SKANK 14,288 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 2 hours ago, Zilla said: Will no longer be purchasing Cover Girl cosmetics because their tweets make it seem okay that this was said. Even if he's 17, to say those things when he already had a platform was extra. Bad judgement shouldn't be rewarded, only punished. You are going to boycott Cover Girl products because you don't feel they condemned strongly enough a joke that one of their spokes model's made when he was seventeen. (Side note: the butt of the joke is obviously not Africans, but his dumb friend who didn't understand the difference between E.coli and Ebola.) Yet you have no issue being a moderator on a fan forum dedicated to an adult who used her position of power to raise the public profile of Terry Richardson and R. Kelly? You will boycott Cover Girl over an ignorant joke made by a kid, but have no problem spending money on Lady Gaga products in spite of the fact that she put on her payroll a man who was accused by numerous women of the exact same predatory sexual relationship that so scarred her? You are more offended by a lackluster apology for a kid's joke, then you are by Lady Gaga making a profit from an anti-rape anthem directly after lining the pockets of two rapists with money? That is weird to me. He apologized. The company disavowed the joke. Why is that not enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think it's fair to acknowledge that they still have much time to grow up and learn from their mistakes, intentionally ignorant or not. That said, I'm so tired. I get that they're kids and making dumb kids jokes- I was, too- but I'm tired. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've never liked this kid, but people are really blowing this out of proportion. First of all, I read the entire article and no where does it say that he said he thinks "all Africa has is Ebola". So the article starts off with a lie right in the headline. Then the article goes on to generalize "all white gays" and the author claims they will never trust them. How is that not offensive and homophobic? "I will always be cautious of white gays; many of them aren’t that progressive. They lack intersectionality. " This right here is way more offensive than anything in that tweet he wrote.

Honestly, adding to the passive agressive attitude of this forum is way more "toxic" than pointing out inconsistencies.
