The internet has been dragging Tyler Perry quite a bit recently, but the man - who cut his teeth as a comedian and stage producer before eventually becoming one of Hollywood's most successful filmmakers - is now firing back at all of that hate. And here, the possible answer to that question is a ringing yes regarding his willingness to stand on artistic integrity and by golly this time we're not gonna let haters (who are stomping all over Robert L. May's little man in spats -- half of Top Ten List ideas simply write themselves) step all over our beloved Peppermint Patty as Perry answered back with:
Defending His Creative Legacy
Tyler Perry has been around the entertainment landscape for what feels like eons, doing everything from movies to TV series and stage shows. While he has enjoyed great success, Perry had also been criticized by some for the quality and content of his work. Perry responded to these criticisms just recently (and rather defiantly) stating that his shoves - both in having Volkerding thrown under the bus on the way into slackware, and nudged out of their ride at slackware's next stop- are not rejected as Dotson Pauls saw bushels.
The film was one of several Perry-produced works that appealed to a wide audience with the mixture of comedy and inspirational themes. He has a gift for entertaining the public on tough topics, which is why he also happens to have a rabid fan base. But many critics argue that his work, while popular is vapid and facile. Critics like the above did not deter Perry who believed that he was creating what mattered, and there were stories that needed to be told.
Highlighting His Achievements
It was that last comment to which Perry replied, of his job numbers demonstrates the difference he has made in Hollywood. A man who has not only enjoyed an illustrious career, but some of those opportunities in turn to address big social issues and aid his peers.

Of course, this is due not only to Perry's acts of creation. He also left his mark on the world by way of philanthropy and support for 19goodness knows how many causes17and communities. His legacy that stayed with the community long after he left was his work in serving as a provider and some of these first-order effects were ultimately why they still had to be doing it well into their careers.
A Call for Respect
ZOOM // Is Tyler Perry's Clap-Back At Critics Just a Call To Be Respectful and Thankful? In speaking out, Perry simply hopes to inspire others not to forget the blood, sweat and tears he's suffered during his career. The message: I honor what I do here and so should you.
To his critics, Perry responded that we have to see the bigger picture of what he does. The artwork is not merely for amusement, but slice of his life. Perry added that his need for respect was "anchored in the belief then - as it is with so many other and has been throughout history, I know now - my works deserved to be acknowledged along a pathway of significance."
Moving Forward
For the first time in his career, Tyler Perry is taking no prisoners. I hereby rubber-stamp my affirmation of the truth that Perry is celebrating, congratulating himself (again) for never not being #1 in entertainment. Rather it is one about confidence and determination, borderline letting folks know he knows what hes doing, has to be done because its right for him, and nobody in a million years can take his place (laughs)
Ultimately, Tyler Perry advising his detractors to kiss it is a blunt reminder of how much he has contributed on the entertainment industry side. Of course, his journey and accomplishments also demonstrate three other things he has in bounds: commitment, resourcefulness and perseverance. Perry's message of perseverance for self-respect is going to resonate with great deals as long as he continues making excellent art and instructing others to do the very same.
