Kristi Noem gets in Twitter beef with Lil Nas X over shoes, souls

[America Needs R'hllor]

There are many many MANY LGBT people who love God and would be appalled by Lil Nas X's antics here. He DOES NOT speak for all LGBT people. I know many who given a choice between Jesus Christ and Lil Nas X would choose Jesus time and time again in a nanosecond.

The choice presented before you isn't Jesus or Lil Nas X. It's Kristi Noem or Lil Nas X. It's a question about freedom of religion, which includes freedom FROM religion.

No it's not. I can reject both, in that I would never vote for Kristi Noem, and also reject Lil Nas X in that I'll never listen to him or support anything he creates. And I wouldn't buy these stupid sneakers regardless because I'm not ever spending $1018 on shoes.

No one is endangering Lil Nas' freedom to profit off of ambiguously-ironic Satanic fashion statements.

Also this guy had a much better reply than Noem, that's for sure:

You mean, like the video in which Lil Nas X defeats Satan?

I think I know why BRTD hates South Park so much now. Not only did they mock Family Guy, they also perfectly ridiculed his music tastes:

Probably true, but the rest of us are yaaaas kweeeeen. You can reject Lil Nas X if you like. Don't listen to his music, block him on Twitter. It's fine. It won't be hard. I'm old enough to remember Satanic Panic round 1 and when Madonna humped Satan for straight sex, so this is all entertainment now.

Uh, no? This sounds awful and like nothing I listen to. And as usual South Park is ridiculous and off the mark if they think all Christian music is like that.

THIS is real Christian music:

I haven't seen his video. I know I'll hate his music anyway so why bother.

You don't have to like his music and you definitely don't have to buy these shoes (I myself wouldn't pay 100$ for sneakers, let alone 1000$). But Noem is clearly not expressing an opinion of personal taste- "We are in a fight for the soul of our nation. We need to fight hard. And we need to fight smart. We have to win". It's a war for them- and one of the targets is the exercise of the freedom from religion. They want to stamp out any and all expressions of this freedom.

And let me tell you, if you don't fight for the freedom from religion as hard as you fight for the freedom of religion, then you can throw the whole thing in the trash and burn it. It's worthless.

Man.... you made a whole thread and wrote 14 comments in it WITHOUT seeing the video. And you excuse this by "I'll hate the music anyway"? This is some childish behavior.

Classic evangelicalism.
“I hate X”
“Have you any idea what X even is”
“No and I don’t want to”

[HisGrace]

Yes, this is silly, but it isn't any less silly than being offended by 50+ year old movies or illustrations in children's books. The lefties acting like it's so ridiculous and inconceivable that anyone would be offended by this need to get some self awareness.

The expectation has been created that there's a right to never be offended. If it exists it has to apply to everyone equally. If these were shoes with a picture of Muhammad on the box (as I said in another thread) or something that offended virtually any other group the left would be the ones leading the charge here.

In my ideal world there's no right to not be offended and people would grow up and move on when something hurt their feelings. But there's no reason evangelical Christians should be the only ones ever expected to do that.

Edit- Also, didn't we have a whole thread of people on here a while ago defending Colin Kaepernick when he got offended by shoes one time? I reiterate, get some self awareness. How dumb you think this looks is how dumb you look to everyone outside your bubble when you go on one of your little pop culture crusades.

Anyway, this has probably been said before, but the point Lil Nas is making isn't that he's joining forces with Satan and they're going to go fight for evil, it's that some gays have literally been taught since childhood that being gay was embracing Satan and fighting for evil, that's Inksing self-serving b.s. dished out by people who celebrate their own sexuality while crushing ours, and he's owning his own sexuality and his own story by sliding down to hell and dominating Satan.

Because the thread is about the shoes, not his video.

Oh. I honestly hadn't considered that.

Well, he's marketing them both together and it's impossible to separate one from the other in people's minds.

I know that he's a musician with "Lil" in his name. I have never heard such a musician I actually like, because that indicates rap, and as I've well established I do not like rap music. Now if like Machine Gun Kelly he releases an album in a genre I actually do like then maybe I'll listen to it.

Nah that’s nothing like the Christian music he listens to. I think this is a much better own:

Does this "Satanic Panic" nonsense exist in other western countries or are American Evangelicals just a special brand of stupid?

It’s illegal in Poland, which is really stupid. People who complain about Cancel Culture haven’t been to Eastern Europe.

Evangelicals growing up and moving on? Are we talking about the same evangelicals? The ones who cancelled D&D, Pokemon, gay people, and Harry Potter for being satanic influences on our children, a whole 30 years before "cancel culture" even became a thing? Gimme a break.

Oh no, mam. That is not good Christian music. Now listen to this.
