    Snoop said that his grandson asked him, “Papa Snoop, how did she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!”

    That doesn’t really sound all that damning. I don’t remember it being explained in the movie either.

      One thing I think, and I’m not saying that you think otherwise, is that movies are way better when they don’t explain everything. In real life, we don’t always get explanations, and there’s stuff going on all the time that we have no explanation for.

      So, the lack of explanation in a movie, as long as it’s not distracting, actually adds to the feeling of authenticity, in my opinion. Movies where everything is explained and nothing is hidden about the characters… it just makes everything feel flat and childish.

        Yeah, that’s true for sure. And Snoop could have certainly answered the question better; there’s nothing wrong with saying you don’t know. I just think it’s a stretch to paint him as homophobic over this. (If there’s a history of him being homophobic, I don’t know if, and I didn’t notice it in the article.)

          I agree with you. I don’t think this is him being homophobic, I think this is him being bad with kids.

          Don’t forget, he appeared in Bruno singing about how it’s ok to be gay.

    So, he’s has to explain something to a child? Sounds like a nightmare. These people would take away your rights because they don’t want to deal with reality.

    Ok, boomer. Also: sad old man. I bet he has no problem explaining why he was a murder suspect? Or why he used more weed than god intended?

        hydrophobia isn’t fear of water.

        Yes, it is.

        Classically exhibited as a symptom of rabies, which is probably what you’re thinking.

        words do not decompose that way.

        Yes, they do.

          hydrophobia isn’t fear of water.

          Yes, it is.

          Oh, jesus christ. 98% of the time, “hydrophobia” does not refer to fear of water.

          words do not decompose that way.

          Yes, they do.

          Oh, jesus aitch fucking christ. No, they do not. You cannot divine the meaning of a word you’ve never seen before by breaking it down into sub-word units of meaning. That’s just not how the English language works. You can get some hints, but you cannot definitively know what a word means, and fuck you for making me say something that basic and obvious out loud.

              He’s probably referring to hydrophobicity in chemicals. Where the molecule is repelled by water. It’s often called hydrophobia as well.

              It’s a bad example for a bad argument.

                Yeah I guess this is more likely than rabies, though rabies is also referred to as hydrophobia.

                I’ve heard of materials being referred to as “hydrophobic” but never heard the discussion around that property as “hydrophobia.”

                It’s a bad example for a bad argument.

                Yes.

                It’s a great example, what do you mean?

                They are literally pushing back water with their bonds and are fully phobic of it.

            Words used in medical terminology (Like many areas of science) were made using specific latin roots for a reason you numpty, and the reason why is so the definition is clear and set, and there won’t be some idiot insisting a word means something it doesn’t.

            Take hypoglycemia for example. Hypo: Low Glyc: Sugar -emia: In blood.

            Just try to divine what hypoglycemia could POSSIBLY mean given that information. It’s a bit more than a fucking hint.

            Dermatitis? Derma: Skin -itis: Inflammation. Sweet JESUS what ever could dermatitis mean?!?!?

            Next you’re going to tell me pericarditis, containing the roots Peri (Around) Card (Heart, Cardio) -itis (inflammation) means inflammation around the heart! Insanity!

            So what ever in WORLD could a medical condition named HYDROPHOBIA ever mean?

            Username checks out.

            Oh, jesus christ. 98% of the time, “hydrophobia” does not refer to fear of water.

            Perhaps true. What would you call somebody who was afraid of water, though?

            You cannot divine the meaning of a word you’ve never seen before by breaking it down into sub-word units of meaning.

            You absolutely can for many, many words.

            Not all words, of course. Some words, like hydrophobic, gain additional meanings over time.

            you cannot definitively know what a word means

            Sure, but this is a new standard that you seem have come up with in your rage.

    Aw fuck. Why, man? Just why?

    To those that don’t know, Snoop Dogg has been making a lot of material for kids lately. He has a YouTube channel (called “Doggyland”) designed for preschoolers. That means he actually does have an audience these days, even if they’re far too young for Lemmy.

    I used to think, “Aw cute, becoming a granddad has inspired him to create educational videos. He even gets to explore his new Bow Wizzle fursona!” (I mean.)

    But this, this takes back all the joy. I wouldn’t be surprised if some parents who hear about this decide to unsubscribe and/or block his channel.
