How about guys who call themselves "babydaddy" kill themselves and make the world a better place? How about people who live in section 8 housing kill themselves? How about people who have 4 kids when they can't afford 1 kill themselves? How about males who continue to have children although they already have one (or more) that they have done nothing for kill themselves? Any comment by 50cents about this?
I don't think 50 Cent is any friend of the gays, but this post of his seems not anti-gay but pro-cunnilingus. (There's a longstanding gangster (see The Sopranos)/gangsta (see various hiphop lyrics denouncing the practice) pose against pussy-eating as gross and somehow unmanly, and I think 50's telling men to grow the fuck up and chow down.)
So, it's possible for this "tweet" (I can't believe I just typed that) to be pro-pussy AND anti-gay, right? I mean, yes, he's telling people to "chow down" (I can't believe I just typed THAT), but aren't rappers famously homophobic? Isn't that where the whole "no homo" thing started? Ugh. I'd rather read about spiders.
Rumor has it 50's on the DL. I think he post this stuff to try and prove otherwise.
He needs to leave it alone tho', he's not convincing anyone.
Personally I don't care if he is or isn't, I like his work/rap/voice but this crap he says & posts is disappointing for whatever reason.
Trying to shame "just kill yourself" out of the pantheon of zingy comic phrases a) renders absurd the energy behind the It Gets Better project and b) would be impossible, thank gawd because c) if this were a world where such a campaign could succeed I would probably kill myself.
Dominic, I'm sorry to be so mean as to shoot the messenger. Really, I was aiming at the spider on your shoulder there.
I know many a straight men who refuse to go down on their good lady. And sometimes, the women dont want the men to do this either, strange, but it happens with many many insecure women.
Pretty sure this tweet has nothing to do with gayness. It's very much in line with previous ones advising women to "suck a dick lol". 50 is pro-oral all the way, I find that commendable.
But you have demonstrated the difference between legitimate activism and self-absorbed victimology. After this one, try to find something real to complain about.
@24: Says the slog commenter who cries about those frightening homeless people, terrible taxes, offensive pro-gay laws and horrendous infringements via parking taxes. Woe.
@12 - "Dominic, I'm more concerned that you read 50cents twitter. Has this guy done anything relevant since we found him in the club?"
Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
@31 - You're one of those people who doesn't read comment threads before they comment, aren't you?
Also, he doesn't say, "If you are a straight man...." He says if you are a man. If he isn't including gay men in his stupid tweet, then he is implying that gay men aren't men. Equally as offensive.
How about:
If your name has numbers in it, just kill yourself damn it. The world would be a better place.
or
If you don't know the difference between your and you're (or you and you're, for that matter), just kill yourself damn it. The world would be a better place.
and no I'm not going to "LOL" it's not funny, it's hateful.
37: Yeah, I know Keekee. I regretted even typing that word. Just that it makes me so angry that some people can deeply offend us, and we're supposed to take it...silently?
@42 No, I think you speak up as often as you possibly can. Just because it's socially unacceptable to say the word you used (as it should be), it should also be socially unacceptable to use words like faggot in a derogatory way. People aren't going to "get it" until people who are pissed call them on their homophobia each and every time.

Just because I'd rather get help from Section 8 than be homeless doesn't put me in the same category as deadbeat dads and fucktards like 50 Cent.
Fuck you :)
@5) I propose you get out of the other side of the bed in the future. Might help.

Sob. Snuffle.

Classy!
No amount of muscles can make an ugly piece of shit pretty. He's just an ugly piece of shit with muscles.
