Award shows present the average Joe/Jane Twitter with the opportunity, from the comfort of their own midpriced sweatpants, to talk shit about celebrities who make commercially successful art-products that are not to the tastes of said Joe/Jane Twitter, and last night’s Grammy awards telecast was no exception. But while finding the Grammys “disgusting” is apparently the one thing that unites this divided world in 2014, the reasons people gave for reaching their varied conclusions were as multicolored as the rainbow flag Mackle co-0pted to bolster his soft-rap career. Here are but a few of them.
Ew, gays.
The most predictable of the disgusted reactions to the Grammys involved homophobes embarrassing themselves by reacting negatively to the mass wedding officiated by Queen Latifah on 34 couples (some of whom were g-g-g-g-gay!) while Macklemore performed his famous Mackling anthem “Same Love” — something I thought was probably an excellent piece of obvious trolling that a truly principled bigot would have been able to ignore.
But because progressive righteousness makes excellent clickbait, aggregators hoping to capitalize on it were quick to post damning roundups of dumb teens who haven’t learned better, or dumb old people who won’t be alive to vote in an election cycle or two. Here Are 27 People Who Still Think Gays Are Icky — that kind of thing. The 2014 Internet has the calling out homophobes game on lock.
Ew, homophobes
Some of last night’s disgust was focused on those who expressed disgust over same sex relationships. Finding other people disgusting is, quite frankly, disgusting. And many were disgusted.
Beyoncé
Those who watched the Grammys know that the show opened with a hot-ass performance of Drunk In Love by King Bey, but not everyone was a fan.
The Daily Mail’s Concerned Moms With Questionable Levels Of Literacy desk was busy writing up a description of the dance, which involved a human butt moving in many sex ways.
