“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.
So it’s a report on the reactions to the show on X. Who would have thought they wouldn’t like an all-black half time show?
I’m actually thrilled that they’ve managed to ringfence themselves off into an increasingly toxic cesspool.
Now we just need to get the people that write articles like this is correctly add that context and say “10 hilarious ways X users whine about Superbowl Halftime Show. Number 4 will make you piss yourself laughing.”
Your comment made me piss myself laughing. 👍
How about how many black people were on the field playing? Were they okay with that, or are they just waiting for The Orange One’s comments on the subject?
.
I’m sure these true warriors for diversity would complain equally vehemently if it was all white.
They for sure have problems with the lack of representation at Carrie Underwood concerts.
genuinely on some level they do. she doesn’t have a penis or testicles or present as male. they’ll tolerate female artists… for now
DEI = anybody that is not white and/or male?
As a white person I couldn’t give one fuck whether performers at an overblown sporting event are white or not.
People really have this kind of time? Also as someone who’s home constantly: get a life.
Agreed, Kendrick Lamar is of course going to have black stage dancers, his music is directly about and influenced by black culture after all.
Everyone knows musical performances without white people being involved is racism!
This is why I refuse to go see a single performance by Stevie Wonder or even Ladysmith Black Mombaso.
I won’t even listen The Black Keys or Black Sabbath. You know, just in case.
You have to keep on your toes because they’ll try and trick you with Barry White and Frank Black.
“I am not black like Barry White, no I’m white like Frank Black is.”
White Stripes are probably ok though. Stripes indicate diversity, right?
Knowing X, not shocking.
any complainers can eat my cisgender white asshole
Look, I wasn’t a big fan of the half time show, either, but that’s because it was only one person and wasn’t a big spectacle. I think Kendrick absolutely crushed his performance, and the dancers and choreography were amazing; but it was like a really large music video and not a halftime show spectacle. If any other person had made a musical cameo besides the woman I didn’t know who sang two short lines, then it would have been better. The reason I say that is, in my unartistic opinion, Kendrick is a bit one-note; so adding another artist would have punched harder.
I knew people would complain about the lack of diversity on stage, but I also think it was completely intentional to make a point. I loved that aspect of it.
I made the mistake of visiting this link on mobile with ad block disabled. Holy shit, have things gotten bad.
Lately when I send links to family and friends I use Apple’s
.webarchiveformat because I know they don’t have any blockers. I can’t in good conscience link someone to content that will profile them.Would sending an Internet Archive link work as well?
I didn’t even make it that far because the commercials were fuckin horrific.
I stopped watching the NFL in general several years ago when they went to split screen to show a commercial during gameplay. I can’t even imagine how much worse it has gotten.
I’ve never seen them do split screen during gameplay. Maybe if they timed it wrong, but not that I can remember. But thet do have split screen during short timeouts or ref reviews
The commercials are the only part I might be interested in. Last year’s were definitely a mixed bag.
I guess it’s been a while but it was just more commercials than game and every single commercial was just a celebrity fuck fest. I don’t see many ads.
The only Superbowl commercial I remember from recent years was the Tide one, where Hopper keeps showing up and says “nope. It’s a Tide ad.”
That and puppybabymonkey
Puppymonkeybaby made a cameo in a new commercial last night. I had completely forgotten about puppymonkeybaby until I saw it.
This year’s commercials were unbelievably boring and/or bad. They were all somber and super serious, except for the Dodge Ram Fuck Yeah America ad.
When all the coaches for the Kansas City Chiefs were walking to the field, I thought someone opened the diabetic clinic.

Your sneaking suspicion is objectively stupid.
They’re a troll. Doing dumb takes on many posts.
Its about Drake. Just Drake.
Yes, but is Drake a crypto-Jew?!
not even crypto. just straight up raised by his jewish mother. there’s a lot of reasons to hate drake. when people hate him for the color of his skin or his jewish upbringing you can dismiss them for being racist
Who is Jewish.
“I couldn’t understand the words!” “It’s secretly about Jews!” …
Lame ass take
