I avoid brocialist music the same as I avoid brocialists.

If anybody's interested, the downvote was just a visiting mass-downvoting fash.

Is that what that was? I saw some of the stuff I wrote in the free chat get downvoted and just assumed some SWERF got pissy.

In the few cases where they use it to make a point about it specifically, sure. Akin to the Nirvana song Rape Me, where he's not using it as a threat but to say something about rape more or less. Most cases though I doubt they are doing this.

Depends on how the word is used. The n-word used in rap music isn't necessarily problematic because of the context of meaning with which it is intended. However, that doesn't apply obviously to all examples of slurs being used - sometimes they are indeed used as slurs rather than with a different intent. In those latter kinds of cases, they should probably be avoided.
