Travis Scott goes on homophobic rant during performance

Travis, Travis, is you the one "that talks about pussy, but suck dick" as Steve Lacy said.

Wow. What an unpleasant individual. How is he even a thing?

Why are these guys getting a pass for their homophobia and misogyny?

He does it so often he's got to be doing it on purpose for attention.

R2 because they’re black

Because gay men are still the bottom of the pecking order

Discouraging to see this. We haven’t progressed as a society. Curious to know what the Kardashian response is. Caitlyn? Any reaction?

Caitlyn probably agrees with him.

Caitlyn is a conservative Republican lady, so she is probably a bit homophobic.

[quote]We haven’t progressed as a society.

Travis Scott of all people isn't the cultural barometer for American society.

R2 Because the Kardashians have control over more than we would like to believe.

R8 Really?

Oh, yes R8, he is. He is the part of one of yours most famous families.

R8 no but this is what a lot of straight men think. They just are too scared to say it out loud now.

[quote]Travis Scott of all people isn't the cultural barometer for American society.

Disagree.

If you don’t stop lookin go so gay I'm gonna fuck you in the ass, faggot - Travis

Travis is one of the few that is allowed to speak his mind, so I wouldn't agree with R8

Calling Dave Chapelle: remind me again, who are all these gays “punching down on your people?”

[quote]We haven’t progressed as a society.

It’s blacks.

It’s not just blck people. Despite racists wanting to blame them for everything

He should have been shot in the face right then and there.

Surprised he wasn’t.

Aren’t people smuggling in firearms to those events?

People have known he's homophobic for years but nothing has changed.

R19 the crowd was cheering. Why would they shoot him if they agree?

R18 it’s not racist for gay people to point out that a certain race is extremely anti gay, shit I know gay Black people that have talked about it to me

I don’t care anymore, R18. I’m sick of American gays, I’m sick of blacks, I’m sick of Muslims. Sick of you idiots. You deserve each other.

The response is what is discouraging.

Seriously. Why does our culture love to go after celebrities who may have said or done something considered “problematic” 20-30 years ago and try to retroactively cancel them, while abhorrent shit like this continues to happen NOW and there seems to be radio silence?

When you've recently killed a bunch of people in Houston via your own negligence and stupidity, this kinda seems like small potatoes.

What a "King". 🙄

Isn’t his future “mother” in law a trans?

After all those people who died or were injured at his Astroworld concert and people holding him fully responsible, he can't afford to make any more enemies than he already has. He should keep his mouth shut and not dig his own grave even deeper.

The hubris of doing this so soon after people died at your concert is telling. I am not religious but this truly is the devils work. Nothing good about it.

A trans that likes women

Sure^.

It's a very common tactic to distract from your own fuck-ups by punching down, like the Gays. That gets "your" people back on your side. Common ground (hating some minority group) and shit.

Why do black people get a pass? Can you imagine anyone else saying this? Holding everyone to the same standard is the first step in gaining true equality. I mean, this is repugnant behavior. Come on.

R34 not only that but according to Dave Chappelle, whom I think is hilarious and used to like, it’s gay people that punch down on blacks

You can’t make this shit up

It didn't hurt Eminem or Guns & Roses, I guess they have no reason to refrain from such remarks because, if anything it seems to encourage their target audience. Remember all the people who emerged from the woodwork when Trump was elected, they are out there in huge numbers.

R36 GNR was the 80s and Eminem the early 2000s

Both over 20 years ago

R36 and I’m sure all his majority Bkack fans cheering on his homophobic remarks were all Trump supporters

My God, people will do anything to defend this

R36 and Travis Scott himself is a Democrat, he criticized Kanye West for wearing a Trump hat and Trump himself in a 2018 Rolling Stone interview

When will The Women on The View 'tsk tsk' him? I'm sure Joy Behar is ready to share another old joke about Gays.

I'm confident Joy Reid will join Joy Behar in loudly and roundly condemning this! Double the Joy against homophobia!

This guy needs to be canceled, stat.

He is a complete demon and lowlife. And a menace to society.

(And he looks like a demented tarantula.)

R40 as I’ve always stated, liberals are not friends to gay men

And most liberal straight men, of all races, I know have a huge problem with gay male sexuality

They love their lesbians but they’re fake motherfuckers the hen it comes to male homosexuality, they pretend like they’re OK with it

R38 White kids love him. This is the new punk rock.

R37 and? What does that mean? I love how gays think everything changed overnight in this country. Things are the same but more hidden. That’s is all.

White kids are super homophobic all throughout the country outside of major cities. Wake up.

Serious question: There are respected leaders in the Black 'community' in the U.S. who are not backwards in their thinking. Why don't people like Barack and Michelle and Oprah speak out against the homophobia which seems to be so acceptable in Black culture? They should repeat that message nonstop, if they are true allies of Gays and Lesbians.

R42 I agree completely. Some of my liberal straight white friends have had the gall to lecture me about this and that about the gay community, whereas I have other blue collar type friends who just don’t give a shit about my sexuality and don’t lecture people.

R16, Dave Chapelle can't come to the phone right now, he's busy yelling at high school kids.

He's a sociopath. That anyone would support this piece of shit after what happened in Houston makes no sense to me. Society in collapse.

36 Eminem has changed, when he called Tyler the creator a fag, he later apologized to other people, saying the insult was meant only for TTC.

R50, so if I call a black person the N-word, I’m only specifically referring to one person, which means I’m not really racist for using the word.

R42 They don't really like lesbians either, they just jerk off to trashy fake lez porn.

R51 I was joking, I wanted to point out what a silly excuse it is, as if he said that insult cunt was meant for one specific woman only and not misogynist. But it was funns seeing how he was forced to apologize, while in the beginning of his career he was pouring anti gay slurs.

