Not abt bad bunny bc I think it's misguided to be discoursing about whether some performance in some thing (I don't even know what the context is for this) is challenging "toxic masculinity" or w/e. But some more general notes abt "toxic masculinity" & "gender nonconformity"

There is an issue with discourse abt "toxic masculinity" which takes racialized men as the paradigm of "toxic" thereby giving white, educated, etc men a way of claiming "gender nonconformity" through performative displays (painting nails, saying "toxic masculinity", etc)

Never interrogated abt this "gender nonconformity" is whether these men refuse housework, abuse women, neglect their kids. These stereotypes are assumed for racialized men, but never interrogated in white men whose displays of "GNC-ity" are taken to establish their non-toxicity.

So I'm concerned that when we praise this kind of gender nonconformity that (white, educated, etc) men can assume as a way of distinguishing themselves from racialized men, we lose sight of the things that are actually at stake wrt gender.

We lose sight of how gender is a system whereby women are oppressed, we lose sight of how structural (esp racist) violence justifies aggression against men whose designated "toxicity" cannot be overcome by poorly-applied nail polish or a surface-level understanding of feminism.
