I mean, I like that he very publicly walked back his homophobic remarks and tried to make amends. A lot of people look up to celebrities, so when they show people a good example, I am for it.
Especially since he worked with a queer organization to show that homosexuals are just regular people for an audience of children, this feels more than just an empty apology.
Didn't you know that people can't change and the worst thing they've done represents them no matter what they do
Ah, yes, I forgot. I'll get my pitchfork.
only if hes not being disingenuous about, and not because of convenience or pr.
Sure, but the original issue was a comment and a personal choice in choosing media. Making an official retraction and appearing to try to educate people is an appropriate response to this.
If this was penance for a larger transgression, like funding an anti-LGBTQ cause, yeah this wouldn't be enough.
Chances are, we will never know his intentions. If you ask me, I really don't care about Snoop Dogg. However, I know a lot of people look up to celebrities like Snoop Dogg and would take his example to heart. In a sea of poor examples of behavior, I really like this.
And the playing for a fascist dictator dancing like a bitch on his red stage? What about that? Because that shit ain’t going away
Wait what the fuck I forgot that was him.
Naw fuck him.
