One of the character Twitters (confirmed as Gerard's) called a female fan a cunt on Twitter (completely unprovoked, not that that fucking matters), another one said something about the "first slut at the orgy," and the character on roller skates in the video is called "Ladyboy," which is a transphobic slur. Also, Frank Iero has made a number of spectacularly unfunny sexist jokes on Twitter in the past that have since been removed (but if one goes through tothetune, they're there still, I just don't have the links).

It's not, but neither is judging her more harshly than the aforementioned dudes in the fandom--it's not like "whore" isn't in one of Panic's songs, for instance, and something I've never seen discussed is the live performance of "Sins..." where the (mostly female) audience yells the word back at them. We ought to be able to call Z out and also call the rest of them out while we're talking about faily language--she isn't MORE supposed to think about what she says or does than the boys are. Because that's really not feminist either.

Of course not! Hi! :)
