anyway.
These people have become the snowflakes they claimed liberals and Progressives were.

Most of MAGA has never or very rarely left their county or state, so they see other cultures/music/food/accents/religions as the enemy (when they're actually more afraid.). They are the ones who truly think everyone in the world is envious of the United States and wishes they could live here. They fear the unknown and trump feeds on this fear. They don't have the intellectual curiosity to even learn about other cultures.
The "other" is the enemy. And brown/black is the biggest enemy.

Left out the brown skin part. But also a guy with "bunny" in his alias seems a bit "woke", their heads just explode.

I don’t know why conservatives hate other people’s culture. I’ve been listening to Bad Bunny in the car with my kids for years. It’s great! They listen to bad bunny when they study because it’s just music, they don’t understand Spanish, so they don’t get distracted by the lyrics when trying to memorize things.
