Woosh
As someone not affected by this, I am curious. Are gay people offended by this song? My guess was no because the lyrics are making fun of the people who called them that, but now I am uncertain.
I think the fact that the radio edit cuts out that verse answers your question.
By that logic black people cringe in pain listening to every other hip hop release for including that word. Which I also doubt.
Point being, radio stations censoring themselves preemptively because someone, somewhere, might take offense isn’t a good indicator of how the affected people actually feel about it.
Perhaps you can test this for yourself?
Wait outside your nearest gay bar and call anyone that walks out a removed?
That’s not what the song it doing. It’s more.like waiting outside a gay bar and telling everyone “guess what that asshole over there just called me?”
