It wasn’t for us, though. I speak EU Spanish and I didn’t gets lot of it, nor understand all the symbolism, but the celebration of the language and culture seems self evident.

I didn’t get all the symbolism in the Chinese Olympic opening performance, or countless other cultural performances, but I don’t see it as necessary to understand 100% to be able to appreciate the expression.

I don’t particularly care for Bad Bunny’s music, but the show felt to me like a powerful expression of cultural validity on a huge stage in a country where people are facing state violence for looking like they belong to that culture.

From what I’ve seen shared online from members of that latino/a community, they feel like it was incredibly powerful for them to see genuine representation at that level. To me that is more important than whether or not I personally understood all the language or symbolism.

I never said that it's not an official language. Why accuse me of something I've not said?

Not an accusation, but part of my point.

You haven't read my comment by the way. I said I watched a video of it (on YouTube). There were no subtitles available under that video.

YT not mentioned in your original comment; lack of subtitles on the video you saw not my problem nor my point.

I also haven't said that this show should've pandered to White English speakers. That's another baselesse accusation. I said it would have been a more powerful message, if the message he rapped about in the lyrics would have been at least partially understandable to English speakers.

Reread this angle a few times and maybe you'll understand the problem. People understood the spirit of the message and that's the real substance. That show broke viewership records: people knew what they were tuning in to and wanted to see it. Music is often called the "universal language" for a reason.

How the fuck am I supposed to know as a German that this show had subtitles in the original tv screening?

You're not supposed to, and that's not the point.

Why do you make up shit to get offended about? We're on the same team. Some of you guys are a bunch of nitpicky assholes who thrive on finding things to argue about rather than trying to find things you might have in common.

You're doing exactly what you accuse me of & trying to delegitimize my points with strawman and ad hominem. With "teammates" like you, we don't need enemies.

This is what I get for engaging with someone who talks about "successfully integrating subcultures", I guess. Have a good life and may we never meet again.
