Lil Nas X Covers Out Magazine

How hasn’t this been posted yet? Lil Nas X is the biggest current gay star and DL is severely sleeping on him. Probably because he isn’t white. Meanwhile, some of you worship straight white rapists and murderers.

In 2021, I'm not inclined to describe any non-heterosexual as brave for doing anything while being out. Unless that non-heterosexual is doing something, being out, in a heavily homophobic area while being OUT.

But yes, I wouldn't expect DL to devote attention to a major openly gay black phenomenon because... race... ism. Compare the flood of threads about supposedly closeted white pop 'stars' like Shawn Mendes to the frequency of threads about Lil Nas.

DL has treated a politician, Pete Buttigieg, like he was the gay version of Martin Luther King Jr., despite the fact that this supposed 'trailblazer' stayed in the closet into his late 30s. That's what this audience likes a subdued, 'passing', non-threatening, 'clean-cut', 'straight-acting', 'mainstream' who will be gay--but 'like them' and 'doesn't rock the boat too much'. 'Respectable'

Frank Ocean didn't make the popular cultural impact that Lil Nas X is making. Forget the quality of the music.

And neither of them inspired thread after like supposed 'maybe they're gay' white boys like mediocre-at-best Shawn Mendes. A pretty run-of-the-mill-looking, poorly talented, slightly famous, *MAYBE* gay/bi-sexual guy in his teens/twenties with white skin will continuously spawn threads long after his 15 minutes of fame are up.

But yeah, this is a 'gay' site that is (for now) predominantly populated by white gay men age 45+. Many of them believe that even vegans of their own race are 'out-to-get-them', forget influential black men. Hell, a chunk of them think that transgender people are in a conspiracy to pressure sex reassignments on gay kids... I mean, I've actually revealed past posting histories of users like "GermanGayGuy" as fraudulent and posting neo-nazi propaganda from PragerU and the general reaction is "*shrug*, he seems nice". And they don't know the difference between pansexuals and genderfluids, but let me tell you, they don't like 'em! No queer black artist is going to gain traction here unless they're like Don Lemon singing remixes of Frank Sinatra songs (also I just broke somebody's pacemaker by typing the word "queer" probably).

Just sayin', Lil Nas X is a little outside DL's wheelhouse. But, generational turn-over happens, so I'm happy to bump the thread with hope for the future.

Also, we had this orgy (me and the trans, bisexuals, pansexuals, etc.), in an abortion clinic while actual abortions were happening! Around us!

That doesn't happen if someone starts a thread about a white person having say, raped a bunch of babies. It doesn't suddenly become a dinnerbell for the jackals on here.

R73 "So according to you because there are threads that feed insults about black criminals that makes DLers racists."

I will be presumptuous and respond to you instead of that poster you replied to since I don't think they want to address you further.

No, honey, the point that is being made when people discuss prejudice and inequality broadly is about PROPORTIONS and PROBABILITY. Understanding these things requires the ability to see things in a non-dualistic (aka non-binary) manner.

It's a matter of how the likelihoods of potential outcomes of variables are distributed differently based on certain variables like race. Terms used to discussed patterns like this include 'risk susceptibility' and 'opportunity structure', for instance.

As an example, in the previous poster's observation, they commented that, on Datalounge, threads about criminal behavior committed by black people tend to attract much more activity and many more condemning sentiments. Does that mean that every commenter that posts in such a thread is racially biased themselves? Individually? No. But is there a racially differentiated likelihood of attention to and condemnation to black criminality? Yes. Factually.

You, yourself, are not, necessarily, a racist if you don't like Lil Nas X. But, overall, is the likelihood of disliking Lil Nas X differentiated by racial bias among other variables? I'm pretty sure that it's safe to say that yes, it most likely is (and surely affected by things like religious affiliation, religiosity, urbanicity, age, etc.).

You do come off as very suspiciously potentially racist due to the fact that you're losing your damn mind over the fact that people are pointing out that racial bias exists (including on Datalounge) and that it could affect attitudes towards this artist. And, at this point, you're practically a goddamned encyclopedia of 'things that racists say without overtly saying that they're racist' though.

So, take that for what it's worth to you. Which I'm going to go out on a limb and guess is... nothing.

by Anonymousreply 77August 6, 2021 8:22 PM

In this case the fact that Dlers are not LNX fans has nothing to do with racism. I remember when DLers went crazy about queerbaiting, ambiguous Tyler the Creator, and he is no whiter then Nas.

I've linked a wikipedia article on laissez-faire racism below, as a cursory reference.

Your nearest community college probably offers introductory courses in the philosophy of logic and an introduction to statistics & probability, which I think is advisable. After that groundwork, you could consider a course in the sociology of race & ethnicity as an informal capstone.

As a former instructor though, I would recommend against using the terms 'retarded' and 'wokeism' in your term papers though. They'll probably be poorly received.

Best of luck to you.

That “crap” was the precursor to what is relevant today. A wise man once said “better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

The comparison to Frank Ocean is interesting to me. Ignoring the debate over the quality of music, Frank has never had a super explicit “gay” song, right?. There’s still an element ambiguity there where he’s queer and some of his songs are about men but it’s not very overt.

To my knowledge he doesn’t have a line in one of his songs equivalent to Lil Nas X’s “shoot a child in your mouth while I’m riding.”

To me that is a major difference in what Lil Nas X is managing to do right now: the music and visuals are undeniably gay and not watering down the sexual element.

R100, i compare the two because DL has hundreds of threads practically jizzing over Pete's every move, yet a thread about Nas brings out the claws.

Why is that?

He looks like he's trying to be Chris Tucker's character, Ruby Rhod, in 1997's 'The Fifth Element.'

Not attractive at all.

He’s really one of the most revolutionary figures in gay history. His success has broken down a barrier that seemed insurmountable previously.

Agreed. It makes no sense why so many DLers are being weird about this. He is the gay mainstream artist many have been waiting for. Even if you don’t like his music, you have to admit he’s moved the industry forward tremendously for gay men. No mainstream gay artist has ever had the guts to do what he’s doing.

Lil Nas X, Jussie Smollet, etc…….why are these people who have done so many bad things still being discussed? We need to promote and support people contributing to the world. The non-glamourous scientists working on cures for HIV, cancer, and Covid-19.

R121, Luv, you're dreading it happening, right? Because you KNOW it is coming.

All LNX is about is controversy, and he's using "gay" as his opening to the world. Soon, he will have to SHOCK the world by choosing to change his sexuality to "fluid" or "pansexual" or "bisexual," because GAY isn't shocking enough.

R77 I think you're one of those completely neurotic Wokes who seeks conflict on DL in order to fill the void of his pathetic life. I stopped at " I will be presumptuous and respond to you instead of that poster you replied to since I don't think they want to address you further". Who do you think you are foolishing here??? Didn't you said this was your last response??? You have to keep your word instead of being incoherent, mediocre, mentally retarded. Racism has absolutely nothing to do with anything you describe. You are an ideologue and I see that you spent your time pissing off all the people who didn't like Lil Nas or who don't give a damn about him. In fact, you're just a stupid, uncultured, uneducated contemptuous groupie. I feel sorry for you, You are the exact reason why Trump supporters are growing.

Spreading racism by caling everyone a racist. People have the right to don't give a fuck of him without being racist or homophobic, DEAL WITH IT, and STFU.

I like Lil Nas and a lot better than that one Queen who does “Put my pussy in your mouth.” His first song with Billy Ray was cool. I like Montero too. He certainly has done a good Madonna-ish job of switching gears.