R45 almost everyone in his crown were Black

You stupid fuck

That’s what we’re talking about here, the issue at hand

In fact, I believe that there are enough white homophobes, just at the moment they are not allowed to express it in public.

Agreed about society being in collapse, R49, but we can't go a week without someone blaming us (as in gays) for the collapse in society. See Valeri Bure for a recent example.

As for liberal straight men, we (as in gays) are acceptable to them as long as we do exactly what they want, at all times. Which includes having to date FTMs because Trans Men Are Men™️, and giving money to the black trans woman tricking at the nearby street corner because they're the Backbone of the LGBTQIA+ Community and we owe our rights to them.

Can you imagine the media outrage if this was a Republican white country music artist doing the same thing as Scott at one of his shows?

His baby's grandfather is a tranny, and his baby's mother is essentially a tranny, so I guess he thinks that gives him a pass. I hate his fans too, so I'm glad he insulted them.

Was Axl Rose a known homophobe back in the 80s/90 s? It wouldn't surprise me, but he was so hot in GnR clips.

R59 he said anti gay shit but later apologized for it

But he was an asshole

It’s funny now because he looks like a woman

The fact Travis Scott is heading American culture is going to be reason 2372829 people vote red. You watch.

R35 I watched that. Dave was essentially saying “No one deserves to cry about anything because Black people are truly the only oppressed in this country.” In a nutshell.

[quote] Was Axl Rose a known homophobe back in the 80s/90 s?

He used "I was molested as a child" as an excuse. That's all it took back then to be ok with a celebrity's homophobia.

Liberals can be as biased as Conservatives. Let's not forget that back in the 90s Donald Trump was a Democrat, because in NY that was more acceptable and got him more goodwill and business.

A lot of people use politics for their own gain. Lots of conservative pundits say one thing in public and do the opposite in private (current case in point: COVID- 19 Vaccination).

[quote]almost everyone in his crown were Black

Proof of this? What are you basing that claim on?

R65 the videos I seen of the incident

He doesn’t care about proof, he’s a white gay man who thinks blacks like him.

According to many a dumbfuck datalounger he only hates fags because of Ross Mathews and their type so really Travis can't help it. Put the blame on the flaming homos where it belongs.

r68, congrats, that's a really great parody of a troll.

R66 So link them

So lil Travie likes to suck dick. Who knew. We all do now.

r2, black males get away with a lot in society and still whine about victimhood. Don't call me a racist for acknowledging that -- I'm married to a black man and even he agrees.

r8, the fact that Travis Scott is a famous and successful as he currently is says he is a barometer to some extent.

r54, you're talking out of your ass. The crowds at his concerts aren't only or even overwhelmingly black -- a quick search on Google, Youtube, and IG for footage of his crowds proves that and it's true for most current rappers.

r45, of course, but the usual suspects are in this thread pushing the idea that it only or mostly comes from blacks. Those kinds of blinders result in people crying about how homophobic blacks are, how they never get challenged for it, and how we're always a punching bag for hetero society, then running to another thread to join in on non-black heteros crowning a gayling prom queen. Those kinds of blinders are how people don't see the inherent and casual homophobia of "well meaning" non-blacks pushing kids down the trans path for GNC behavior instead of accepting the child is gay, or trying to 'correct' our sexual orientation by telling us how to sexually please a trans person. Those kinds of blinders are how people are never burdened with the understanding that these homophobic rappers only developed the reach, accumulate the money, and achieve the success that they have because of non-black agents, managers, record companies, marketers, etc. that work hard to make these people successful and are okay with the homophobia they spread in the process.

[quote] Curious to know what the Kardashian response is. Caitlyn? Any reaction?

I don’t follow the Kardashians. Which one is Caitlyn? The sour looking mother?

No, Confused, the sour looking father.

I hope Kylie Jenner isn't still with him. What does she SEE in him? If she found HIM attractive, it makes me wonder if she was sexually abused as a child. His whole persona is just garbage and trash.

Does he sing? Does he play any musical instruments? It's not like he's John Legend. He's not even handsome. He's just an illiterate pothead.

Frankly, I'm amazed that he got accepted into University of San Antonio. He was obviously an affirmative action admit.

They're still together, r75. Although, she might be held hostage, judging by the picture in the 15 Jan 22 article I linked to from the trash 'news'paper, TheSun. Here're a couple lines from that 'article'/PR piece:

TRAVIS REFLECTS? Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy Travis Scott shares rare photo as he relaxes on beach just two months after Astroworld tragedy

Jorge Solis 14:02, 15 Jan 2022Updated: 14:30, 15 Jan 2022

KYLIE Jenner's baby daddy Travis Scott shared a rare photo as he relaxed on the beach about two months after the Astroworld Festival tragedy, which claimed the lives of 10 people.

Travis, 30, appeared to be working on his tan in an Instagram Story.

R75, Kylie looks like she’s in danger.

She's as trashy as he is. And she must be the Kardashian with the most plastic surgery of all of them, including Kim. I mean, look at that plain Jane on the left.

"Travis Scott? That bitch is singing off-key ON THE RECORD!"

[quote] Can you imagine the media outrage if this was a Republican white country music artist doing the same thing as Scott at one of his shows?

Oh, c’mon y’all, ain’t nothing would happen.

Just don’t do it the other way around!

[quote] the videos I seen of the incident

Oh, dear!

There’s no exclamation point in “Oh dear”.

It’s “Oh dear”. No comma. True Datalounge.

He's just ignorant trash. No wonder he's a Kardashian-adjacent.

R82, you couldn’t be more wrong.

An interjection always requires a comma, and an exclamation point adds emphasis for a particularly egregious error.

Enough ^.
