    So, he’s has to explain something to a child? Sounds like a nightmare. These people would take away your rights because they don’t want to deal with reality.

    Ok, boomer. Also: sad old man. I bet he has no problem explaining why he was a murder suspect? Or why he used more weed than god intended?

    Snoop continued, “I didn’t come here for this shit! I just came to watch the goddamn movie!” He added, “Fuck me, I’m scared to go to the movies. They’re throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for.”

    Sounds like a “You” problem, Snoop.

      Snoop said that his grandson asked him, “Papa Snoop, how did she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!”

      This is the part that gets me. Its really not that complicated.

      If a kid is old enough to ask this then you can tell them “oh a doctor can make you pregnant with an operation”.

        forreal, people have such low opinion of what kids can understand (because they think kids have all their own same biases automatically)

        My partner teaches preschool, sometimes the kids ask her if she’s a boy. She says she used to be but she’s a girl now, the kids say “ohhh” and immediately move on. It only ever gets weird and confusing for the kids when the parents feel the need to argue that point.

      he sounds like a 55 year old white woman. putting his head in the sand, cause that sure gonna make everything go away that he doesnt agree with.

      just seen his new video clip yesterday, and its 100% ai generated. looks like he is rather selective about the new world.

    Being uncomfortable around LGBT I can understand. It’s dumb, you’re dumb, you’re stupid, but I somewhat understand. You’ve been brainwashed for decades and need a minute to adjust… I guess?

    But scared?

    And of all beings, snoop Dogg? Wasn’t he pretending to be a bad ass gangsta rapper?

    Afraid?

    Afraid of two people holding hands?

    Afraid of seeing a woman who might have some manly facial features?

    Afraid of generally just really nice people living their lives?

    Afraid of two (or holy hells, maybe… Even three!??) people that just love each other and live together in the same home and maybe like to do things together in the privacy of their own home that you maybe would not do?

    AFRAID OF WHAT, YOU SHIZZLE FUCK?

        Reminds me of when Dave Chappelle called his audience poor for booing Musk. Money and the Hollywood bubble changes people. There’s probably a few that can survive, but they need to always be defensive.

      He isn’t afraid of gay people.

      He is afraid of having to have the conversation with his grandkid about gay people having a baby due to the content of a kid’s movie.

      Sort of like how a grandparent would be uncomfortable discussing procreation with their grandkid. Shit, parents are uncomfortable discussing that with their own kids and that is a far easier and more straightforward thing than discussing sperm donors.

      He is scared that a kid’s movie will inspire questions that he is uncomfortable answering as a grandparent.

        I remember when old people were boycotting Frozen because it didn’t have the traditional “boy saves the girl” narrative. They thought it would inspire uncomfortable questions from their grandkids.

        Fuck people who think like this.

        Did boss baby raise fears in parents that they might have to explain procreation? If no, then two mothers shouldn’t.

        And just telling a kid that every constellation of parents are possible, it’s just that some matchups are more common than others doesn’t seem like daunting task.

        Why is the assumption by these people that there is a sexual component required in the explanation? Age appropriate explanations are easy.

        “Know how some families have one mommy and one daddy? Some families have two mommies or two daddies instead.”

        If the kids ask about the actual mechanics of procreation they are old enough to hear something like:

        “Some couples adopt or they find someone to have a baby with who helps them make a family.”

        Was there any need to mention surrogacy or donors? No. Kids don’t need to oversexualize queer people. Adults don’t need to over sexualize queer people! When people are sheltered from our existence until they are in their early teens they tend to think of gay couples as explicitly just sexual relationships rather than romantic or family building ones that are as dynamic as straight relationships because they were introduced to them as a sexual mechanics first kind of way. It’s dehumanizing.

    Snoop said that his grandson asked him, “Papa Snoop, how did she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!”

    That doesn’t really sound all that damning. I don’t remember it being explained in the movie either.

      I don’t remember it being explained in the movie either.

      One thing I think, and I’m not saying that you think otherwise, is that movies are way better when they don’t explain everything. In real life, we don’t always get explanations, and there’s stuff going on all the time that we have no explanation for.

      So, the lack of explanation in a movie, as long as it’s not distracting, actually adds to the feeling of authenticity, in my opinion. Movies where everything is explained and nothing is hidden about the characters… it just makes everything feel flat and childish.

        Yeah, that’s true for sure. And Snoop could have certainly answered the question better; there’s nothing wrong with saying you don’t know. I just think it’s a stretch to paint him as homophobic over this. (If there’s a history of him being homophobic, I don’t know if, and I didn’t notice it in the article.)

          I agree with you. I don’t think this is him being homophobic, I think this is him being bad with kids.

          Don’t forget, he appeared in Bruno singing about how it’s ok to be gay.

      It’s even more pathetic because the context was apparently Lightyear, where a lesbian couple has a kid, and the typical MAGA boomer reaction: “How do I explain that!?” Uh, people adopt, Snoop. Like, that’s always been a thing…

        Besides snoop being dumb, surrogacy is a thing.

        The fact is, its like a 2 minute convo where you just lay out the facts. Its only difficult if youre trying to indoctrinate your children or you hate talking to them.

    Typical old man s***. Zero ability to self reflect.

    Here’s an interesting excerpt from an intervention he was given by Dionne Warwick.

    “I told them, I said, ‘You guys are all going to grow up. You’re going to have families. You’re going to have children. You’re going to have little girls. And one day, that little girl is going to look at you and say, ‘Daddy, did you really say that? Is that really you?’ What are you going to say?’” she added.

      Content of the link:
      Snoop Dogg and others face heat for performing at Trump’s pre-inauguration ball.

      Disappointing when someone you thought was a tolerant person turn out to be a bigot.
      Instead of a link people need to click with no idea what it leads to, you should include the title or something describing what it’s about.
      I normally never click such links as you made. I could also be tempted to downvote such a post for wasting my time.
