So, who is this fool?

I didnt watch ALL of the VMAs & i dont remember seeing him, I've never even heard of him until today & now I happen upon this. I'm not a fan of Perez Hilton. I think he's a shit starter but sometimes he has some great postings (like that naked picture of Shemar Moore from a few years back.... :fem:)

so here's this:
Tyler The Creator Responds To Criticism By LGBT Groups | PerezHilton.com

particularly disturbing was this:

Tyler The Creator said:
"Well, I have gay fans and they don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you…If you call me a n—a, I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a sh–."

"I’m not homophobic. I just think 'f***ot' hits and hurts people. It hits. And 'gay' just means you’re stupid. I don't know, we don’t think about it, we're just kids. We don’t think about that s**t. But I don't hate gay people. I don't want anyone to think I’m homophobic."

so again, I've never heard of this guy BUT i've heard/seen plenty of these kids today use "gay" verb or catch all putdown. & he's definitely right when he says kids today dont think about shit. evidently they can't articulate well either :rolleyes:

i'm not gay & yet I find it SO ANNOYING to hear ppl say "that's so gay"...seriously, wtf is that supposed to mean? :tomato: so if we substitute gay w/ "black" or "christian" or what not...then what? ppl will say whatever they want, as is their right. but by no means does that make it any less stupid or unfeeling. << smh>>

again i say the most aware statement he made in that rambling was "kids don't think about shit[these days]" :rolleyes2: & neither do the adults.

LMAO @ one of the responses to the post:

Michelle Bachman and her husband were caught sucking his cock back stage.

considering how vitriolic SHE is w/ her bigotry & homophobia, that just made me laugh to read that.
 
legit have had no clue this guy existed until he won a VMA and everyone hated him for it. These new rappers pop up like weeds. Its kind of sad how fast they appear and disappear
 
I fully admit to sometimes slipping and saying "that's gay", but i'm in no way shape or form homophobic. Complete opposite, I have many gay friends and fully support the gay community and gay rights. So I can see where he's coming from, but at the same time, I know that by saying "that's gay" it is making it a form of insult. Just like "that's retarded" or "he/she's retarded". You might not mean anything by it, but obviously it would be extremely insulting for someone who is mentally disable or is a family member or someone who is.

So I definitely make a conscious effort not to say it, however sometimes it just slips out of habit.
