Truth is noone should use those words as an insult - STARTING BY US THE GAY COMMUNITY.
I think that was RyanPitmann's original point...

Yes Eminem is wrong to use that word, but you know what? I hear the word D!ke thrown at my fave here in order to drag her as if it's an insult everyday. Is that better? Coz yall laugh when that happens, or is it ok to use the word dike? but not the word ***?
Before passing judgement we should work on ourselves

You're absolutely right. No one, not even us, should use that word. Most of those who call P!nk a **** are in this thread pretending to be offended by Eminem's lyrics, playing victim, as usual.

Context matters. There's a difference between saying something on a forum and on a song.

and yet my point still stands - we can ask others to respect us and not use those words as insults when we stop doing the same

The thing is, the gay community doesn't use it as an insult. Just like the N-word isn't an insult when used by a black person.

But, then why are you defending Eminem's use of f****t? The Kindergarten-esque justification of "Well, the gays say it so Eminem can say it too" is not a sufficient justification.

It shouldn't be used by no one. If we call ourselves like that, we are allowing people to call us however they'd like.

some do. Just like "femme". The more "masculine" ones feel superior.

It's just irritating that you think we're progressing and here he comes with his same ****. I used to be a fan til I realized all his homophobic messages. And it's sad because my little brother idolizes him.

and again it's ok to do it on ATRL?
I mean i can bring reciepts for the use of the word dike in order to insult. (i don't wanna bring P!nk into this really - but i think it's quite hypocritical of some of you)
ATRL being on internet doesn't justify the use of that word - just as Eminem is not justified using the word *** in a song.

I wasn't defending him. It's not right what he did, but when I read the lyrics I knew what he was doing, or at least tried to have an idea. Eminem always does this kind of stuff to get people bothered, and he always gets it, hence why this thread was created. I was stating it's just an Eminem's song, he has used the f word before and suddenly people get offended. I'm not justifying, I am just saying I am not offended.

people calling p!nk or anyone else a **** are ignorant. P!nk is amazing and who gives a **** if she were a lesbian. Get em!

It's okay to use it on ATRL, but it's not okay when it's an Eminem song. The hypocrisy.

Wether gays use the word or not won't affect the use of the word by straight people. The gays might as well parody the word. I mean, if it makes them happy. It kinda takes the pain away. It's a psychological thing.

The dike thing is a bad and homophobic thing though. Those who use it on here (a minority) have no right to call Eminem homophobic.

Some of them are/were on this thread playing victim and calling Eminem homophobic.
