God me too. Especially the Macklemore wank. Like hoooooo-lllleeeeee shit. A white, straight guy wrote a song about how homosexual and straight love are equal and should be treated as such. He donated the proceeds of the song to a group that helped legalize gay marriage in Washington. The song was also written for his uncles who are gay.

But no, he is an asshole because he is white (he also wrote a song about his White Privilege (titled that), straight, and male. So you have someone who is acting JUST like people want an ally to act and he is an asshole.

I didn't know people were actually saying that. That's pretty shitty.

da: Mostly on Tumblr, of course. Which makes my eyes roll so hard. They can't get past the 'cis white straight male' part, apparently and that makes him an asshole. Nevermind that he put out a queer-positive song in a very queerphobic genre.

Also ONTD...though that is all ONTD ever does so it's not something new.

Hah, i stopped paying attention to ONTD like three years ago, but if it's the same, you'd be 100% right. =P

Tumblr really, really isn't the place to go to talk about social justice.

SJWing, on the other hand...

Yeah, I know.

Still makes me roll my eyes when I see shit like that on Tumblr.

HERE! Have some links. :3

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.

fucking tumblr. sit the fuck down you self righteous assholes.

The thing about Macklemore that gets me the most is how he sought out a lesbian singer for the chorus, put his uncles who are gay on the cover, the song was inspired by his gay uncles not being able to get married, etc, and he gets branded as the hetciswhitemale awful dude?

Overall I think the whole ~hip-hop is homophobic~ bit is eyeroll inducing b/c he is not the only rapper to support gays ever, but people seriously downplay how much he tried to make actual queer people a part of his song, and why he wrote it, and that really bothers me. Like as a lesbian, dude, if my lil bro or someone did that for me and people dissed him as just some white cis straight male, I'd be so mad I'd have blood coming out my eyeballs. He didn't do it out of some dumb noble ally points, he did it because the issue affects him since it involves someone he loves.

Kinda reminds me of (and this is only mildly related) this post on tumblr where somebody got an Austim Speaks puzzle piece on their arm. And a bunch of autistic people on tumblr were reblogging it laughing and being like NOBODY ON THE SPECTRUM WOULD GET THAT TATTOO *eyeroll*

And I'm thinkin yeah, ok, maybe nobody would. But maybe this guy did it for his son or little brother? Maybe he doesn't know of the problems Autism Speaks had and he's trying to show support for somebody he loves?

Allies of things don't always do things the way the community would like, they don't always know the ins and outs or who's "bad" or "good", and sometimes they offer support that's a bit ignorant. But it's still support and I wish people would be a bit more gentle and forgiving of that.

I dunno. I mean I'll admit, there's contexts like the one you thought of that'd make it work, but a tatoo like that seems like the sort of thing somebody trying too hard would do when drunk or something.
