Yeah, I walk around more confused than my aunt Linda's man-friend A black transgender Klan member (What?) Who's a Caitlyn Jenner fan and a (What?) Member of Grindr and Tinder Head empty as an empty abandoned a— (Yeah) 'Partment while I'm dancing a— 'Round all these names and labels that I can't memo— (What the fuck?) 'Rize, now my antennaes Are up on this PC shit, I'm finna Go out on my shield like Captain A— (What?) 'Merica, transcender:::

given what hes said for years about caitlyn jenner and pronouns, and the shit he says on antichrist im not gonna pretend this shit isnt just transphobic. these statements dont stop at a sexual preference. he is too uncomfortable about having preferred pronouns to wrap his head around it, and thinks queer people are the ones who are confused. the whole album makes fun of little people, mentally and physically handicapped people, and genuinely half the songs mention trans people. Rent free. Most milk toast right wing opinion, this isnt brave art, hes just a shitty dude.

if you took any of this seriously, you obviously didn’t understand the entire point of the album

[–] wrenchmonkey@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

when half the response to the album is people saying the transphobia is a w for him, i think you might be missing something.

Or maybe most people are missing the concept behind a concept album.

The idea behind Slim Shady is that he’s a shitty person. Like BoJack Horseman, or Rick Sanchez. They’re entertaining, and the content surrounding them is great. But the point of it is realizing that they’re horrible people.

The response of people saying his offensive remarks also missed the entire point, just like people who support the characters mentioned above

EDIT: also, if you think that quote you put in your response is meant in any level of seriousness, you’re deranged..

“Black transgender Klan member…” like, really? It’s ridiculous from the setup.

EDIT 2: you being pissed off is the entire point.

By all means, be pissed off. It’s entertaining to see people react in the expected way.

But just realize you’re upset at a character, rather than a person.

It’s like being pissed off that Cartman said some fuck shit and you blame it on the South par writers…. That is to say, fucking stupid

Agree or disagree, this response made me chuckle for a good minute. Props to that
