So would it be safe to assume that the only artists you see as being a risk to kids mental wellbeing are the artists that are overtly and openly obnoxious?
"It felt very fake to me... even to the point of being humorous. And magic spells are not real so..."
Obnoxious? I would not consider overt misogyny and degradation of women simply "obnoxious". XXXTentacion's lyrics were filled with misogyny as well as the promotion of drug use, sex, violence, and other things of that nature. Those things are truly harmful for young people to glorify and see as cool. Like I said, his young fans practically worship him even though he is a rapist and abuser. Glorifying abuse and r*pe is not healthy for young people or anyone... it's disgusting certainly very harmful.
Right. But real satanic rituals and spells, glorification of rebellion and rejection of authority, teen orgies, rejection of parents and family and etc.... promoted by some of the largest media conglomerates the world over and all available on a global streaming platform, aimed specifically at youth.... clearly not as big of a threat as a fringe rapper who had about 1 year of psuedo-buzz and aint even alive anymore......
So anyone openly promoting drug use should be seen as a bad example to kids?
Do they?
Apparently so, if you can put some blood drenched singer on YT who's singing about getting on your knees if your naughty and intelligent people can't see this as in any way offensive then their little magic trick worked perfectly.
But can they prove that?... because I don't think that kind of magic is real at all. I don't see what the show depicted to be grounded in any sort of reality, most of the stuff that happened in the show was literally not possible in reality. A lot of It was made up. In one episode, Sabrina even went to Catholic purgatory and tried to bring someone out of it... no one even knows if purgatory is real in the first place or if someone can be brought back from it. Most of the time the witches just chanted in very bad latin... and saying something in latin doesn't make it magical.
Muslims do not have to believe in that sort of magic. It's fake, unrealistic TV magic. Magic spells do not work in real life. The magic that took place in the show seemed to be very fake... a lot of things were just not possible. But some rituals however, did occur... and rituals can totally be real and performed in reality. I don't know if the rituals in the show are actually real though...
Of course they don't... You can't "cast magic spells", that's fantasy. Harry Potter isn't real life.
But there seems to be some magic that's worked on you, here you are, coming across as an intelligent individual, actually defending morally corrupt performers as if it's us that's defective for having a problem with it.
When did I defend anyone that's morally corrupt? In fact, none of my comments have been "in defense" of anything or anyone at all. My posts are simply describing my opinion on the nature of certain pieces of content, not defending the content, or praising it either... just analyzing it rationally. I'm just describing it as I see it.
No you are not. You are justifying certain works as "dark humour" and minimising it's effect on the demographic it is aimed at.
It has nothing to do with you, I have not called you defective. Why would you take this personally? Simply expressing my own opinion does not mean that I'm attacking you. You can disagree with me and if you want to discuss why you disagree in a civil manner, then that's fine.
You see, you're misconstruing my argument again. I do not think it is aimed at a young demographic, as I have stated multiple times. I think it is for an older demographic who can actually understand it. I am not "justifying" it as dark humor... I truly think that Poppy is a satirical character played by Moriah Pereira and is not serious in any way. I do not take Poppy seriously and no one else does either, she is seen as a joke and a weird meme across the internet. People create crazy and elaborate theories about the storyline told in her videos, as a joke and a fun thing to think about. And most of her content, especially her recent music, is not suitable for young children... adults and teens are the ones who can watch it and understand it.
The imagery and words from the small samples I have seen are accurate, actual spells. So weather you feel the magic is "real" or not, these are authentic rituals being performed, with the clear intention of indoctrinating the youth whom see/hear it.
I don't think you have enough life experience to make this statement to be honest.
EDIT Such drama--
I listened to this on the way home, this evening. I still cant get past the idea of "good jinn." A little excerpt I read (elsewhere) said Jinn are made of fire, people are made of earth-- and maybe something else is made of air and another of water? Idk but it sounds like elemental spirits.
Yes, there are good and evil jinn.... they are one of the sentient creations of the Lord and some surely have the free will to do good or evil. But its my understanding that the "good" jinn dont/cant interact with most humans anyway.... they are reading scripture or doing whatever they do in their own plane of existence.
"... we are not to attempt contact with them or anything else on the supernatural planes."
