*sigh* Derail.

I am legit embarrassed for these white ladies right now. This is why Jez is such a damn joke to women of color (and queer ladies as well).

It seems like all you're hearing is "Ike Turner reference in a song about love" when, again, the situation is more complex than that. Do you honestly think that after all the care that went into this album regarding women empowerment they'd let such an obvious reference to domestic violence slip through the cracks?

You don't have to like it, but your language reeks of policing women...especially black women's sexuality. Reducing what she's doing as "selling sex" is condescending and flippant. There's more going on here.

I honestly don't think it's being referenced the way you think it is. The album is widely pretty feminist and pro-woman, why would they suddenly be okay with condoning violence against women? Let's not forget that Jay was a supporter of Rihanna and very anti-Chris Brown. It doesn't make sense that they'd be so…

Preach.

I highly doubt that two educated, (arguably the biggest) black entertainers in the industry are unaware of the implications of that line. I don't think it's being played for laughs.

Telling other women what they should and shouldn't do with their bodies is the Feminist way! Bodiez aren't art. Especially naked ones!

~Looks at comments~ Oh look, it's White Feminists (tm) telling another successful black female popstar that she's "doing it wrong".

You all clearly don't hang out in Black Twitter.

Yay, feminism!

Why are you arguing a point that everyone in this thread agrees with you on? They're literally talking about one character and her representation in Star Wars toys and how *that's* being misrepresented in the article.

I hope you're a guy.

He identifies as a "lady-like boy". He's very informal about it. He's just "doing him". Full disclosure, I'm a friend of a cast member.

You think being called "cis" is a bullying slur? You've referred to people as leaches and bigots (EEEYE-RONY).

What are you going to do, kick their ass?

Wow. Just say you don't give a shit about anyone who is not you. Seriously, its easier than trying to "explain" yourself in a dozen or so posts.

Yeah, fuck him for selling out! He could be poor and couch surfing like 99% of the (very talented, non-selling out) musicians I know!

Racist slur? Okay. That didn't happen anywhere in this thread.
