39. I think there may've been some layering to the posturing that we're missing

Someone shared this article with me, from Presbyterian Outlook of all places:

"Why you should listen to Bad Bunny

Alex Evangelista explores the depths of social, political and spiritual significance, along with the joy, in the music of the hit Puerto Rican recording artist."

"

In a genre often critiqued for its toxic masculinity and homophobia, Bad Bunny consistently uses his platform to speak against exaggerated male virility, promote queer inclusivity and fight for racial equality. If you do a quick Google search for pictures of Bad Bunny, you will find an eccentric, unashamedly authentic artist, while also witnessing his audacious resistance to gender norms and machismo culture. While his appearance challenges gender norms, he also explicitly speaks out against violence towards women and trans people.
