I dont understand why a lot of rappers are homophobic and transphobic? will someone educate me? 

Sometimes religion is used as an excuse. Also some rappers (or people in general) think that it’s “sissy-like” to support the LGBTQA+ community. (They’re not confident in their own masculinity so they feel like they need to bring down a whole group to make themselves seem “more macho” or whatever). *sigh* Toxic masculinity.

I believe David and Amanda's responses, actually. The main focus of the image should be the giant head. When you look at the head it should feel like the center of the frame. In the Amanda version, your eye does feel attracted to the bottom left, right to her body, pulling focus away from what should be the automatic center.

What surprises me is that they didn't figure this out until after a final version was made.
