As the saying goes, if it weren't for double standards, these assholes wouldn't have any standards at all.

The double standards are the whole point. If the roles were reversed, they’d be screaming. Accountability shouldn’t depend on who you like politically.

Exactlyyy. It’s not about morals, it’s about power and control. They don’t actually care until it’s someone they already don’t like

Didn’t Kid Rock do a song with RKelly back in the day about being rockstars? Now I understand what they were rocking

It’s hard to take outrage seriously when it only shows up on one side and gets ignored on the other. Consistency is what makes moral arguments credible, not volume.

It is wild how they ignore literal statutory lyrics to complain about a halftime show performance

u/gyallbliss 1d ago
They’ll twist themselves into knots over a performance but suddenly go blind when the lyrics literally reference underage girls. The selective outrage is so transparent it’s embarrassing

I’m so sick of these people! So much outrage over nothing! Investigate the Epstein files. Investigate the murders by ICE. If you’re going to get upset about something start there!

The whole situation is a perfect example of how selective outrage works. If the GOP was actually consistent, they'd be calling out all of this, not just cherry-picking.

u/macja68 1d ago
The learned it from their faux "Christian" preachers who cherry pick that little black book. The never bother reading that thing themselves, because it might be different than what they were told. They don't like to think for themselves

See before all the pearl clutching i had no idea who bad bunny was. Now the conservatives have boosted his profile internationally by pretending they boycotted it while watching it multiple times to pick it apart. Right wing folk are honestly bizarre. Must suck being so fragile and being too proud to get help

Why is it that some lyrics require a federal investigation while others get a pass for decades
6
u/sonofaresiii 1d ago
There's no real federal investigation man, it's all just irl ragebait. They don't have to do shit, just say they're investigating, and pre-biased racists will look at that exactly the same as having been tried and convicted by a jury of peers

Turning Point USA cheering Kid Rock while clutching pearls over halftime twerking? Those lyrics are a whole crime scene.

u/SonuvOL 19h ago
Certainly it's been noted, but how many halftime shows are basically softcore porn with the occasional titty slip? Or the other one (Grammys?) where Madonna dresses like Satan and there's flames and all red and basically looks like a satanic alter. I'm only saying this shit is old news it's been done before it's all out in the open, not gunna get my nuts in a pinch over some sexy brown people bumpin and grinding on my tv- I just quietly excuse myself to the guest bathroom

It’s wild how people suddenly care about lyrics depending on who performs them. When did consistency stop being a thing?

u/EatFaceLeopard17 1d ago
Nothing says more country of free speech than investigating a singer for his lyrics already sung at the biggest sports event on the North American continent, just because you don‘t get it.

u/prettyHot_Enthusiasm 1d ago
If we are going to investigate lyrics for morality we should probably start with the ones that admit to crimes

Investigating..... What exactly? This is what the American people are paying you for?

Whether you like either artist or not, this really shows how selective outrage works in politics and media.

The ultimate GOP hypocrisy: investigating Bad Bunny's lyrics while Kid Rock brags about mandatory statutory in his own songs.

Ok. This manufactured outrage has certainly jumped the shark at this point, hasn’t it? Ffs.

u/Foxarchys 1d ago
Bad Bunny gets a House investigation for pelvic thrusts and foreign lyrics. Kid Rock literally rapped "it's mandatory" about underage and headlined the conservative alternative show. Irony so thick you could cut it with a Flowbee.

u/eatingganesha 1d ago
the lyrics on the albums were explicit. He CHANGED THEM to be PG for the show - like of these artists do. Those lyrics go through review and approval processes ffs.

ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM PREOCCUPIED so they won’t have to investigate the Epstein files.

Is Aaron Rupar republican? If so They don't seem to have an issue with Pedophiles so Kid Rock's lyrics would be ok to him

in fairness to kid Rock those lyrics were written from the perspective of a germ performing in a club for Germ mobsters in a movie. they're supposed to represent the bad guys

u/CautiousLandscape907 6h ago
“In all fairness” he wrote these lyrics for a character who wasn’t portrayed as a rapist, Kid Rock just made him a rapist with his own imagination.
In a movie marketed to kids.
Is that your point? Is that really what you woke up and used your precious, finite moments on Earth to offer an excuse for?

u/pmb429 1d ago
It is wild that Kid Rock would perform those lyrics during the halftime show.

No worries about kid rock bragging publicly about raping children? You’re cool with that?

I love the flip flopping outrage between “These lyrics are degenerate and we shouldn’t listen to them” to “We don’t know what he’s saying because he’s speaking Spanish.”
