It became more normalized when Hip hop big 3 member Kendrick Lamar mentioned he was tossed by three dudes in a room

My homeboy just domed a nigga

Don’t think rap is as big an influence on that as social media and even tv, rap the least progressive in that regard

I blame it on mothers allowsing it / tolerating it also no fathers to curb it

all i know is when isaiah rashad was outed, i instantly liked his music more...

Season 4 had no soul to it

All the gay kids listen to rap, it’s part and parcel w youth culture

It’s just a war on straight men out here OP.

Gotta gear up…

Who they listen to? I still don’t think that means rap is causing it

I got two pet frogs. I only play hip hop for one. The other only listens to metal. Guess which one is LGBTQ?

Queer baiting definitely removed a lot of the stigma around effeminate behavior

Lmaoooo

Corelation =/= causation

Also "i cant fw dese niggas cuz niggas is gay" - one of the biggest rappers of our generation

To briefly pseudo-play along in order to rebut your thesis, the appeal of hip-hop is generally rooted in its hypermasculinity as an art form

So I would think the normalization, if it was happening, would entail showing kids you can be macho and clouted and still love men (which is sweet)

Not enticing them to act “feminine” against their “uninfluenced” desires

If you have a bunch of kids acting sweet (other meaning, which I incidentally learned from a Black middle school English teacher, now deceased, that worked with my mom), youre going to have to show your work a lot more to prove that hip-hop allegedly caused this

what happened to the one liner threads op

Trick question all frogs are gay

You know what they say about those who are most vocal about not being gay

Dont forget Auntie Diaries

We love our accepting king thats why he GOAT

"lol unc" by itself is hilarious

stream Chloe Hotline thats all ima say

Hip Hop definitely pushes effeminate fashion and themes; look at the weird random gimmicks they make Uzi and Carti do with the makeup and lip pouting and shoulder shimmying

But either you like d*** or you don’t a rap song ain’t changing that. It was gay niggas at my school before Thug came out and kicked all that off in rap. there is something to be said about the overall slow normalization of certain things with black boys but honestly we’re past a point of no return to where people just label you for even trying discuss things like this so is it really even worth it. F*** it lol I’ll worry about my kids when I have some

When I heard Flockaveli I said F*** DUDES

All in my page suckin d***
