“no omg shut up she’s not a violent Bigot she’s mentally ill she’s the real victim here” - like 80% of the people on Jez

Also a pretty insulting thing? Threatening to cut someone with glass! But no as always it’s the big bad white man who’s the villain right? AZALEA BANKS IS NOT YOUR MARTYR SHES A VIOLENT RACIST YOU GODDAMN HYPOCRITS

Crowd did the spitting, Banks was threatening a girl. There’s no excuse for her actions Jezebel, there never has been

I’m confused why Jezebel so regularly defends this bombastic violent racist. If a man pulled any of the shit Azalea Banks has you hypocrites would be frothing at the fucking mouth.

What’s the difference? A lot of lyricists, for example Jimi Morrison, would have books of poems they wrote that they’d go to when their band mates wrote a song. You can take a beat to say Neruda’s poems without invalidating the literary merit of it, why do you invalidate poetic prose solely because of backing…

So is poetry not literature then either?

I’d love to see Jez have this much compassion for other hateful people on the internet. People here always excuse banks behavior as mental illness but revel in scorching others for the exact same behavior like if a white man shouted “paki” at someone middle eastern it’d be because they’re racist, but when Banks does…

Are you conflating a drug addiction with being an internet shitstarter? Jesus Christ the difference between banks and Lohan is Banks is a serial harasser/Bigot. But other than that huge difference oh yeah this is totally just bc Banks is black

“No NO your friends are definitely rapists/sexual assaulters bc they are men” people like you are why stupid shit like #notallmen exists. But please keep on making assumptions based entirely off gender you fucking sexist

Yeah no ones ever called Dylan a poet. but hey no poetry is totally a valid form of literature and only ceases to be once a beat is added. Because you know how beats invalidate the written word because reasons.

Yes, but “white” here is definitely meant to imply a sort of privilege whereas Armenians are the victims of a genocide and the butt of bizarrely casual discrimination in the US

Clearly this is a coordinated attempt by the media to character assassinate America’s most successful pumpkin

“Those people have access to a hundred years of films, books, and television all about slavery. If they don’t “know” about it, they don’t want to.” I know exactly what I’m talking about.

Your response was 100% contained to if they were curious they’d have seen it by now, nothing to do with the sensationalist aspect nor that people can’t be entertained our of racism.

You absolutely did. Someone suggested a reason why someone would wanna tell this story and your response was basically “nah lol”

Sincere question here: there seems to be a (pretty understandable) backlash against people trying to convey the emotions or experiences of marginalized peoples that they themselves don’t belong; would you honestly have liked if Parker tried to view rape through a female lens or would you bemoan that a lack of creative…

Cool that you get to be the arbiter of what stories should be getting made or if a movie has a purpose.

Prefer the days of the saw movies where torture porn was kept lily white?

“Equality feels like discrimination” when yall will believe a woman’s claim with no proof but gladly condemn a dudes claim with the no proof. That’s fine, of course women need the benefit of the doubt given the systemic discrimination they’re gonna face. But if you say you’re doing it in the name of equality it’s…

Aw sweetie what happened to not engaging with trolls :( we both thought you were better than this
