Blood in shoes? This needs context.

What an amusing username he has at the moment to go with his tweet.

But I do think definitely a lot of homophobia/racism to do with criticism of Lil Nas, but Tony Hawk is one of the most beloved celebrities around which helps a lot as well.

I mean the outrage over the shoes was dumb as hell, but I feel like most of that outrage was at the satanic angle, rather than the blood?

Lil Nas X had a customized brand of Nikes, with satanic imagery, which had a drop of blood in them

I mean controversy or no he still could have sold them if he'd made the shoes and not just modified existing Nike shoes.

So its not really the same.

Dann I'd rock those actually. I'm not religious so satanic imagery doesnt bother me.

I'd imagine he got a lot of flack from his own community over those shoes. Is he calling them racist too?

I think he was talking more about homophobia.

Ive ran into a surprising amount of black Satanists in prison. But yeah not enough to really make a difference here.

It was the blood combined with the Satan shit, although it's certain some merely used that as a pretext to shit on Lil Nas overtly or not because he's gay and has gay music videos

He's being disingenuous, the controversy over his shoes was not about blood

Think the issue was more trying to illegally sell satanic blood shoes.

Honestly the whole fuckin thing sounded like an episode out of some angsty drama show.
