Quote:
Nothing tends to inflame the members of ATRL than race-related topics. So it came as no surprise that Onika Maraj’s debut of her lyric video for her song “Only” enraged many a social justice warrior on this site. Referencing the Nazi flag and Hitler’s distinct way of delivering speeches to his soldiers, Maraj, as she has often done to gain success, concocts a controversy.
Maraj’s fans were quick to defend her and come up with a rationale for Maraj’s exploitation of the deaths of millions of Jews and other victims in one of history’s most tragic chapters. Roman Holiday, a vehement fan of Maraj, said, "No one is gonna care after [Nicki’s apology], so whatever. It's just another road block."
Other Maraj fans focused more on the implications of her career, with one member who identifies him or herself as SneakerNerd, writing, "The Nicki haters are definitely rejoicing but the real kii is that this will have no effect [on her career] whatsoever."
Even others, such as said user Roman Holiday, took the time to lighten the mood by posting jokes. “I bet the dude who created this dumb lyric vid is super gassed up right now." mused Holiday.
Although moderators closed the thread in its 24th page, KareBear succinctly stated the obvious three pages before the end with this post: "Nicki messed up, she deserves criticism. So she better take it like a Woman and apologize/remove the video, that's it."
