Well, the song was made a bit ago when the word was less problematic, Cher made a song called Gypsy's, Tramps, and Thieves, and I doubt they would cancel her for it

the word was already offensive to anyone who would find it offensive when the song came out

I think about this often, in fact, there are several GGD members who are against the use of the word. Personally I think we might look back at songs like Fleetwood Mac's Gypsy, and Gaga's, etc. and cringe one day... even though I love those songs now and I even dressed up as a gypsy (read: Esmeralda from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) for Halloween as a kid... :awkney:

Also don’t give Perez or Trump supporters any ideas because no doubt they will take offence to Swine one day.

Good thing it wasn't a single :awkney:

 

I don't think she'd remove yet another song tho

 

That entire album is just becoming a bigger and bigger mess by the year :rip:

Even if it's offensive in Romania, as long as it's not offensive in Azerbaijan Gaga won't see a problem with it.

There are not even that many gipsies in Romania to get offended and beside this, they have a lot more problems in their life especially with discrimination in this country to simply get offended at Gaga because she has gypsy as one of her song titles, they'll actually be kinda happy if they knew this here lol

I...doubt anything will come of it.

 

I have only heard some people complaining about the word online only. I have NEVER encountered anyone in the 'real world' who has said anything about a negative connotation. I doubt Gaga will get any kind of flack from it, really.

So G*psy has started to become a derogatory term towards Romani people. A lot more people are starting to realize its not a great thing to say, P!nk even talked about it when she was in a recent Ellen interview and how she had found out that word can be offensive. Do you think that people in a couple years could look at Gaga's song and consider it to be offensive? I know that Gaga was not trying to offend anyone obviously but I've already seen some people on Instagram talking about how that song is offensive. What do you all think?

I always thought it was derogatory :selena: they don't like being called that and never have when I was kid maybe like 8 and stupid I got actually beat up for using it... Never used it since :shrug:

I'm the bitch that's fragile

not really, no... it's a relatively unknown song and at the time the word wasn't that controversial or offensive... in worst case scenario, Gaga will have to avoid performing it again

Only fans and OGH talk about this kind of stuff. I haven't even met anyone in person that even knows what ARTPOP is
