More Slurs, More Hate, More Defenders

Like many many many celebs before her, Azealia Banks has taken to twitter to express her hatred and contempt for gay men. I’m beginning to think it’s becoming an essential part of being a celebrity - become well know, start twitter account, start using f@ggot. I suppose it ensures the assault against our self-esteem and worth are truly unrelenting

According to Wikipedia, she identifies as bisexual and doesn't approve of society labelling people by their sexual orientation.

....Yeeeeeah, right. In other words, if it might impact her she doesn't approve, but she's just fine about doing it herself.

Yeah kind of ignores that other people like their labels and need them. Ultimately, it's also a slur that doesn't apply to her. She's added to my list of people whose work I will avoid

The question is, do we expect celebrities (and their fans too) to have a brain in the first place?

I dont think i expect people to any more - I expect them not to until they prove to me they do. Which is kind of sad
