This episode discusses homophobia in the black community, and how specific cultural perspectives influence our views on the Power Rangers (LGBTQA+). This is not a defense of DaBaby's disgusting comments, it is an assessment of how men like him arrive to these beliefs. Also how popular culture selectively protects individuals in the Power Ranger community.
