Benicio del Toney Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Esquilax, I like you too bro but look I don't decide anything, women with kids posting sexually explicit Insta pics, sleeping around etc... can not be interpreted in any other way. It's not really ambiguous is it? It's the same as the reference you made about Gangster Rap and it's elements, they can't be seen as positive can they? You didn't decide selling drugs and shooting people is wrong, this is the view of society as a whole to anything which is damaging to it. Footballers have a public image to uphold, the same as anybody who is afforded a great lifestyle by their fans and their hard earned money. It's why John Terry was given so much grief. Should Rooney not sleep with prostitutes? I dunno Should he not get caught sleeping with prossies whilst his wife is pregnant? No, absolutely not. This goes far beyond my sisters, they are 19 and 21 now so not really kids anymore and have navigated some of the traps their former classmates have fallen victim to such as teen pregnancy and sexually explicit videos circulating the world wide web. Maybe when you have responsibility over children you will have more sympathy towards a parents job which is the hardest thing in the world.

Nola D Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 i haven't even read this thread past the first couple pages but rihanna has been groomed from the beginning it's actually crazy she so big i remember whenshe came out i thought she was a one hit wonder.Her image and persona has been created by the fame/hit machine they spin you in and her music is sh*t BUT she entertains and sensationalism/sex sells.Even though I don't believe artists should be role models i feel her and her label should take a little responsibility because a large part of her fanbase are little girls i'd like to think grown folk with ears don't listen to her bullshit but i'm probo wrong.

Esquilax Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 do you not think it's slightly unfair that someone should have to tone down who they are / what their schtick is because they've been gifted a role that they never asked for and don't recognise? if one direction or justin bieber started talking about fuckin chicks n shit there would be uproar because from day one they have been marketed towards young girls rihanna is a different entity, she appeals to already sexualised adolescents and adults teen pregnancy doesn't come from watching the 'rude boy' video, it comes from poor sexual education which should start at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If her filth stopped at Rude Boy I would agree with you, the sad fact of the matter is Rihanna is posting these images from her twitter and Insta which have millions of young followers, followers who can access this stuff from mobiles whilst they are at school, on the bus etc... that's irresponsible.

Benicio del Toney Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Until his daughter turns out the wrong way partly due to what he has contributed to society. Of all of you who quoted Esquilax's post to my knowledge you are all African. I find it ironic when I think of the African proverb "it takes a village to raise a child". The ideal has clearly been lost within a few generations of being in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 theres loads of reasons someone may turn out wrong and wrong is subjective im sure to millions of people you turned out wrong so this discussion is moot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benicio del Toney Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nobody disputed the plethora of reasons somebody may turn out a certain way, the point was is he a genius if it comes back to bite him in his ass? And wrong isn't an ambiguous term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 then he'll deal with it i didnt say it was ambigious, its subjective, you may think youre living an OK life but some devout monk in some asian mountains may think differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
