He "plans to don a dress during his 2026 Super Bowl halftime show to honor Puerto Rican queer icons and generations of drag, resistance and cultural rebellion."

It doesn’t matter if I like Bad Bunny. Simply the idea that anyone of such stature in pop culture today can upset half a nation, doing something so harmless, brings me joy. This is not about you Red Hat Cult idiots.

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 months ago

Good Bunny.

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

He should dress as an ICU nurse

[-] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 months ago

I might actually watch the halftime show now just to watch people lose their shit.

It's so heartwarming that this show of solidarity and support is boiled down to: "Making ~~the libs~~ MAGA cry"

I hope it's a skirt, or some form of "technically not a dress" that only computer chair experts woud argue about.

Based af bad bunny make them bitches wretch and shriek

Is this the state of the press now? All this shit going on and people are arguing about a fucking dress again

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

The dress is resistance. Joy is resistance. Yes all this shit is awful and happening but if we're not also doing things to support others and bring up people who are being marginalized and scapegoated, then the oppressors are winning.

I agree it's fucking stupid to fight about it, and yes, it's a distraction, but that doesn't take away from the real pain that people are feeling that is caused by these distraction tactics.

Two things can co-exist, and everything is related.

Is this the state of the press now?

No? What gave you that impression? The only semi-serious press I see about this is from the sports column of USA Today. Everything else – what little there is – is tabloid trash like The Daily Beast or the Daily Mail (don't construe this as me putting those on the same level; a tide pool and an abyssal trench are both in the ocean).

Just because something on Twitter says "BREAKING" doesn't mean it's receiving actual coverage. "The press" isn't a monolith.

Crashing out is a term for someone losing their minds, typically over some inconsequential shit.

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ahh! Thanks!

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 3 points 4 months ago

Nemo looked fresh as shit in their dress.

Good bunny

The most streamed musical artist in the world in four separate years, who is set to play the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

Puerto Rican rapper. Repugs had a collective aneurysm when he was announced for the half time show because oh no a latino

This is fake news though. He doesn't have plans for a dress apparently.

Sari not sorry

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I rarely ever care to watch the Superbowl and i have little to no interest in Bad Bunyy. But this year I'm definitely tuning in. This should be one for the ages.

I get him confused with “bhad babby” or however you spell it - the “catch me outside” girl who got sent to sexual abuse and torture camp on Dr Phil

Next time he’s on the toilet

So football is woke now? I though it's just a way for rich people to monetize giving poor people brain injuries while promoting nationalism. Amazing what good PR can do.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'd say more corporate woke than woke. A man in a dress is a cultural statement, sure, but it won't cause a rift in the market the way Palestinian activists getting their message through might. I think Bad Bunny is a force for good though, and the more google searches on his name the better off we are. It'd be nice if the Democrats could muster the courage to support marginalized folks, so in their absence it's at least nice that celebrities mostly do. At least the ones that haven't failed out of Hollywood and decided they're going to be grifters now.

[-] BanMe@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Based on the Republicans I know, they will just hit "mute" and go in the kitchen for the halftime show. Their wives might watch parts of it and shake their heads before yelling "There's a whole thing of ranch dip in the fridge, and I can microwave some Velveeta if you want nachos."

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

You think they're going to pass up on an opportunity to bitch and whine and pearl clutch about something completely inconsequential???

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago

idk who this is, but he actually looks good in it. can we make this fashion normal again?

[-] Royal_Bitch_Pudding@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

He was the caddy in Happy Gilmore 2
