Main problem here is that lil nas x' shoes were never a human rights statement and were purely satanic so this is irrelevant to the point he was trying to make.
Tony Hawk's message and lil nas X' message were never the same so this comparison is a reach to begin with.
What was satanic about the shoes other than the imagery?
I don't know if you or anyone else on this forum actually skateboards or did in the past, but decks have pictures on them, as well as t shirts from the brand's.
Tony Hawk owns birdhouse, that's his brand. He's had a few official skate decks and T-shirts that featured a devil or satanic imagery on it.
