Noah Beck responds to backlash over \u201chomophobic\u201d Sway LA TikTok YouTube: Josh Richards[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star and Sway House member Noah Beck has addressed the massive backlash he\u2019s received after taking part in a group video that some critics are deeming \u201chomophobic.\u201d Noah Beck is a recent addition to the Sway House, a content group full of TikTok and YouTube stars who collaborate on video ideas and other social media projects, much like the Hype House and Team 10. While the Sway House is full of super-popular influencers, the group has come under fire as of late, after posting a video of themselves dancing to a song with motions that many critics are finding offensive. The video in question shows Beck and the Sway boys dancing to Ayo Eisha\u2019s song \u201cEisha No!\u201d which features a lyric that says, \u201cLook at the way that I walk.\u201d Noah Beck\u2019s original TikTok which many are calling homophobic. Audio has been removed due to copyright. Song was Ayo Eisha\u2019s \u201cEisha No!\u201d, specifically the part where they say \u201cLook at the way that I walk\u201d. pic.twitter.com\/f9w6Aa9Tmz \u2014 Def Noodles (@defnoodles) August 10, 2020 During this point in the song, the group walks in a way that some feel are mocking gay men, with commenters finding the dance moves offensive and homophobic. One commenter spoke out on the issue underneath the original TikTok, writing, \u201cKinda sus bro,\u201d to which Beck replied, \u201cHAHA, that\u2019s the point silly.\u201d Both the original TikTok and Beck\u2019s response to the subject have been met with intense scrutiny online \u2014 but some are finding the tea around this particular scenario to be somewhat dry. While many are calling out the dance moves as offensive, others are debating if the \u201cwalk\u201d wasn\u2019t simply meant to poke fun at sassy women, while others debate that the choreography is merely goofy, in general. \u201cI don\u2019t understand how it\u2019s homophobic,\u201d one user wrote via Instagram. \u201cThat\u2019s basically people saying that only gay men can act feminine, when that\u2019s not true, \u2018cause guys can act feminine and not be gay.\u201d \u201cIt isn\u2019t even funny,\u201d another argued. \u201cI\u2019m not even gay, but those type of boys would\u2019ve definitely bullied the \u2018feminine\u2019 gay kids and are doing this for a trend.\u201d While neither Beck nor Sway LA have said more at the time of writing, Beck and the House remain a subject of scrutiny as users continue to weigh in with their takes on the controversial video, which boasted over 8 million views before being deleted due to apparent copyright infringement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
