what do you think of people like snoop dogg shooting "trump" in his videos? marilyn manson did it too.
is it really part of their music or are they just trying to surf or the current thing that gets a lot of attention? isn't it dangerous - encouraging what might be insane people to do violence?
>caring about any artist who releases music videos Pleb.
Cameron Collins
It's edgy and juvenile but I don't care. Morons compared Obama and Bush to Hitler
Kevin Scott
If it happened to Obama, there'd be a media outcry. But it's completely fine as it's against someone the media actively runs hit pieces about. Depicting violence against anyone in the public eye is wrong in my opinion, as it can and will encourage people to act on it.
>music videos i feel like they rarely live up to the mental image you get when listening to the song and just make it suck more
Ryder Sullivan
Pretty weak really
William Hughes
>White artist make a video where he kills Trump >Nobody cares
>Black artist make a video where he kills Trump >"DUDE WHAT THE FUCK HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR THIS!"
Andrew Sanders
what are you referring to?
Austin Reyes
this is the same logic that the religious right uses to condemn violent videogames. people don't just do crazy shit like that just cause they saw it on tv (or the internet)
Manson is intentionally edgy and thats how people see him so this isn't too outside what they expect
Snoop is dude weed lmao so you wouldn't expect him to shoot the president in a video
Gabriel Young
This exactly. Expect a lot of alt right kids to cry and expect this is something novel though
Benjamin Morris
Do you know the genre of music Snoop became famous for?
Kayden Nguyen
Yes and I am also aware his style has shifted considerably since then, but my point was the public sees him as dude weed lmao, causing more backlash than when Manson did it
Adam Russell
It's probably a bit on the nose and basic, but I agree with the sentiment.
>B-but if it happened to Obama Trump's not Obama, he's much, much worse. Anyone who doesn't see that--anyone who is still clinging to their smug, safe, uninformed "lol calm down both parties suck equally" centrism--is a hopeless dipshit.
>Depicting violence against anyone in the public eye is wrong in my opinion, as it can and will encourage people to act on it. The only reason I hope this doesn't happen is because it'd be a strategic misstep and turn public sympathy towards the "martyred" Trump and by extension his brand of politics. If that weren't the case, then yeah, fuckin' blow him away.
The same people on the right who were all "fuck your feelings / lol triggered much / conservatism is the new punk rock" are now in full pearl-clutching mode lol.
Logan Diaz
Juvenile and opportunist theme. But wouldn't expect any better, Manson is for edgy 13 year olds, Snoop Dog I don't give a shit about, and both make ultra plebeian music.
Gavin Williams
Shut the fuck up faggot
Noah Walker
That's why I really fucking hope nobody makes an attempt on him. I'm dating myself here, but when Reagan got shot, he turned from Reagan to Saint Ronald overnight. Even people I knew that were on the left jumped in to 'defend' him, because an attack on the president is seen as an attack on American Values™.
Christian Brown
it's cause manson hasn't been in the mainstream eye for awhile now, and also people are used to shit like this from him. and part of it could also be that they're picking on snoop cause he's a "gangsta thug rapper gotdammit"
Jordan Reed
go back to Sup Forums
Logan Ortiz
>posts his retarded faggot opinions about why it's ok to kill the president >tells someone else to go back somewhere
Eat a dick you little bitch
Angel Watson
Tbh you made the mistake of fleshing out your political thoughts on Sup Forums and expecting a response with more depth than that. Internet Trump supporters are meme loving chuckle fucks who don't have the capacity for actual discourse
Thomas Stewart
I'll have political discussions with people who disagree with me but not about Trump because it's fucking pointless. If you niggers really think he's Hitler then grow some balls and fucking do something. Tired of listening to the impotent whining.
Oliver White
I wasn't the guy who posted lol
Isaac Perez
You don't have to deal with this emotional distress, friend. You have a safe space.
Landon Wright
Shut the fuck up, faggot.
Jacob Morales
You won't because you can't, so you'll get triggered instead and pretend everyone who dislikes him thinks he's the next Hitler. Go back to your safe space.
Nolan Martinez
grow up
Christopher James
/thread/ honestly should've ended after this post
Hudson Nelson
>the religious right uses to condemn violent videogames Why are teenagers so obsessed with this topic? It's not like they wanted to censor an actual art. And they didn't even ban them. They just made a rating system.
To answer the OPs actual question >is it really part of their music nope >are they just trying to surf or the current thing that gets a lot of attention? yep >isn't it dangerous - encouraging what might be insane people to do violence? probably not
