I am now tolerant of gays, but in the wrong way.

but you see Macklemore had stupid ideas about homosexuality in the third grade therefore something something.

You know, this joke is getting really really old.

Like, okay, the first few lines aren't the best, but can we either 

a. Think about the things the song did right

b. Complain about something that hasn't already been complained about a million times over and go for something that isn't such an easy target?

...did you think I was actually complaining about those lines?

lol

I was basically Myrmidonning about them

This is somehow tumblr's fault, isn't it?

yeah tumblr is really weird about Macklemore.  I don't actually know what's wrong about his politics, but Thrift Shop did not give me a particularly positive view of his lyrical ability.

I will smile as ravens feast on my corpse, that's for sure.

Smiling's kind of mandatory in that situation.

I mean, smiling's the only thing you can do without lips, and you won't have lips for long.

Spinor, I think Kex was complaining more about the 'gay drawing' line being the only thing that people talk about concerning that song.

Like, even in context that's a dumb line.
