I am not one to post beef anymore because blogs do it for pageviews and personally, I choose to waste my time on Twitter rather than posting here. Although, what I do not stand for what-so-ever is discrimination. It is appalling that people in positions such Carnage have the audacity to say such language and attempt to defend his use of the word. In terms of this, there is a beef between Deadmau5 and Carnage. This isn’t surprising. In Dave Grutman’s Snapchat, Dave asked him “How’s Deadmau5” to which Carnage responded that “He’s a faggot.”

Now, I know we complain about being politically correct and no one is perfect. Although, this is an individual who is on the main stage at festivals. This is a person who headlines festivals. All around the world. He did this in a public venue – Dave Grutman’s Snapchat. This is a similar situation which destroyed the career of Ten Walls. Here is what really infuriates me. He has the audacity to justify the use of the word, “faggot.” He first calls Deadmau5 a pussy when he pointed out this “senseless shit.”

He then goes into a rant in which he explains he has family that is apart of the LGBT community. Now, I cannot speak for them, but I believe they would be offended by this word and raised him better than to use it as a slur.

Thankfully, other artists such as Marcus Schossow decided to step up and say something.

Normally, a person who is reasonable would just delete the comments and such and apologize. Carnage? NOPE!

Finally, Carnage starts apologizing when he gets some reactions and realizes how quickly his career can go out the window. First the Razer incident. Now, this.

using the term "faggot" was wrong and I apologize to anyone that took offense, I didn't mean to offend anyone

I will never use that term again… I'm sorry but being a homophobe is just not me…

And this is your response? As if you feel like you're family & friends entitles you to freely use that word? 👌🏽 https://t.co/6WVDEhc8UB

I am asking for some serious repercussions. This is really appalling and extremely disheartening. How can we support someone like this? He is supposed to be a role model and an individual who is held in high regard. I’m sorry. I cannot support someone like this.
Edit: How can you support him?
