ok

Right?  the song has been out for over nine years and they want to all of a sudden have this faux outrage when that man’s story was very well known at the time of its release  ATRL is something else.

[PopKills]

No it’s a smart line 

[Jooj]

The way we have rapists and rapists supporters scoring hits nowadays and this is what people choose to be offended about 

[halcyonday]

The fake outrage.

[Digitalism]

You clearly don't listen to rap if you think this is bad

Also blaming katy on this 

You have pop girls working with several rapists ans marrying pdfiles and this is what you pick on?

[DanceFreak]

Yes, I think she should get the electric horse 

[Danny789]

Why we knew who he was back then?

[BlackoutZone]

Yes and so was Kesha

[Daddy]

It's a perfectly fine pop culture reference plus Katy probably had zero artistic control over her content.

[OmegaRidley]

It’s a pop culture thing so no not really 

[XxxKatyCatxxX]

Ah, yes, Katy - the only singer in the history of music that put names of killers in the lyrics...

 

[Bussea]

who gives a slimy ****

[Vespertine]

I'm not personally offended by it (and funny how people in this thread have to immediately jump to "offended!! snowflakes!!!!" ), but I've always thought it was quite tasteless. Personally I think things like that don't need to enter the pop culture lexicon while immediate family members of the victims are still alive. Imagine hearing that on the radio  

 

I've always felt the same way about the Challenger explosion audio in XO. 

 

You could probably write lyrics with the same effect using, just for example, Jack the Ripper and the Titanic as historical references. No one who was affected then will hear it now.

another stupid thread on ATRL,    get a job

Right? Like where did I imply I'm personally offended by the line  

[Zeferino]

Personally I prefer “Cannibal” 

 

Be too sweet, and you'll be a goner
(Yeah) I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer

[Taylucifer]

was gagged when i first heard it 

 

also with Kesha name dropping him in Cannibal 

[Iceland]

We need Dark Horse Solo Version!

OK, sorry to hear this Juicy J line on a Katy Perry song offended you. Moving on!

[Squall]

It's funny because tons of artists, including Kesha, Eminem or Mac Miller, made a Dahmer reference in one of their songs but yet, here you are, blaming Katy specifically for a rapper name-dropping him in his own verse  

[monstereo]

Yes we need to cancel Katy

[fridayteenage]

no

[Europe]

I read this thread and right after that came accross this picture
