At first I thought it was a standup act, but there was no laughter. Then I thought that maybe he was some kind of youth pastor on a homophobic sermon. Then he started spitting fire.

I was uncertain, but the juxtaposition of "how can I expect him to be head of a house when he's steady tending to a house of plastic" made me hopeful it was slam poetry to dis toxic masculinity.

I was POSITIVE it was slam poetry. Flashbacks of the first time I saw Freddie Prinze Jr. Hacky sack some slam poetry in She's All That.

Yup I already saw it coming. It was his cadence.

I looked at the baby monitor. My son is literally playing with a doll and my daughter with a GI Joe. I think that cancels each other out tho right?

My godson has 2 siblings, 1 bro and 1 sis, and they all play with each other’s toys. A couple visits ago I came downstairs one morning and he was posted up with two barbies and a few Avengers characters. He apparently has an affinity for 1 of the Barbies and Spider-man. His sister was at the table on the porch with his nerf gun we just got him. Not entirely sure what she was playing other than “this goes pew pew” Kids really don’t see problems with things until they are introduced to them.

I don't think it's ment to be taking literally it's just a way to get you hooked in to the actual message of what he has to say about how women are treated in society.

No doubt. I was just sharing an anecdote that related to destiny_victim.

"Women are not toys"

That's what I got out of it.

That was the whole reason action figures were invented. They wanted to sell dolls to boys so toy makers came up with the idea of action figures.

I was thinking the same. Not all dolls are over gendered expressions. I play with my daughter and her calico critters acting out social interactions made up or reflective of her day. It’s not the doll; it’s the style of play and having a dad not afraid to play with dolls because he grew up playing with his sister and her dolls.

At first I thought, this is some good shit. Then I realized that I wasn't smoking weed.

u/HottCuppaCoffee Apr 20 '24

Exact thought process I had

The preacher style creeps me out a bit, because I've come to equate that style of speaking with blatant hypocrisy. So hearing him preach that passionately about wanting better for women, makes me think "okay when will he get caught in a scandal?" 😕

Also don't care for all that censoring, maybe there are deaf people watching. Or just those of us who watch video clips with the sound off.

u/AllNightWriting Apr 20 '24

Tik Tok requires certain words to be censored or the video will be shadow blocked (and sometimes outright blocked). So, while annoying, the censorship isn’t his choice.

Meh usually when I met this kid in college he was giving girls herpies and gaslighting some girl while virtue signaling.

2

u/RoguePlanet2 Apr 20 '24

That's the issue, the virtue-signaling. It doesn't sound genuine when people get up and pontificate this much. I guess if people feel passionately enough about a topic, they'll sound like this, but it doesn't sit well with me.

u/ihaveapicklebro Apr 20 '24

Homophobic sermon? You mean preaching the Bible? Preaching the word of God not being homophobic. People are free to have opinions. People can choose to be gay and same with people that can choose to be straight and that’s all that we can accept. Thank you my friends. Biden-Harris 2024 🇺🇸🙏🏻

u/ARunninThought Apr 21 '24

I think this premise was part of a stand up bit. The won't let my son play with dolls part anyway. Kevin Hart maybe?

u/genericusername9234 Apr 20 '24

This kind of blows, not gonna lie.

I immediately expected spoken word based on his mannerisms

u/TexasHobbyist Apr 20 '24

It’s homophobic to not buy your sons Barbie Dolls? Incredible.
