Okay, just because he's the biggest idiot in Hollywood right now, doesn't mean he should die. I think a dedicated shunning, or perhaps a boycot of his ignorant, narcissistic ass is in order.
True... However, in the current state of things, that will never get the message across. If "we" fill the Internet with enough Bieber hating vitrol, eventually even the most sheltered and naive parent will find it and wonder why a significant portion of the Internet is railing against him.
With some luck, they will then find #cut4bieber and there will be a Bieber bonfire in the backyard.
No one is associating it with gays anymore you're stuck in the past. People are using it as it's more progressive definition of a douche who's douchiness has surpassed that of the average douche and has become a faggot.
Excuse me? When I walk hand in hand with my boyfriend and people shout "faggots!" I'm pretty sure they don't mean douche. When the Westboro Baptist "church" says God hates fags, I'm quite certain they don't mean douchebags. On what planet does the word faggot not mean gay, anymore? What if someone used the n-word and said "Oh, it doesn't mean a black person, anymore." ?
I agree with the sentiment, absolutely - but - the more that people appropriate words like faggot to use as a generic insult, the less power it has as a specifically homophobic one. One consequence of convincing people not to say faggot because it's homophobic is to galvanise it as an insult for homophobes to use.
I think that we deny hate-language of its power by diluting it, not by trying to confine it.
People say nigga constantly and say it doesn't mean black person anymore. I don't use it but almost every person around my age at work or that I socialize with use it wether they're black or not. And I've never seen the black ones take offense to it. Same goes with faggot I've never had any issue with another person over it. Using gay in a derogatory sense is a different story though I don't think people should do that and I have seen people be offended by it, gay or otherwise.
Hi, I am a homosexual, please stop using the word faggot. You may think that it doesn't hurt, but every time I hear or see this word I feel like a small part of myself dies. :) Have a wonderful day!
i honestly don't know what is going on with Justin, but I'm sure he's still the little boy that helped so many people. maybe this is just a phase, he is growing up in the industry since he is 15, and it must be horrible to be called names like faggot everyday of his life. oh and please don't go around saying justin bieber should die and stuff like that. Could you imagine the pain that would cause to his mother? Saying this because my mom lost her son and I lost my brother. Really, grown ass mans calling a 19 year old names and hating him? That's horrible fgs.
Guest we understand your point and I'm sorry with what happened to your brother.... but justin is giving giant reasons to hate on him. I agree that telling him he should kill himself is a little too mean.... But he's just provocative with his whole behaviour. He just wants attention (like miley) but they both, justin and miley, are doing it the wrong way.
Personally, I think Miley is behaving better than Justin, or at least not as bad. She may be acting like a "Slut" to some people, but at least she's not being disrespectful like a certain 20 year old has been.
