I'm sure he doesn't mean it as an insult guys. It's just the way words are translated around the world. It's just seen as a word, it doesn't have the same impact as it would here in the United States.

I say this like once a month I swear, the world is bigger than The United States.

Yeah, i learned fag is the same thing as Gay... There is many words like that, in U.S i know i can't use a specially offensive l word to reffer to black people because i know it's very offensive, even don't understanding why since it have the same meaning.

^ now you're pushing it, please refrain from using those words. I didn't mean you could continue using the word. STOP IT NOW!

Okay, i'll change the op and my posts, gosh, such a mess just because of two words...



Stereotypes and reality can often be two completely separate things.

Oh and "fag" is not a word that's cool to use, especially in England where this thread would be taken completely differently. But I see people have already been through this lol.

Also, CSS are an awesome band .

Well "n*****" comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word for "black", "Negro". Would you think it is weird to say, "Black" referring to a person of African descent? It to me, is somewhat informal, but not really a slur at all. That is probably where he was coming at with the word. They are all rooted from the Latin adjective "Niger", as is the name of the country Nigeria. So that is where he is coming from. I'm assuming living in Brazil, his native language is portuguese.

Pop in general isn't bad, but some specific artists maybe.

You should just listen to what you want.

A guilty pleasure of mine

 



meh I listen to pop all the time. I've never had my heterosexuality come into question because of it.



Well, I am comfortable enough about my sexuality (I'm freaking married for petes sake) That I really don't care if other people think my music is "gay".

Offtopic. I really don't see why everybody is all up in arms about the OPs choice of words, he was obviously just regurgitating something he has been called for listening to music that men are "not supposed to listen to". I highly doubt he said it to intentionally offend anybody.



Past Avatar picture!!!

Don't forget your helmet there, Master Chief!

You dont onyl have your sexuality questioned but also your race. In North America you have to follow the hip hop culture to be considered cool. If a mexican or black person decides to act themselves and not follow, they are considered gay and "whitewashed". Its sad labels are put on people.
