I mean of course this is offensive as hell, but also how can you be so stupid to think this is a good idea?? Like keep your bigotry more hidden ffs

Just goes to show how far removed she (and her whole team) are from the community. How did literally anybody think this was a good idea?

Her assistant for the past ten years is a lesbian. This is the woman who works most closely with her.

Katy has explained before that the shoe is named in tribute to her sister and comes in all kinds of colors and solids.

how the fuck does this get passed marketing people? marketing is half my job and honestly the first thing i always think when things are pitched to me at work is "is this racist or phobic to another group of people?"

Oh for fucks sake. I’m sure she’s trying to tie it in with the whole “sissy that walk” phrase but ......no. No no no you pitchy, zodiac-blaming, nun killing Idiot.

You're probably right. This is what happens when the world at large tries to co-opt gay slang

I mean, yes in that the word 'sissy' is from sister, but its use to mean 'an effeminate man' stretches back to the 1870s, and is probably taken from the more prevalent habit of calling people 'sister...' so-and-so in certain 19th century American communities (quaker, and others).
