          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.
