blaggot

she should've left the word ****** out of her argument but she's right about the core issue she was addressing

the way y'all are up here crying and bitching about her using a slur, when most of y'all say some of the most disgusting and vile **** about these female musicians

a mess

Rogue

Did Perez respond?

Haburo

How does she have fans

Beatz

I don't understand how this nobody has so many stans on ATRL that praise her no matter what, that thing Azaealia is the clear example of horrible role model for young black people, rude, offensive, problematic behavior, wtf.

She never uses it in a homophobic sense though.

So a white person can say the n-word as long as it's not in a racist sense?

I wasnt really offended by this, what she said is true besides the fword.

Javan

Not being funny but I do get the feeling that most of y'all are pretending to be hurt by her comments.

Yes, *****. Yall give words too much power, it's the meaning/intention behind them that matters.

So true

90% of the people in here have said something deeply misogynistic and FAR more offensive than this and I can guarantee that. Everyone wants to cry when it pertains to them!

The funny thing is that the ones on here who say that **** and support her twitter beefs/rants are the same catty gays that she thinks make up the community.

Her whole response/rant is problematic. Her ignorance doesn't help the cause. She's segregating people further by perpetuating stereotypes and fighting hate with hate. And her going off on Iggy for no reason isn't funny. Who gives a sh*t if she's white and "acts black."

Sorry, but I don't see this rant as "homophobic". Insensitive, maybe, but she is NOT homophobic

She's a queer female with tons of gay fans and loves them. Calling her homophobic is dumb.

Tbh. She's just as homophobic as Britney Spears at heart.

Azealia always makes some valid points - She just has absolutely no concept of filter.

Anyway, to those calling out her fans - We know Azealia isn't homophobic. Anyone who's ever listened to her discography would know about the obvious underground gay-influences in her music. She has a polarizing way of thinking & expressing her ideas, yes. But at it's core, it aims to tackle a higher issue. Even if she were, I don't care what somebody thinks of what I do in bed, it doesn't take away their artistry & I'm never really ever going to need to worry about their ideals in my own life.

She's right about the misogyny - Isn't it funny how you all sit here all day & tear these woman in the industry to shreds, analyse & dissect their every move & thirst over the slightest hint of skin shed by Nick Jonas, a straight man - But soon as the tables are turned & somebody who has been a VICTIM of this behaviour calls you out for your truth - As soon as you get a dose of your own poison - You want to be offended & feel victimized. It's so transparent.

As for her use of the "F" word, maybe it's because most of you are still in school - But who honestly cares? If this word still has any sway or negative influence on you after high-school, you need to re-evaluate yourself. Words change meaning constantly - What matters is intent & the meaning we ALLOW them to have. Perez deserves to be called a lot worse.

And I think it's time for bed, AB.

Just these two pieces that are bolded only demonstrate that you continue to be a part of the problem. You simply can't re-write history or take away a word's cultural significance or connotation. Azealia admitted this afternoon that she uses the F word to offend and make Perez mad. She allowed it to be a slur. She is NOT leading by example.

Everything else is spot on.

You're severely misinformed. F****** today is what the word "Queer" was in the early 1900s. Words can change. People like you try to keep their meaning frozen.

I know you wont read it but try looking at the history of the word "Queer" (I know you wont read it since it's two lengthy parts and you'd rather shade others online

)

Yes, everyone here has female pop stars that they hate, but I doubt many of them hate those stars BECAUSE they are female. They hate them for other reasons, such as lack of sales, percieved lack of talent, etc. which is NOT misogyny. The fact that they are female is beside the point.

I'm disgusted by the people supporting her. I really like BWET but after this i just cant listen to it in the same way.

Edit: im talking about the whole rant not just her homophobic tweets btw.

?

The fact she's supposedly bisexual, appreciates her gay male fans and has gay influences in her music doesn't contradict that she's homophobic. There's a clear difference between a bisexual woman and a gay man. Moreover, "appreciating" that gay people buy your music and support you doesn't prevent one from being homophobic (see Donna Summer) and there are plenty of people who take interest in culture of other groups and are still bigoted (see all those white tourists in Southeast Asia).

She clearly has issues with gay men. Ever since Rose McGowan talked about misogynistic attitudes among men, she's hijacked that opinion to rationalize her use of that word.
