Quoting from the song, “LGBTQ, Let God Burn Them Quickly” Does that qualify?
Comment on Spotify Removes Offensive Imagery But Keeps Transphobic Song Despite Outcry
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 1 year agoHaving an opinion (even a controversial one) isn’t hate speech. Does the song actually call for anything hateful?

No. You can’t call god to incite violence. God doesn’t exist, if they did I’d like to think that they’d be inclusive.

Yes, it does.

That’s no call to action, all those lyrics are saying is that the author believes God will punish them, he’s not telling everyone else to do the same.
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The problem is that there are people who think that God has called to them to punish the “sinners,” so lyrics like that can very easily be the encouragement those people need to commit to action.
It’s dangerous to talk about a group of people that way. It’s dehumanizing.

This is legit a similar argument to the satanic panic or attempts to ban metal and violent video games.
Hold bad doers responsible.

Yeah it’s making fun of people. That doesn’t make it hate speech. Most of the world believes there are two genders, people are allowed to make fun of people who disagree with them.

How are people so knowledgeable on a song that they dislike. Don’t listen move on…
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It took me a minute to read through the lyrics so that I could be informed about exactly what’s in the controversial song.
It’s easy to have an informed opinion.

Or don’t read and then you don’t get outraged. Move on.
