You don't have to put that in quotation, that is his actual name.
Isn't it the same deal with 4 tho
Like I said a few pages ago...
Soon
I can't.
You have received pushback for precisely two things you've decided to shade:
1) Race (Beyonce's skin; your arguments that she bleaches)
2) Sexuality (Frank's bisexuality)
And I think that if you were not so relentless and one-note about those things, it wouldn't come across the same way. It would also help if you were actually recognizably tongue-in-cheek about it instead of coming across as so apparently serious.
First, let me correct everyone on this. When shading Beyonce about her bleaching, it has nothing to do with her race. It only became about race when certain people began putting those thoughts out there, which in turn made me question her affinity with looking pale.
Now whether or not Beyonce actually bleaches is one thing, but to deny that her image has shifted from the darker tanned skin she started her career with, to the borderline albino (excuse the hyperbole) color she is now is just ridiculous. This isn't an isolated accusation, nor is it lacking in evidence.
As for Frank Ocean's sexuality; His "coming out" was suspiciously unveiled right before his album released, and was quickly supported by a certain artist. A lot of people believed this was a ploy to build interest, and hype around him. This is why I drag in that particular sense, but not specifically because he is bisexual. The draggings aren't even specifically directed at his sexuality, and are often about how terrible his album is. Frank Ocean's songs are mostly about love, and sex... which I simply connect to his sexuality. The same occurs with Taylor, Xtina, Adele, and any other artist who has music with the same themes.
No, but when
one does it vituperatively and incessantly, one begins to wonder.
Dragging Mariah for her weight is possibly the only way to really shade her. They can't really talk about her music, talent, or sales... so it should come as no surprise that the limited selections are used frequently.
I liked Soulscribe's post, but he is not quite right that this is an all-or-nothing affair. In actuality this is done on a case-by-case basis, and some things are going to have a longer leash; that's just the reality of things. Speaking candidly, I don't have a problem with the level of political incorrectness in general; people generally just pull back before it gets to that point. And this is from the perspective of moderation and from the perspective of when people are going to give you shit - and for what it's worth, people are going to give you shit for stuff a lot sooner than I'm going to moderate for anything.
But yes, the Britney stans - and
Cynosure - are always doing the most when it comes to this stuff.
I do believe there is a balance too. I wouldn't make fun of Rihanna's domestic violence stuff, nor would I joke about your faves being diseased
.
and...
Cynosure is flawless, I don't know what you are talking about.
