Most progressive statement by a rapper in 2012, and maybe even now
Check out Noname when you can!
the existence of mainstream queer rappers is definitely a very new thing. you have openly bisexuals like tyler the creator, frank ocean, and isaiah rashad. lil uzi vert goes by they/them. childish gambino said he was unlabelled and playboi carti is too. and like, half of brockhampton was gay or bi
ask any young straight guy what his favorite rappers or artists are and there's a solid chance he'll mention one of those. especially with frank and tyler who everyone knows like men, it's pretty cool when i see straight guys everywhere who are practically stans of them and have posters in the dorm
Condemning homophobia (and hopefully misogyny as well) in hip-hop and rap?
Using another form of bigotry (ableism) in the process?
i literally know people like that. guy that got banned off twitter repeatedly for fighting homophobes but won't drop the r slur. people are wild sometimes.
This is like everyone born between 1985 and 1992 lol.

Under Trump it was verboten in left spaces to say the r word, and then Biden got elected and overnight all the stupidpol types breathed a sigh of relief and went back to dropping slurs. It’s like they all had to pretend to be good to differentiate themselves from Trump but then the pressure disappeared and they returned to their default setting
Yeah. Because it doesn’t matter to a lot of people. Idiot. Moron. Imbecile. Cretin. It’s just a new word to mean the same thing. People getting offended are just dummies imo. Society will just create a new word for it eventually. Or use one of the older ones people have been desensitized to being offensive.
People getting offended are just dummies because....? I don't remember the kids who needed special assistance in elementary school being called cretin or imbecile when being harassed but i do remember the r slur.
Not up to you what or why people get offended but this one specifically has real passion behind it for a lot of people.
There’s a qualitative difference between an able bodied person who just isn’t very bright or doesn’t put a lot of thought into things VS. a person with a mental disability. Idiot, stupid, dumb, etc. in the modern context are used to describe the former, while the r-word is used to describe the latter

This was twelve years ago, the r-word obviously was never good but it wasn't nearly so taboo in 2012 as it is now. I'm gonna cut him some slack on that, it was well intentioned
