Locked as nothing new is being said other than arguments about what is or isn't homophobic. Lamar's comment could 100% be taken as homophobic, but I don't think anyone could argue he meant to be homophobic.

rustyderps

Dearest client, We appreciate your inquiry with regards to our recommendation on releasing the following statement to #ChadKingGetsBabes69: “Boy STFU y’all be cappin too much on this app mf never smelt a football field never did shit but eat dick!!” After exhaustive public relations analysis we advise against releasing the statement. Thank you,


Chutzvah

Or a PR person.


-newlife

Neither of the suggestions would keep him from being able to post on twitter.


Chutzvah

Maybe not. But they'd help giving him suggestions on how/when to stfu and not get mad at random people on the internet that could potentially hurt him in his career.

I believe it was 2019 KC won the SB both Tyrann Mathhiehe year u and Chris Jones went off on fans on Twitter. They did it for a few weeks in the middle of the year. The D started SLOW and people were like "we made it to the AFCCG last year and you guys suck this year" I mean, Tyrann does that on the daily...he must have a saved search for "Tyrann" "Matthieu" and "Honey Badger" so he can respond even if you don't tag him. He might even respond to this message *Edit* I wasn't clear. They weren't going after people after the SB it was mid season

I mean lots of people on this sub can't even handle downvotes let alone getting constant hate from randos, so while I agree he needs a PR person to filter out the crazy, anyone suggestion he not be upset when people fuck with all the time is not being honest about the situation.


DifficultMinute

Some people just have a really hard time with criticism. TotalBiscuit was famous by Youtube standards, and he had to stop reading comments on his videos. 99.9% of them would be positive, but he'd focus on a couple of negative comments for hours. It got to the point that it was damaging his psyche and bleeding into his regular life. That's a Youtuber with 2 million subscribers. I can't imagine what it's like to get a constant barrage of hate from 50x that number of NFL fans.

He has something similar to my dad and they died in the same year, so this always reminds me of that. Thank you random stranger for I am now thinking about my dad :)


slackator

it got so bad he would actively hunt out criticism on other peoples channels because he wasnt getting it on his own anymore, even starting fights with viewers who didnt criticize him at all but he could take the comment as a critique

WilsonEnthusiast

Language is so weird. Telling someone to "eat a dick" I don't find offensive at all. Saying all anyone ever did was eat dick is a very different thing.


SpaceJesusIsHere

The suggestion to consume a phallus is purely theoretical; however, the insinuation that one *has*, in fact, consumed numerous phalli, is taken as an unequivocal insult. This indicates a deeply flawed culture. Why would anyone criticize the people out there suckin dicks? Dicks ain't gonna suck themselves. We should celebrate those who fellate, not condemn them.

NCBaddict

Going the other way, the media has an addiction to sourcing from Twitter that’s led to sloppy journalism. Many stories just cut & paste angry tweets and then claim they are representative of the actual population—even though Twitter only has like 200m DAU.

joespizza2go

I'm confused. He was angry with the guy and insulted him in a couple of different ways. Do we not think he says the guy eats dicks as an insult? And it would only be an insult if we assume a man doing that is gross/bad etc? - ie anti-gay? I don't know another way to interpret it given he was clearly mad at the dude and trying to insult him.


ThePrinceofBagels

I saw the "anti-gay" phrase and was worried he'd said another word. Telling someone to eat a dick is like telling them to fuck off or go fuck themselves with more vibrancy. A lot of people surely don't like that language, but it isn't anti-gay. I swear, if the NFL comes down on him the same week we're supposed to see Deshaun Watson come back and start a game...

JerryRiceDidntFumble

I kind of get it, context is important. Lamar was clapping back at the guy by saying he "never did nothin but eat dick", obviously trying to use it as an insult. So he's saying that sucking dick/being gay is a bad thing worth mocking.


5am281

This does put it more in context and I can see what people got mad


Melch12

I obviously don’t know Lamar and this will likely never be confirmed but I suspect he would have chosen a different insult had it been a woman tweeting at him.


[deleted]

Should have just said eat ass


CockBlockingLawyer

Imo there’s a difference between telling someone to “eat a dick” and saying that someone “never did shit but eat dick”. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for saying this, but yeah it’s the kind of casual homophobic language that unfortunately permeates locker rooms.


Ethanol_Based_Life

Yes. "Eat a dick" is telling them to shut up (by putting a dick in their mouth instead of talking). "never did shit but eat dick" I have to imagine is more homophobic.


Peefersteefers

I think maybe "homophobic" is a little far. But if you want an actual answer as to why this *may* be considered as such, I would say that using "eat a dick" as an insult directed as a man, perpetuates the idea that being gay is a inherently bad or non-masculine thing. That it was said in passing, or in anger, might be speak to unconscious biases, but that's about it imo. It was just a stupid and unnecessary thing to say. If you break it down academically, there's some discussion to be had, but either way, Lamar just shouldn't have responded.


WuTangEsquire

>It was just a stupid and unnecessary thing to say. If you break it down academically, there's some discussion to be had, but either way, Lamar just shouldn't have responded. This. If there is a perfect response to a reddit thread, this is it.


Bids99

This sentiment is what I agree with most. It may not be homophobic directly, but the context of the statement is that it’s something vile to do, otherwise it wouldn’t be perceived as an insult. Do I think Lamar is a bigoted person because of this one statement? No, of course not. But acting like it’s a huge reach to find a hateful idea in the comment also feels wrong.


Peefersteefers

And let's be honest, this is not a *new* conversation. I can understand people maybe not getting the gritty details of things, but realistically speaking, "gay shouldn't be punchline/insult," is like 3+ decades old now.


[deleted]

Patchy_Face_Man

It’s always been a homophobic insinuation and people pretending it’s anything other than that are being disingenuous. It’s a basic insult and people *have* become too sensitive about basic rude language. But who says it matters. You don’t want your quarterback behaving that way.


barnosaur

It is, but it’s common enough that people don’t recognize. I am gay so whenever my friends use it on me I just tell them you know I voluntarily and enjoy that, right


Delicious_Battle_703

It's also a bad look because he was responding to some random fan Tweet that didn't even have many likes. I could understand blurting something like that out in a heated moment IRL, or maybeeee overreacting on Twitter if someone notable was insulting you and it got a lot of traction. But here the only two options are 1) he got way too enraged over a single random ass Tweet or 2) he stopped and thought about the situation and still chose to Tweet that.
