austincola 805 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The Weeknd is currently under fire by a few Social Justice Warriors on Twitter, for his latest song “Lost in the Fire”. Within the song there’s a very raunchy paragraph of lyrics where he says a woman is “trying out” girls because she’s sick of men, and that she should bring a friend over to sit on her face, while he “fvcks her straight”. They’re acussing him of being homophobic and fetishizing lesbians.. My opinion on this is, if The Weeknd believes lesbians can be turned straight, is he suggesting that he can be turned gay? Because if so, COME HERE BOY!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

misunderstood 8,736 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nah just a reach, also stop expect any artist to care about your feelings. That's not the point of all art "I'd rather be poor and happy, than rich and alone" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haldy 1,255 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Homophobic, maybe. Ignorant, definitely. Its cringe, in any case and the whole 'lesbians are women who hate men, but just need a real man like me' thing is such a shitty straight-man fantasy and needs to go.

Miel 15,009 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That's not the far of a reach, tbh. Although it's way too common. Straight guys thinking they can f*ck a woman straight is honestly pretty horrifying, and is causal to a lot of ugly **** towards Queer woman. Most notably, rape. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Like... I used to have a girl a day (Girl a day) But I want you to stay (I want you to stay, hey)You said you might be into girls (Into girls) Said you're going through a phase (Through a phase) Well, baby, you can bring a friend (Bring a friend) She can ride on top your face (Top your face) While I **** you straight (While I **** you straight, yeah) That is not even a stretch, he's just... explicitly propagating that notion of "straightening out" bisexuality/bicuriosity. This isn't some over-the-top SJW argument. Like, this is pretty ugly. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,611 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 "trying out' girls is not the same thing as being a lesbian. Heteroflexibles and bisexuals exist. The SJWs need to stop acting like every girl who ever kissed a girl is a full on lesbian. The song isn't about turning a gay woman straight, it's about manipulating your bi-curious girlfriend into having a 3 way for your pleasure. That is still tired and and problematic, but it has nothing to do with lesbians.

Andreu 37,216 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well I am disappointed because these kind of super sexual lyrics that were almost rude were what threw me off his music, and it seemed that My Dear Melancholy was the beggining of a change and this song goes back to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 104,691 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 No, he's saying she's experimenting with girls to "keep her heart safe" - that implies she's being bicurious out of the need to not be hurt by a guy Then he basically says she can bring a friend and he'll "**** her straight" - implying she'll come back to him and she won't have to experiment anymore cause he won't hurt her again. He's not saying he's gonna convert a lesbian straight. Are the lyrics borderline controversial? Yes. But the context is pretty clear to anyone with common sense.
