Lizzo: Cancel culture is 'appropriation' — it's 'trendy and misused'
2023-01-10
[NYPOST] To borrow one of her song titles: "Truth Hurts."

Lizzo, 34, took to social media Sunday morning to share her thoughts on cancel culture.

The outspoken "About Damn Time" singer argued that cancel culture has "become trendy" and diminishes more serious issues.

"This may be a random time to say this but it’s on my heart ... cancel culture is appropriation," she tweeted. "There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it’s become trendy, misused and misdirected."

She continued, "I hope we can phase out of this & focus our outrage on the real problems."

Last summer, Lizzo came under fire for using an "ableist" term in her song "Grrrls."

Disability advocates on social media slammed the singer for the use of the word "sp-z" — a common American slang for the term "spastic" to mean "going crazy" or "freaking out," but is highly offensive in UK and aimed to belittle people with cerebral palsy.

#4  Wait.....Spaz?!

You telling me this generation couldn't make it past 90 minutes of 80's teen movie?

Lizzo. Not a fan, but fukem'. Whatever you thought Cancel Culture was, it isn't anymore. I'd call it the purist definition of what the 80s would call Retarded.

#3  “Cancel Culture is an appropriation.” At some point woke jargon becomes a new language that will require a google translate function.
