"writing responsibly"? What the heck is that even supposed to mean?

Ugh. I have heard that term thrown around so many times in the last week or so. And considering how clearly she defines many of the other terms in her essay it is odd that 'writing responsibly' comes off as pretty vague.

The whole thing just makes me flash back to the time when Eminem was new and people kept telling him he needed 'more responsible lyrics' because the listeners might interpret them as literal acts - which was just a nice way of saying he needed to self-censor.
