While the bandmate may have previously agreed to Hoodie making these comments about his previous sexual encounters, consent is ongoing and ever-changing. Hoodie took it upon himself not only to sexualize a female fan onstage and sing a tune about her body without her permission, but to provide intimate details about his bandmate’s personal life without asking the bandmate right beforehand if he could discuss this information with the audience. The songs he performed further highlight how he acts as if women are solely a vehicle for sex, from the second song “Are U Having Any Fun?” (“Everyone agrees, you so attractive, it's unanimous / I'll do anything you want, babe, except abstinence”) to the tenth song “Casanova” (“30 Bitches piled in and we so deep / 20 Women on the couch and they on me / 10 Hoes tryna figure where my rank goes”). If the entertainment industry is going to continue to maintain this front of celebrating diversity, then entertainers like Hoodie, ones who publicly promote ingrained gendered hierarchies and notions revolving around how a woman’s worth lies in her sexuality, should not be allotted a platform to do so. In the midst of the #MeToo campaign, in which victims of sexual assault are coming forward to share their experiences, Hoodie Allen deliberately chose to perform songs that promote the notion that since he has money and a small amount of notoriety, he is in the position to exploit the sexuality of others for his own
