same people that call cigarettes f a gs btw
Gamers
One of the lamest demographics of people
Recovering gamer, must say I agree
Luckily these people don’t leave their basements so they’re rarely actually a problem irl. Just loud online
Which actually is a problem now that I think about it because this type of s*** just comes off as a caricature of progressive values which just gives right wingers more ammunition to appeal to people since 90% of the population agrees s*** like this is dumb as f***
they post this s*** on libsoftiktok and then ppl say "look at how crazy the left is!!" im gradually losing my sanity every time i see something like this happen
The first kinda makes sense
The right approach
Something ktt should do…READ!
Actually though. physical books better for ur eyes
to be real i hope all artists start saying worse s*** in their songs again cause people need to stfu about this s***

I'm sorry but these people that get mad over things like this need to be gathered and dumped at the bottom of a trench

bad faith arguments tbh
They are not wrong, so stop crying in this thread. I personally don't really care but it's a fact that it's a slur. US fellas think they are the decision makers when it comes to deciding which slurs are allowed to be used and which aren't. A slur is a slur. Period.
On Friday, Lizzo shared a new single called “Grrrls,” a fairly anodyne solidarity song that uses the xylophone riff from the Beastie Boys’ Licensed To Ill oldie “Girls.” But one line from the song has been attracting negative attention, especially in the UK.
There’s been some social-media outrage over Lizzo using the term “sp*z” on “Grrrls.” On the track, Lizzo says, “Hold my bag, b****, hold my bag / Do you see this s***? I’ma sp*z.” Some social-media users, calling that term an “ableist slur” about people with cerebral palsy, have been asking Lizzo to remove the word from the song. Especially in the UK, “sp*z” and “spastic” have long been used as playground insults. Certain Twitter users believe the Lizzo, someone with a large international audience, should’ve known about this.
Although Lizzo has yet to acknowledge the criticisms, Diviney is hopeful she will respond with sensitivity.
"I feel like it would be pretty easy to go in and rework the song," she says. "Maybe throw in a different phrase, or communicate the context of what she's trying to say, in a less offensive way."
This is what many people would like to hear. Fans across social media are clamouring for Lizzo to re-upload Grrrls to streaming sites like Spotify and YouTube with new lyrics.
"Please remove the s-word from your song," posted actress Abigail Lea on Tik Tok. "Re-record it and apologise," added Sinead Reid on Twitter. "It's the only option here."
It's certainly possible. Lady Gaga erased and replaced R Kelly from her duet Do What U Want since his s***trafficking crimes came to light; while Michael Jackson re-recorded his single They Don't Care About Us to remove an anti-Jewish slur word.
But Hills says Lizzo might not be able to undo the damage her song has already caused.
"I've seen it all over Tik Tok. I've seen kids dancing to it, which for me is the biggest problem because she's got this status with teenagers who don't know the word, and don't know the associations it has.
"So when they hear it on Tik Tok, they're going to dance around, screaming at the top of their lungs and that is a problem because they are the next generation."

she wasn't even Saying it like that, she was saying that someone needs to hold her purse bc she's gonna "spaz" on the song, meaning deliver a hard verse. smh the yts need to quit trying to get outraged over black art
I have never felt so out of touch, I don’t use the word but I never realized it was a slur?
