Last week Cardi B's Facebook account hosted an offensive meme, so fans started
calling her out. Welcome back to What's Trending, I'm Candace Carrizales you can
subscribe for more social media news every day. After an offensive meme was
posted to Cardi B's Facebook page, it got immediate backlash from her fans. Many
were surprised she posted it after she had apologized for posting something
similar a year ago. She responded to the backlash with a tweet. Her tweet read "it's come to my attention that
there have been offensive posts made on what used to be my Facebook page. For the past
year and a half, a former team member has been the only one with access to the
account." As you can see in her reply, she didn't apologize at all and you know
maybe she could have taken the chance to speak up against transphobia or
something like that? So, that caused people to reply to her reply. Laverne Cox
wrote on Twitter "I am a huge advocate for free speech but as long as it's
socially acceptable to make jokes about trans people, to make and share memes
disparaging and demeaning trans folks, trans folks will continue to be murdered
and denied civil rights. hashtag trans is beautiful hashtag trans rights are human
rights." Another twitter user responded saying "listen, even if true, it's still
the fault of you and your new team for leaving your name and image in the hands
of those who no longer work for you. Be best." And this twitter users said "Damage
control. Without an apology? Interesting." Cardi B has yet to respond to those responses from her tweet that was a
response to a post that she made on Facebook. Obviously, Cardi B isn't the
first celebrity to post something offensive online. There have been so many of them. But in more recent news,
PewDiePie posted and offensive meme after Demi Lovato had overdosed. Truly
not a surprise coming from PewDiePie, he has a new headline of him being
offensive and insensitive every month. He started getting tons of replies to his
tweet all of them essentially saying "hey PewDiePie, what's wrong with you?" So then
he replied saying "deleted meme. I didn't mean anything with it and I didn't fully
know about the situation. I realize now it was in sensitive, sorry!" Wasn't the headline Demi
Lovato reportedly overdosed enough for you to maybe not make a bad meme? All you had
to read was a headline, you didn't even have to read the full article. You didn't even have to read a full sentence to
know not to post that meme. And even more recently, a contestant from the hit
reality show The Bachelorette was also under fire after he had favorited offensive memes that were sexist,
homophobic, transphobic and racist on Instagram. The worst part is is that he
was the winning contestant of the show and this information about, you know the
things he liked on Instagram wasn't revealed until the Bachelorette had
already chosen him. So they were already together when the info came out. A lot of
fans of the show were not happy that he was chosen the winner of love. He sort of
apologized on the finale of the show, but I feel like he apologized more
for getting caught and not apologizing for what he actually liked on Instagram.
Evidently, the couple worked through it though. Video: "Instagram situation, I don't condone that
and I know that he stands by his apology and he was feel so bad for everyone that
he did offend and you know, he didn't mean it, but I just want to move forward
and to learn and to grow." What a great test for a newly engaged couple to go
through. Personally, I would say "bye! We only knew each other for a month on a
television show anyway, not much to lose here." It's too bad these memes are even
made in the first place, the internet sucks. So, do you guys think cardi B should have made an official apology
whether she posted that meme or not? Let me know in the comments, thanks for
