Rastafari isn't actually that cool, especially not when it comes to gay people. They are also strongly opposed to oral and anal in heterosexual couples and are generally quite patriarchal. Have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari

Also, afrocentrism is one of its core ideas, which makes it pretty weird when white people convert to it (e.g. Gentleman, a German reggea singer).

Nothing quite like a funky Jamaican pot still style rum. So good.

Rastafari is also not very cool when it comes to women. It's basically old testament Christianity.

When interrogating, do the cops ask there "Why are you gay?"

[skunkworkz@lemmy.world]

lol some of the “cool” stuff are explicitly against homosexuality. Like Rastafari and Reggae (not all) Lots of homophobic lyrics in reggae music. And often just calling for straight up murder of gays.

If it wasn't for the weed-smoking, nobody would think that Rastafarianism is cool.

[rumschlumpel@feddit.org]

Even without weed, they still had Bob Marley and reggea in general.

For those not getting the reference, this exact question was asked in the infamous Ugandan interview.
