I'd rather they kept it as it is but I wouldn't really mind if it was censored, it would be different if it was it was the whole song they were looking to ban, but it's just one word.

Ban the whole song I can't stand it. But not because of this. It just grates on me like ****ing sandpaper.

Someone posted on Twitter that they’d prefer “you taped over Taggart!” and now I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I think it's a dumb controversy and one undoubtedly stirred up by people who aren't even part of the LGBT. I don't take issue with the song and I don't think I've ever met another LGBT person who cares either.

Yeah the whole song is full of insults , it's basically a drunken miserable couple fighting at Christmas time . It's not exactly promoting these "slurs" . I've always liked the song it's like a funny untraditional Christmas . But obviously it's not a child friendly song .

I read somewhere it has the 'Gold Digger' effect: ie. straight whities are desperately keen to sing that line because they can't get away with saying it in everyday conversation (much like "she ain't messing with no broke *****s") and I think there's some truth in it. Definitely a tinge of "lol this is a bad word!" and treating a slur like a little joke.
That said, I love the song and don't mind its usage too much. It's dated and offensive but I don't think the two protagonists of the song are meant to be shining examples of humanity anyway.

I've always thought it's super weird that "whips and chains" gets censored in Rihanna's S&M song, yet the radio will happily play this song with "********t" and "a**e" uncensored.

There are reasons for the snowflakes to hate that one, lyrics in that song include "whether you're white, brown or yellow" |
