    edit: Don’t hide Tyler’s bigotry. Put him on display. Show this sort of shit to the world. Hiding it doesn’t change what he wrote.

        And yet directly quoting it underscores this idiotic mess of a song and its creator’s messaging. Hiding it doesn’t change what he wrote.

        Put people on blast for their trash.

          You realize he’s gay right? Do you think black people shouldn’t be able to say the n-word?

            I didn’t. I’m just bowing out of this conversation. All I intended was defense of people. Instead, I got something else.

              I get it, just maybe look into things a bit before just labeling someone a bigot. To be fair you can be both gay and homophobic, I just don’t think that’s the case here, he’s just an edgelord. He also said this when he was like 18 and as far as I remember he hasn’t used the f-slur in his newest records.

                See, that’s the issue. Nobody has time to research every single little thing. I saw somebody complaining about the lyrics. I read them and saw censorship of a slur, I saw garbage content, and I read context on the slur. My reaction was “whoa, fuck this.” Yet, here I am, on the wrong side, because I didn’t take time to research some artist I don’t care about. An artist people were criticizing already.

                There’s no winning. I knew the moment I pulled out I’d be told, “wElL yOu ShOuLd ReSeArCh” because that’s how this fucking world works now.

                Instead: dogpile rather than recognizing intent. I’m just so tired.

                  2 people replied to you and you got down voted to -2. You weren’t “dog piled” but whatever man…

                  We weren’t even harsh towards you. We just said there’s a difference between fuck and the f-slur and that the dude was gay.
