Lil Nas X Gave the Devil a Lap Dance, and Conservatives Everywhere Are Panicking
This post is also available in: Español
Lil Nas X released his highly anticipated music video for “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” on Friday, and conservatives are losing their tiny little minds over it. The Lil Nas X music video is filled with breathtaking visuals from beginning to end, but probably the coolest moment is when he pole dances his way down to hell to give the devil a lap dance.
In the final scene of “MONTERO,” Lil Nas X kills Satan and takes his crown. The video is undeniably cool, sexy and fun on its own, but perhaps what makes it even cooler sexier, and more fun is the wave of “Satanic panic” it has unleashed upon conservatives.
First, in case you haven’t seen it yet, watch the Lil Nas X music video for “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” here:
This guy, who is apparently running for Congress (yikes!), is having a really hard time right now:
Conservatives: "Hollywood is pushing out intentionally evil content to kids"
Hollywood: "LOL Conservatives are so crazy no we aren’t, not at all"
Then Hollywood does this:
Many of these people are evil. I say this having directed a lot of these celebs. pic.twitter.com/f8LhoUrFzy

This is how stars like @LilNasX groom, sexualize and brainwash kids. Hook them as fans when the music is fun, poppy and harmless — then overwhelm them with a barrage of dark sexual content. Stop supporting this evil. They’re targeting kids & they know exactly what they’re doing. pic.twitter.com/Gy22OFA7uj

I mean, he is really going through it.
Here are even more people freaking out over the Lil Nas X music video:
Lil Nas x is praised for dancing on satan.
Kanye West is bashed for giving his life to Christ.
Welcome to 2021.

Many kids live in homes with absent fathers and bad mothers. Their minds marinate in nihilistic filth produced by half-literate sociopaths like Cardi B and Lil Nas X. There is no beauty in their lives, no truth, no love. It is no surprise when they turn into killers and criminals

I think the biggest problem for me is the fact he dont understand “old town road” is every kids anthem. Children love him for that record. They tuned in and subscribed to his channels. So with no disclaimer he just dropped some left field ish & all our kids seen it. Smh

We’ve turned George Floyd, a criminal drug addict, into an icon.
We are promoting Satan shoes to wear on our feet.
We’ve got Cardi B named as woman of the year.
But we’re convinced it’s white supremacy that’s keeping black America behind.
How stupid can we be?

If you know anything about Lil Nas X, you know he’s an expert at Twitter. Obviously, he didn’t choose this weekend to hold back.
y’all love saying we going to hell but get upset when i actually go there lmao

i spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the shit y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.
— nope 🏹 (@LilNasX) March 27, 2021
y’all saying a gay nigga twerking on a cgi satan is the end of times like slavery and the holocaust didn’t happen

there was no system involved. i made the decision to create the music video. i am an adult. i am not gonna spend my entire career trying to cater to your children. that is your job. https://t.co/SzjjYe2tf4

Apparently the ominous, overarching “system” is targeting children to — I don’t know — make them like very cool things like killing Satan and sequins. Why is it that every time a conservative speaks all I can picture is the tin hat scene in Signs (2002)?
To add insult to blasphemy (sarcastic gasp!), Lil Nas X also released a limited-edition sneaker (Satan shoes) in collaboration with art collective MSCHF, which feature a pentagram, inverted cross and a drop of real human blood. Only 666 pairs were made, they sold out immediately, and I will be bitter until the end of time that I didn’t get a pair.
Our kids are being told that this kind of product is, not only okay, it's "exclusive." But do you know what's more exclusive? Their God-given eternal soul.
We are in a fight for the soul of our nation. We need to fight hard. And we need to fight smart. We have to win. https://t.co/m1k1YWFpuo

South Dakotan Governor Kristi Noem is literally losing sleep over these sneakers. For her, it has come down to SNEAKERS VERSUS THE SOLE OF THE WORLD, and she is stressed that the sneakers are winning. Also I’m pretty sure that’s not how exclusivity works, Kristi. There are a lot more souls out there than Satan shoes.
Lil Nas X had this to say: “ur a whole governor and u on here tweeting about some damn shoes. do ur job!”
Later, Lil Nas X actually made an “apology” video regarding the Satan Shoes:
In conclusion,
we are in a pandemic and y’all are going on day 5 of being mad at a gay nigga who don’t do none but tweet all day
