So an LGBT member using a homophobic slur is worse than someone mocking the death of a teenager. Good to see that Interscope has their priorities straight...

this shouldn't be okay either, it's still offensive no matter who says it. just because some lgbt people are okay with saying the word doesn't mean all of them are, she's not the ambassador for gay people.

An artists bad personality could never take away from their music for me, i'm just saying she should grow the fuck up. In today's day and age the internet gives anyone a voice, one hidden behind a computer screen, so people have started to mouth people off given any chance possible. If you're big enough to use all your grown up words to chew someone out, atleast say it to their face so we can really see who the bigger person is after the fisticuffs go down

Well, DirEnRefused pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's easy to say faggot is just a word when it hasn't been used to belittle and dehumanize people like you. But if you think "it's just a word" is a legitimate argument, you clearly don't understand how words work or how much power they can hold. You can try to redefine the word all you want, but as long as it still carries its derogatory connotation, it's gonna hurt people, and when you use it, you're indirectly perpetuating that harm.

hesperus
January 7th 2013

Also, Azealia's definition of the word was no better than its common definition. Why is it a bad thing for men to act like women? All she's doing is tacitly endorsing the bullying of feminine men (not to mention trans women) regardless of whether they are as reprehensible as Perez Hilton.

I'm not sure what strict definition of "authority" you're referring to, Wolfhorde, but what I meant was this: If a heterosexual with a college degree (even a college degree in Sexuality Studies) attempted to explain my own oppression to me, I would slap that person.
