moc claiming racism when criticized for their misogyny is exactly the same as ww claiming misogyny when called out for their racism lol oh in fact I'm just gonna say it the men do this more often & with less backlash bc even so called socially conscious ppl don't take misogyny nearly as seriously as any other form of bigotry. look at this Tyler the creator shit the vast majority of ppl criticizing him said literally nothing about his race but he tried to make it a race thing & then went "you're gonna make the old me come out" wow yeah I can really tell you've changed! also him saying he's apologized for it when all he's ever done is make excuses. this man both in his lyrics AND OUTSIDE OF THEM threatened to rape actual women by name (Taylor & Selena specifically) along with saying more general shit about raping pregnant women and so on.
lol I mean can you fucking imagine if a white woman sang about lynching black men constantly & threatened harm to black celebrities by name then went "teehee I was just playing a character" as IF anyone would excuse that! they'd rightfully cancel her forever. but men get away with the slim shady excuse all the time even when it's very clearly just that, a thin excuse to harp on about sexual violence they definitely do want to commit.
#he's such a dumb fuck it's actually unreal#and SO MANY ppl were defending him#ppl were more mad abt taylors lyric abt wanting to live during the romantic period of literature without the racism & misogyny of the time#even though the literal next line was her calling herself silly for it. literally the backlash was worse for that than rape threats
