Jersey Shore‘s Jwoww Is Upset ‘F*cking Faggots’ Can’t Get Married
—Jenni “Jwoww” Farley, the Jersey Shore star whose “fucking faggot” line in the season three premiere was bleeped out by producers, tweets her frustration like a third-grader
Thank you, Jwow. Not all of us are pretentious old snobs.
The fact that this tweet will probably reach millions of young people- many of whom are the absolute last ones who would otherwise have anything to do with gay people- is completely lost on the author of this article. Yeah, young people say the word faggot. My best friend since middle school says fag sometimes, and she’s a lesbian happily engaged to her partner.
When she calls people she’s angry at “fags” I seriously doubt she means “I am calling you a homosexual!” she means “you’re an asshole/dickhead/d-bag/whatever” just like EVERY other person under the age of 30 who uses this word as an insult. get over it.

@PopSnap: Maybe you shouldn’t try to interpret what she or others say, because that’s called justifying, excusing, exculpating. You’re making an excuse for someone else while presuming to speak for them.
You also sound as if you don’t like old people, or old gays. Have you ever called one a fa&&ot or beaten one?

PopSnap,
Regardless of whether Jwoww’s tweet reaches millions of people, you also need to remember that the homophobic slurs uttered on Jersey Shore also reach millions of people. It’s a set of mixed messages that confuse people.
You need to look at things through an overall eye and not through bits and pieces in order to determine whether the overall message about gay people is positive or negative. So far, Jersey Shore has failed the test, and so has MTV.

Ok, calm down folks. This is a girl who exists in a fairly homophobic culture who not only spent an entire episode of Jersey Shore hanging out with a gay couple during Pride, but also then after kept a gay flag by her bed.
If she wants to go out, flash her rack at the homophobes and harrangue them into supporting gay rights, then more power to her.

@testington: Sure, she only calls people that when she’s fighting .. same as all gay bashers.
actually.

Don’t agree with her using the word, but she’s showed she’s sympathetic with us. And who knows if she learned something from the “faggot” scandal, maybe she doesn’t use the word anymore. Why hold it against her anymore after something like this?

Yeah, that message did read as though it had been written by a third grader — or as though it had been lifted directly from Queerty’s extraneous-exclamation-mark-spattered and pointless-question-riddled text.
