Comment on Spotify Removes Offensive Imagery But Keeps Transphobic Song Despite Outcry

  Said f*ggot in his recent track with Busta Rhymes, says he still hates them. I complain about this all the time. It’s a big problem in hip hop. Even up and coming rappers like Token use the slur in their lyrics and it annoys me to no end. A lot of these people are fairly intelligent. It’s just so deeply rooted in the culture as a way to insult masculinity.

    Not only homophobia. Rap music has a huge problem with sexism and misogyny.

    And then there’s bands like Cannibal corpse.

    Not saying that transphobia is OK, but there’s a lot of weird and questionable music out there.

      What does Cannibal Corpse say? Other than stuff like I cum blood.

    I don’t think he hates gay people. But his music is controversy, that’s its selling point. And I think your last sentence is spot on. For your typical “masculine” man, being called gay is an insult. It shouldn’t be, but unfortunately that’s the way it is.

  It’s okay for people to express their opinions even if you consider them bad opinions

      imagine thinking this is an own. you aren’t special because you are gay, and don’t get to dictate how the world works either.

      That’s the great thing: they never said they weren’t nor tried to silence someone for Wrong Thinking. But the other person is. The other person said offensive works should be banned.

      I sense the spirit of Joseph Lieberman in this thread.
