For what? They did nothing wrong? There’s no implication of rape nor is he using the r-word in an offensive manner, the r-word has two meanings and this OBBVISE context he’s using the second meaning.
re·tard
verb
/riˈtärd/
- delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment. "our progress was retarded by unforeseen difficulties"
Bruh in the lyrics he's talking about a girl, then saying something about holding someone back, like its weird. Either way the should address it.
I find nothing offensive about this, in English or Korean. If you think there is a part where there may be some sort of mistake in translation, please let me know and I will explain the Korean for you
Twitter throwing around shit as usual lmao
How pathetic
Imagine using serious issues to drag a group u dislike
Just ignore them and let this thread die guys...
personally i think they should apologize about the use of the rword but
He's using "retard" as a verb not a noun so he's not using it to insult anyone.
I remembered from French class that "retard" means to delay, and here it was used as a verb. Well, it seems that in English it has the same meaning, outside of being used as a slur.
What do the lyrics even mean?
Did they not already apologize for the problematic attitudes they had at that time? I don't know what is the need to debate something that everyone already knows
nothing offensive in there

I speak French and Portuguese. In both it is used with the meaning of delay. "I'm late" actually translates to "Je suis en retard" in French. Since English borrows a big part of its lexicon from French, it has the same meaning in English.

Yes...nit sure as a slur but “late/delay” in french isn’t an insult but just “retarde” with no double meaning.
je suis désolé d'être en retard= I’m sorry for being late.
These people gonna have a hard time in the real world if they jump to conclusions like this, especially one this offensive.
Wait so he used retard like being late, slow (être en retard- french being late) and people thought he insulted someone?

Lmao all these people agreeing to this looking like clowns 😪
You all DO realize that they made amends, apologized, and then ran their lyrics by a feminist professors of gender studies to avoid any future lyrics like that, right?
And that from then they wrote lyrics empowering women, and openly supported the feminist cause, right?
I just find this suspect that these lyrics have been available and are not new yet on Women's Day someone suddenly went Oh no what is this ?? And then we have 2 posts about it.
And rape?? RAPE?? ffs
