I still don't know what to write here. Account da cazzeggio di una polemica dislessessica.

@winnithehoe @benhvrdys @misfitroger You missed the point. It's used to define a character, a villain that's (as the song said) vulgar and vile, in the same ways you ear slurs from villains in movies or books. Plus it was written in the 70s (and that's another argument). It was not considered ok and I don't like it.

@floreawe_ Don't be silly, I don't think slurring is ok. I said that using a slur (like they do in movies, books, tv series) could have a purpose for writers to underline a character trait. It's not difficult to understand fiction from reality. Anyhow I'm sick of this conversation too. Bye.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@floreawe_ How can you say that the character isn't talking? She's the one talking in two verses: "Put them in the cellar...", "I reign with my left hand..." and three if we count also the last one (but that could be also the narrator) "forget your sing alongs..."

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@floreawe_ Ok, thank you, I will. Bye. Have a nice day child.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@floreawe_ Did I said that? My English is bad but not that bad. To paraphrase myself, I said that it wasn't considered that awful as it is nowadays. Sensibility towards words (and in particular that word) changes (luckily). I'm not defending that word I just suggested to contestualize it.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@ladylesso He didn't call anyone that. He used the word in a song where a fictional character said the word (referred to sugar). And in the 70s that word was vulgar (that's why they made the villain say it) but the social sensibility was different, it didn't sound so awful as it sounds now.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@oodlenoodle_ @floreawe_ …even taking into consideration: there's an evil fictional character that's talking there. It's not personal thoughts.
Anyhow since we are talking about insults it's not that using stereotypes as insults is good either. P.s. fettuccine alfredo's is not even an italian dish. :)

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@oodlenoodle_ @floreawe_ I'm not talking about feelings but about the lyrics: there's a villain who say bad words and do evil things. Furthermore it was 73, the n word was not considerd as it is nowadays. I'm not trying to tell you how you should FEEL about it, I'm giving you a context that you are not…

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@ladylesso You don't know if he was racist or not, like I don't, surely he wasn't because he made a character saying something bad, that's ridiculous. What I know is that his best friend (after Mary Austin) was a jamaican guy (not that it exclude the possibility but it surely questions it).

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@ladylesso In this context is not though. Should we censor what artists and authors made their evil characthers say? The word was used instead of brown sugar and it was 73, it sounded rude but not offensive like nowadays, and that word was used to underline the vulgarity of that character.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@floreawe_ Girl, really, read the lyrics, it's the Black Queen talking there and she's "vulgar abuse and vile". You are supposed to hate her not to agree with her. She's an evil fictional character written in a 1973 song. Get your context right. :)

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@CarmenQuest @starkwannabe @sherlwatson Girls, it's the villain talking in that verse, she's decribed as"vulgar abuse and vile" in another verse. And it was written in 73, sensibility towards certain words was different, probably it only sounded very rude and they put that on purpose in the mouth of an evil character.

[Gippa @GippaEsc]

@breakfreemalek @Vividscarletsky In the song it's a character saying it in a verse, and the character was described as "vulgar abuse and vile" in another verse, you're supposed to hate her, she's a villain. If you leave aside the context it change the fact that's an evil fictional character talking.
