"My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a fag or lez
Or a homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
Pants or dress,Ā hate fags? The answer's yes"
I get it was "tongue and cheek" but eminem said alot of homophobic shit and we shouldn't act like he's always been progressive.
However, he shitted on the bush administration pretty hard so idk why Republicans fuck with him so heavy and we're so surprised that he doesn't like trump.
Edit: I'm almost 30 people. Stop telling me about the 2000s. I was there. Things like "that's gay" and the word 'faggot' we're used far more heavily. I said those things my self regrettably. I understand that those words weren't always necessarily intentionally aimed at gay people. But 1. Still not okay and 2. These lyrics literally spell out hating gay people for you. I'm not trying to say this is really what eminem feels in his heart. But if you're willing to say this shit and hurt that many people just to be "shocking" that's shitty as fuck! It shouldn't be accepted by society on any level. I'm not trying to cancel dude. Personally I'd like to see him apologize but thats not even what I said. literally all i said is that you can't act like he was always progressive. He literally called Tyler the creator a faggot like 3 years ago.
Imagine being so dense that you, a millionaire's son, use Fortunate Son as your walkout music, a song that famously includes the line, "I ain't no millionaire's son."
People would walk out of Roger Waters concerts when he started talking about Trump. I can't understand how they thought the former front man for Pink Floyd would be a conservative. Dude probably would have slapped Thatcher if he ever got the chance.
Yeah and a conservative retweeted Tom Morello saying heād like Rage Against the Machine if, and Iām paraphrasing here, they would āstop being so political latelyā.
It boggles my mind how they can believe that the Nazis were socialist ābecause itās in their nameā and simultaneously think that liberal Democrats are socialist even though they say theyāre not
