Note: Some of these tweets are potentially triggery for racist language. Please proceed with caution. We apologize for the incredibly late note.

You all sound like a bunch of college sophomores who just had your first sociology class on race. Next semester it'll be social construction of gender, and everyone will be all butthurt because someone misuses the word "tranny" and that will be the end of the world too. Boo fucking hoo.

Frank also called himself "that faggot from My Chemical Romance" on stage - where was the outrage over that?

Allowing racist, sexist, or homophobically charged language go isn't cool in any situation.

Tranny is offensive, just as much as faggot is.

And one more time: when someone tells you "this is offensive" "this is sexist" "this is racist", you take a step back, you think about it and you apologize. The burden is always on you to make it right, never on someone who is hurt. I understand the desire to backlash against something like this, I do. I was like that for a very long time. But when someone does something stupid, like yes misusing "tranny" or retweeting something that is problematic and they are called on it, examine yourself.

Additionally we are all burdened with being ableist, sexist, homophobic, racist. These are things that should be confronted and dealt with, it makes us better and stronger people. Not weaker.

It's also helpful to allow a person who isn't following The Only Correct Method Of Responding To An Accusation Of Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Transphobia a chance to know of The Only Correct Method Of Responding To An Accusation Of Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Transphobia before throwing the book at them.

Yes, how unreasonable for people to expect others to not throw slurs around and to call them on it when they do.

Yes, because using racist/homophobic/sexist language is totally acceptable, right? Stop being so edgy and actually think about how offensive you're being..

You have a MSI icon. Maybe you should take your own advice.

This, despite what you may believe, is not the outrage olympics.
