If ya'll still don't understand why she uses the word, watch her Periscope about it
https://www.periscope.tv/w/1BRJjolQdRpxw
She doesn't care about the English language, social norms, What's acceptable to say PERIOD.
She wants to know why people aren't so angry when she says the N word, C word or "bitch" in her music, and tweets but go up in arms when she says the F word to a man (gay or straight) who she feels is misogynistic.

lol imagine if Iggy used the N-word to define say "ignorant people" and was using it against black people (or anyone) since she is reclaiming the word and has a different definition and is familiar with it since she grew up urban and has a black man or whatever and imagine if she had black fans defending her saying "she's clearly not racist."
Like, just imagine how silly it sounds.

Still not okay regardless of what her reason to use that word is.

Her deciding how ****** can be used, and when she can appropriately use it with gay men certainly isn't her place and will never be whether she's cool with the gays or not.
And is she reclaiming any other slurs? Or is the only slur she is deciding to reclaim is ****** when she's in an argument with gay men / men she thinks possess bitchy qualities? It's very transparent. |
Y'all can cry about it when you stop calling women bitches, ****s, and fish.
Tbh I really only care if her gay fans are offended by it since they love her so much and shouldn't be made to feel like she may think less of them bc they're gay. They seem to be fine and know she doesn't hate them though.

I get shes on this anti-white-gay trip and shes trying to focus on black issues as opposed to giving people passes just for being gay (which is total b/s imo but thats another issue entirely that it seems is an unpopular opinion to negate), but the term ****** is offensive with reason, whether or not it bothers you personally. At some point she kind of has to stop this stubborn charade, because thats really all it is. She word vomits and then justifies her obnoxiousness by making it political. Shes just seeing what she can get away with. She encapsulates our generation honestly; narcissistic, self righteous, brash, and cynical. Myself included btw.

i really hate that she uses that word but....call me delusional but i don't think she's a homophobe 
like she's stuck on her definition of the word and it has nothing to do with gay men.
but then it's like....girl....you see how it effects people, why do you keep saying it

This argument is a total cop out and completely ineffective. Its also ingenuine on her part, she acted like an asshole and has continuously tried to cover her trails by making it political and turning it around and making herself the victim. Its like a childs bratty strategy to get away with eating their dessert before dinner.

The thing is nobody says they're reclaiming "bitch" and "****". If I called you a hoe, and said I was reclaiming it, you'd clock me and say that's not for me to reclaim and decide when it can be used for women. It's the whole "I'm reclaiming it, so it's my RIGHT to use it and nothing homophobic is meant" shtick that's a mess.
Her gay fans are just following it because nothing is said to them. But remember what happen with that trans fan Nivea or w/e? She got angry at her, start mislabeling her as 'him' to purposely be transphobic and spiteful. Azealia knows what she's doing, which is why this whole dropping the f-bomb when she gets angry in an argument will never have any valid excuse to me.

Okay.
If we can decide how people should feel about certain words, then im going to start using the term n****r to refer to ignorant people. Im reclaiming a word that has nothing to do with me, but thats okay because im a gay latino man and have been oppressed since birth.

the thing is hun, Azealia isn't even offended by that word.
I'm defending her because she just doesn't care... She will use the word, bitch, ****, ******, ****** all she wants to, she won't stop because they offend people, They don't offend her.
She's even reassured us via Periscope, that she doesn't hate anyone if they are hetero or gay.

Exactly, the girl has a fanbase of 80% gay people, gay friends, is Bisexual...
She's explaining that she's not using the word in the way we've been taught!
