Summary

Iranian pop star Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy after the supreme court overturned a prior five-year prison sentence.

Tataloo, who had been living in Istanbul since 2018, was extradited to Iran in 2023 and has since been detained.

He also faces charges of promoting “prostitution” and spreading “propaganda” against the Islamic Republic.

The verdict is not final and can still be appealed.

Once a figure courted by conservatives, Tataloo gained fame for his controversial music and tattoos.

    Using the r slur as a way to imply someone or something is stupid is associating the people who actually experience ableism with stupidity, just like calling a straight man who likes cooking the f slur would be homophobic, not because you’re insulting a gay man, but because you’re using a term for gayness as an insult.

    It isn’t that hard to understand, so just stop. That is a slur and I don’t want to be reminded of ableism everyfuckingwhere I go.

      By that logic, people should just never call others stupid, moronic, imbeciles, or idiots?

      Calm down. Everyone knows Websters changed the definition of faggot to refer to loud and obnoxious Harley-Davidson riders in 2009.
