Deadmau5 has a penchant for being a jackass on Twitter, but more than anything he’s always just simply speaking his mind. Yesterday, he related to his fanbase that he didn’t really get the point of competitive voguing.
here's another thing ill never fully understand…. competitive vogue-ing.

The innocuous enough tweet was met with intense ire from many members of the gay community, who felt that deadmau5 was somehow disrespecting them by saying he literally just doesn’t understand something.
As opposed to some of his other seemingly insensitive tweets, this one seems to have struck a major chord with the LGBT community, and he spent a great deal of yesterday responding to tweets about it.
This whole thing is quite ridiculous to see unfold – we recommend making some popcorn before going any further.
Deadmou5 is not ready for the gays who are about to flood his mentionshttps://t.co/9T1b2zDLBj

what does it have to do with gays? i said i didn't get it. How simpler does a concept have to be for you to not be offended? https://t.co/E6byeRJmdA

it's part of vibrant queer culture your genre ORIGINATED FROM but I guess a giant mouse head is something "ill never fully understand" 🙄✌🏼 https://t.co/12txggsGQH

how to respond to that like a normal person: Yeah, its cool, i don't expect everyone to get the mouse head. Sometimes i dont. It's all good. https://t.co/AoH3vqk9UT

I guess he thinks everything should be understood by everyone which just isn't true. Not everything is for you. https://t.co/DaVIfkBD7e

"ill never fully understand" could also be interpreted as "understand to a degree" but instead of embracing that, go ahead and burn it down. https://t.co/gtY9JJdAxA
— Goat lord (@deadmau5) March 16, 2017
well… since i'm all about equality… ill also never fully understand competitive cheer leading. *BRACES HARD AS FUCK FOR IMPACT*
