creativity. Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I think it’s being misinterpreted. He sounds apologetic for being ignorant and homophobic in the past. But also he’s not the type to shy away from saying a word just because it’s offensive. I can obviously understand why queer people don’t want to hear a straight person saying ***, but I really don’t think he’s being discriminatory or anything.

Slayn Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I really don't think he's homophobic but it doesn't make it ok. It also isn't outrageous that people are offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylizzle Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) As a transgender woman I am beyond happy with the song Kendrick's music isn't something you can look at on the surface level. His use of words is deliberate and meaningful. It doesn't surprise me a predominantly white forum wants to tear him down but looking forward to y'alls fumes when he breaks streaming records Edited May 13, 2022 by Kylizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 He shouldn’t use the word but it’s okay given the context of the song, he’s condemning his former ignorance. Still, repeating the word 3 times in a song doesn’t actually… do anything. Like, I don’t have pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nip Tuck Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Acknowledging your former ignorance in using the word by using the word I get that a rapper of his position making a pro-LGBT song / message is great… but like why say the slur? Bc ik damn well his straight fans gon feel real comfortable saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of you probably stan Cardi and her actual homophobe of a husband anyway.. 20 minutes ago, Mike91 said: A rapper on his level, making a pro-LGBTQ+ song, with the type audience he has, is kind of a big deal.

Denim Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I’m not gonna tell anyone to not to be offended, everyone has different sensitivities, but for me… I’m not offended. Especially given the context of the song’s lyrics and message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
