Lizzo Faces Backlash Over “Ableist Slur” In New Single. Update: Lizzo Responds and Folds

    Lizzo being a 34 year old woman is inevitably going to slip up a few more times whether it’s language, public actions or whatever else.

    The next time she does or says some wild s*** the response probably won’t be one of “disappointment” and “desire to educate”

    This is going to be used as evidence that she’s not actually a good person, that she enjoys hurting people even though she put out a great apology. That stuff never matters.

    When she slips up again people are going to say s*** like “LMAO oh y’all remember she used an ableist slur right? This is nothing new.”

    That’s the type of audience she’s courted and it just isn’t sustainable. No one should be held to the ridiculous standards people place on celebrities that present as progressive. It’s ridiculous and honestly I want to call it abusive the way some of these motherfuckers act like they have some moral high ground.

    The responses to her apology have been patronizing as f*** too. Some of these people are genuinely just a******s who want to have any power over someone more powerful than them. Everything about this s*** is toxic

    u hit it right on the head, these people truly disgust me

    Stupid, Idiot(ic), Cretin, or Moron(ic): People say this to imply something, or someone isn't intelligent or worth their time, but the words refer to people with intellectual disabilities. Instead, say that a situation or person is frustrating, ignorant, dense, unpleasant, cheesy, or awful.

    Dumb: This word refers to a person who doesn't speak verbally, but people often use it to mean that something or someone isn't intelligent or wise. It's listed separately from stupid and its synonyms because it references a physical disability instead of an intellectual one. Try using any of the non-ableist synonyms like irritating or uncool.

    Crazy, Nuts, Mad, Psycho, or Insane: "Wow, that's crazy!" may not seem like a harmful statement, but if you think about someone with a mental health condition hearing that statement, it's easy to realize that it is. So instead of using one of those words, try outrageous, bananas, bizarre, amazing, intense, extreme, overwhelming, or wild.

    I’m honestly just over this outrage s***

    I don’t even like lizzo, never heard a single song from her, but literally who cares about her saying this

    Guess she has fans with actual health issues or disabilities that take offense to it

    Idk if they really do or twitter just being offended again

    a lot of people do this in bad faith and just want the pleasure of making a celeb grovel for forgiveness

    the real winners are the ones who just dont engage with it at all

    Obsessed: We're listing this separately from OCD because it's used differently and is one of the only ableist words meant as a compliment. People say "I'm so obsessed with X" to imply they like it, but it's ableist because it makes a joke about OCD. If you love something, you can say that you're enamored, absorbed, enchanted, charmed, or delighted by it.
