i'm not offended by the n word in her songs because it is sung by a black person who is taking control of a word historically used to demean her and others of her colour and it's her right to use it if she wants and not my right to dictate or do anything other than not use it
Britney would have had the #1 album with 290,000 units sold, but the Eagles got it instead with 711,000 units (but sold exclusively at Walmart). Billboard had a rule that they wouldn't could records sold exclusively, and then the day before the chart came out, they changed it.
Also, I don't even get why she went there. I don't know a single fan of her music (besides myself) who isn't a gay man. Seriously. She is just fucking herself big time with this.
I have a lot of bisexual & gay friends (and I am also bisexual) and none of us think that way or have EVER said the f word. at least I've never witnessed it. the only people I've heard say it are homophobic assholes.
i'm really nhf gay men calling lesbians 'dykes' or lesbians calling gay men 'faggots'. i'll be honest and say that a few years ago i'd joke around and use those words with them but i feel like by a certain point you should know better and grow out of that.
"i have female friends who say it to me the way i say dyke to them" is such a stupid fucking argument. i don't think they should be saying it at all, but even then, that's language between friends where you know the other person is okay with it and it's said in jest. this was an insult meant to hurt, not the same thing at all.
i mean i really dont give a shit but that is REALLLLLY fucking dumb of her when 95% of her fans are hip gay males who are going to crucify her for this.
but lbr it's not going to end her career. everyone in here acting SOOOOO OFFENDED will not change whether or not they like her in a few months bc that is what always happens.
I miss the Olympics
