The Tale of Two F#ggot Tweets

Could someone tell me the difference between the two tweets?

And


What's the difference? There is NO difference, however there is a difference on who gets attacked and who gets protected.

Azealia gets GLAAD and others hounding after her, Dan... no one. Now before anyone tries to say that Dan used it differently, please remember that a slur is a slur; you can't pretty it up. If it's shit, it's shit regardless if you Fabrezed it and put a pink bow on it.

I'm not defending Azealia here, I'm just pointing out the bias and privilege besetting this entire mess. If she gets called out, then keep it consistent and call out everybody else.

Glee Characters described as F**S by a Vanity Fair writer, but later Apologized for it

I saw this over at Towleroad and thought, "Really?"

VF's Brett Berk wrote a Gay Guide to Glee. In his piece, he wrote about this clip here

He said:
Okay, so I went over to the main source and got this
I would like to apologize sincerely to anyone I offended with the use of the term “fag” (now removed) in this “Gay Guide to Glee” column. As an openly gay writer writing in an overtly overblown style, my intent in using the word in this offhanded way was to continue my consistent efforts to confront and challenge stereotype, to unpack the way in which language works, and to deconstruct the clever gender politics at play in the scene I described: teasing out the purposeful incongruity of this (foamy) attempt to make the conspicuously gay Dalton Warblers seem “sexy” to females. Anyone with even a whiff of familiarity with my writing will know that I am, and have long been, a tireless agitator, here at VF.com and elsewhere, for gay rights, as well as a huge supporter of everything Glee has accomplished in advancing a meaningful dialogue about homosexuality in our popular culture—and in our youth culture in particular.
Glad he apologized, but this shouldn't go unnoticed. In this day and age, we can't afford this type of foolishness. Please be careful next time, Brett.
