I'm not offended babe 8-) And I totally get what he meant by using that word in his circles of friends. (my only concern is this is not a good word to use in public :  I am just worried about him cuz ILHSFM Well, I think words are just collections of letters. Like Adam said once, the intention behind the word is the culprit. |

Skylar's friend was using the African American analogy re taking back the sting of a word and their referring to each other as "n###er....note, as a caucasion person, I KNOW that I do not have the right to use that word without risking offending someone.
The gay community as done the same thing with their hate words of F#G, F##ot etc, as well as appropriating the term Queer. That is their right.
Following the lead of the black and the gay communities, only the referenced demographic can use to diffuse the offending word..in this case CUNT [note, I feel I can use this word as it is MY nasty word to use. If they are using this term for themself, they are essentially taking a word that is not "theirs" to take. The word is the ultimate offence to a woman....they have no right to use it and claim they were not 'intending' to offend. It is offensive.
Do you suppose Adam would call members of his band "ni##ers", on twitter, and not expect to have offended them and fans....frankly, I do not see the difference. It is just that women are not supposed to get overtly offended .... they are to play nice and make like they just did not know better, and/or did not really mean that.
That being said...I personally would not leave the fandom over that....We feel pretty certain he did not mean to offend, but he did offend many...and I sure would also not condemn anyone else for feeling that offended.This is not the time, in my humble opinion, to start that old "I am a better fan than you because I am not offended or I love him unconditionally". We all love him because he is fabulous in countless ways. ... and fabulous is a condition...if he turned into a wgwg to make more money, many of us may silently and sadly drift away....which suggests we do have conditions....and happily he meets and exceeds every one of them.....
