inuborg 4,135 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 She's been saying those same things about gay men for at least a year now. But its true, a lot of gay men, ESPECIALLY, gay men in the industry, thinks its okay to attack and belittle woman. And the public thinks its fine because he's being sassy and flamboyant. So they can't treat woman any type of way and then "hide behind the rainbow" when the woman lashes back.For example completely outside of Azealia, I was watching love and hip hop with my sister and this gay man started verbally attacking this woman and belittling her, and in the midst of the verbal argument the man, throws a drink her face. What MAN starts a petty argument with a woman and throws a drink in her face.And if your not one of the people who do the things she's talking about, then guess what, she's not talking to you. The sooner people who don't like Azealia, stop feeling the need to insert themselves in her conservations, the better off everyone will be. I root for you. I love you. You, you, you, you.

Knife 6,608 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I just know she's not as nasty as people paint her to be, she's actually quite nice and funny "Yea keep trolling for d*ck on grindr. You’ll be murdered and stuffed under a truck somewhere soon." "One day your hemmroids are going to burst and you’ll bleed to death b*tch." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I disagree with you, but I totally understand where you have your opinion from. She's spent well over a year (maybe two, hell, maybe even three at a push) supporting, encouraging and talking to her LGBT+ fans. That's a hard charade to uphold if you're heart is not in it. I understand why some people dislike or even hate AB, I'm not here to try and convert someone into liking her. I just know she's not as nasty as people paint her to be, she's actually quite nice and funny She's spent the last couple of years trying to explain why it is "alright" to call certain types or colors of gay men *******s. That's not support. She has a pattern of making racist and homohobic comments and it didnt just start with this latest rage fit she had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not support. She has a pattern of making racist and homohobic comments and it didnt just start with this latest rage fit she had. Highs and lows. She's tweeted sh*t that's been totally against who I am, whilst also tweeting a lot in support of me.Like I said, I'm not here to try and convert anyone into a fan or any form of agreeing with her... She's all over the place but the real AB is (or at least appears to be) against homophobia / racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if she is talking about me or not...what does that have to do with anything? If you aren't black, should you not care about police brutality against black people? Should you not tell your friend that you don't approve of using the word ******. if you are white, should you be okay with that word? If you arent gay, should you be okay with others using ******* or discrimnating against them in the workplace or at school? She is grouping all people of a certain minority together and hurling slurs and hate speech at them. It isnt acceptable for people to do this against black people or Jewish people or Latinos and it isnt accetable for AB to use this type of language and slurs against minorities either.

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The people who set her up with pop star expectations. She isn't your role model, she isn't your saint. She doesn't feel the need to pander to everyone and make sure she doesn't step on any toes. She's gonna say what she needs to say. She's a free b---h, baby EDUCAITLYNJENNER HA!

She's been all over the place as she's been suffering from her illness for years I disagree, just because she's made appearances and performances at events that don't benefit her but it's fine, we disagree. She's had problems with labels since starting out as she's always wanting to put music out for free, whilst every label she's been with has disagreed with the idea of doing it. Also, her fanbase is still going pretty strong. I haven't seen a single "stan stan" drop her because of her low/high moments because they're aware of her behaviour when she's manic or depressed.

Chic 20,830 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I don't think so. There would have to be few and far between moments of public clarity and distinctive difference between her extremism act if it in fact were. This act meshes too well with her overall personality when she isn't angry, and she doesn't showcase the intelligence to pull off this sort of thing when she would be in the "normal" stage if her attitude was an act. She's a creative genius, but there are certain nuances you'd be able to detect that would show it as an act. Typically a person making a statement like this would make it a point to have their normal persona be of a significantly higher moral and logical intellectual state, which she isn't. The contrast between her anger and normal self is quite little when you disregard the emotions. You don't really get the vibe that she's stable when she's happy either because of how often her mood fluctuates.I don't know if I'm making sense here, but I just feel like if she was making it a point to act crazy, deluded and angry, she would do so as a means of shocking the public following a period of high intelligence so as to show more of a contrast. Her "act" and true self are too interwoven and gelled together that it would be pointless to pretend with this sort of thing. I'd see if she was on one hand legitimately insane to the point of erratic physical behavior like Amanda Bynes, or if she started making really odd, unconventional, crazily unlistenable music to further instill the distortion of her image to the public as a means of controversy or gauging public response better, but not really otherwise.She's just Azealia Banks. Too crazy to believe, too talented to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's all over the place because she has a personality disorder...probably a couple. She can definitely have bipolar disorder with personality disorders. Her fanbase is dwindling, it is evident even on here over the past year and with this last rant. It doesn't matter anyhow, except that it points to a general problem. There will always be those who support certain people through bad behaviors. (Look at Chris Brown's fanbase.) The support and excuses don't really help these people in the long run. It really is like being an enabler...like a person who gives a d--g addict d--gs and makes excuses for them. As long as Azealia has enough people to support her bad behavior, she won't hit rock bottom, so I doubt she will really get the help she needs. A pill ffor Manic Depression isn't going to fix things for AB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's evident she'll never be "huge" as her music is aimed primarily at the LGBT+ community due to the sound and references she makes whilst also upsetting some of the members of that community. I'll still stan for her, despite her rants because she's given me more jams and support than a majority of current artists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!!!I don't agree with gay guys being misogynistic, but I also don't agree with Azealia Banks targeting the s-xuality of the guys doing these things. Despite Azealia's intentions, calling people "f*ggots" will affect more people than the specific type of gay guy she's targeting. You can't just hurl slurs at people and expect everyone that slur affects to understand your intentions behind what you're doing. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
