Yahoo says not to buy Eminem's album because he is homophobi

[kkaniff]

Not superior treatment, just to be treated same, and have equal rights and privileges as anyone else.
I think thats fair.
I dont particularly GAF one way or another though, more chicks for me.

[Kez]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone associated with his management or his promotion commissioned this guy to write this article so Em could try and replicate the controversy from 2000.

[Trey]

And I don't have a problem at all with them getting equal treatment, but other (straight) people fight more about it than the actual faggots do. They act like we should feel sorry for them for being gay and they shouldn't be teased. But it's okay for it to happen to other mentally challenged people.

^ It does get rather annoying, doesn't it. And L-oh-fuckin'-L at them pointing to Macklemore as this paragon of broadmindedness and progressive thought.

[SpiderDiaze]

Just because Rap God is doing so well and is selling millions, some people just want to criticize and nit pick at the track to try and cause "controversy". Everyone even gays have said faggot at some time in their life, just look at the YouTube comments you are bound to see a "homo", "fag", "faggot" comment in the comments section so why are they just hitting out on Em? If people actually bothered to listen to his lyrics no point in the lyrics does it sound "homophobic" or is he stating he hates homosexuals so what the fuck they talking about? They probably haven't had their weekly cock up their brown eyes and are taking it out on Em which is pathetic.

[Kez]

Kez, what are your thoughts on the song?

Sad to see that he still insists on going at these ridiculous speeds. It's impressive, for sure, but I shouldn't have to go look up a page of lyrics in order to know what the fuck he's saying. It's still a good track, I just wish he'd stop with the constant, obnoxious changes of pace in every single fuckin' song. Aside from that, it's incredible. It just irks me. Maybe i'm alone in that.

But still gonna check the album.

Oh, and also, those of you in this thread who are content to just sit here and giggle and be like "lol I don't care fuck gay guys anyway heuheuehe" i'd say maybe about 10% of you are mature enough to actually know what you're talking about. Being that ignorant is just perpetuating a stereotype.

Lol, no doubt.

[Trey]

Point proven. Good day indeed.

I have no idea what everybody's deal here in 2013 is with gays and lesbians. All of a sudden they're supposed to get superior treatment because they have a mental problem? Murderers, child molesters, and serial killers have mental problems, so lets all treat them like they're little school kids who can't help how they act. Look, if you want a dick in your ass and you're a man so be it... but don't get mad because people fuck with you about it. I mean, afterall, you get dicks up your ass.

Suddenly, I just understood why Eminem fans are often looked upon by society with great negativity. It's because of mind-blowing idiocy and sheer hatred like this, which reflects terribly on those of us who simply enjoy following the art and career of a talented rapper but aren't bigoted neanderthals constantly stealing the Earth's oxygen. Those who aren't well informed about Eminem's music see his fans make disgusting comments such as this and automatically make a correlation between your intolerance and his controversial lyrics. In making statements such as this on an Eminem fan forum, you make not only yourself look bad, but Eminem, his fanbase, and hip-hop fans in general. The media has the wrong idea about Eminem's edgy lyrics because they see that some folks such as yourself actually buy into the homophobic statements and cannot make a distinction between satire and reality. You are dragging us down to the level of Juggalos. I am not interested in starting an argument, so it would be pointless of you to reply, but I now know to avoid reading anything you post from now on because I know it will have no value whatsoever. It is you are the faggot and the one with the "mental problem" here and it would be in everyone's interest if you decided to stop wasting our planet's valuable resources. Good day.

Trey actually has a point.

[kkaniff]

^ That's the second epistle/rant you've written today, going all in a huff about what somebody said. Over-reacting, in fact.
He thinks homosexuality is a mental disease and doesn't understand why people are being overly sensitive about gay rights.
You call him a neandertal, claim he's mind blowingly idiotic and suggest he stop wasting earth's resources, i.e die.
Oh the motherfuckin' irony.
You are every bit as intolerant as he is.

I've heard a lot of butthurt folks complain about Rap God, some for different reasons. He'd better make fun of Sandy Hook or something, to get the rest of the teenybopper fans away. I cannot wait to see what he does.

[Trey]

What so Em can make fun of parkinson's disease but if someone likes to fuck dudes then they are immune to jokes?

Exactly my point! He picks on Michael J Fox, Christopher Reeves, etc. but you don't see Parkinson's disease activists and paralysis activists going ape shit crazy over it. It is what it is. I agree some of it is in poor tastes but fuck, don't listen to the man if it offends you that bad. Activists bitching about it won't keep his fans from listening and enjoying it.

[flagga]

Em is truly causing a similar shit-storm to the one he created in 2000 judging by the arguments here and the articles cropping up like this

"Gay rights charity attacks Eminem over 'deeply offensive' lyrics in his new song, Rap God"
Article can be found on the Independent's website (I don't have permission to post links yet)

Reading the comments section and the way people are reacting... Dude is a pro at getting attention whenever he feels like it

By the way, pretty sure he said 'faggot' quite a few times on both Relapse and Recovery and no one batted an eyelid (Elevator springs to mind) - what the deal now? Why are people going crazy?

Love the sig, Trayzy

Thank ya. I made it at work today

The weird thing is that he also had homophobic and other offensive lyrics on Relapse and Recovery, but I didn't recall controversy about them.
