no one i listen to drops as many fbombs or references to raping as tyler, though, so im fairly comfortable with my decisions
― D40 (D-40), Thursday, 12 May 2011 01:43 (fifteen years ago)
he also calls his fans faggots and calls the rest of odd future faggots. he uses the word faggot a lot, but it's definitely not always angry. whether that changes anything is up for debate, i guess.

oh man, plz to examples of 'murderous thugs'
you're really gonna suggest that no pop artist has ever capitalized on the romance of crime, even murder? that no one has ever promoted the idea that they're a bad man who does bad things, and that there's something impressive about that? come the fuck on.

btw, get one 4chan, as tyler clearly has and submerse yourself in that world of newfags and oldfags and trollfags and you can get a sense of how it must seem weird to him that people find this objectionable

this sopranos show is just like listening to Beenie Man say he wants to exterminate the gays
surely debatable on a moral level, though we've collectively decided to be okay with it (me too! shit IS awesome!)

i like westerns that have gunfights & gun battlesbut id be a bit put off if there was a graphic rape scene & it would prob make me very uncomfortablenot saying it couldnt be done to make a point, but tyler isnt sergio leone or ennio morricone

xp thats' not apologizing for tyler or justifying anything; it's just cromagnon online youth culture fucking with words and he happens to be part of itsome future president is almost certainly drawing dicks on some passed out guy's face now2012 can't get here fast enoughhttp://urbanmecca.net/news/wp-content/uploads/sanfordson_history.jpg

okay, wait. i'm talking specifically about artists who deliberately strive to create the impression that their tales of crime & murder are really real and who cultivate a romantic mystique around their supposed misdeeds. you know, like jean genet...

all musicians are simply performers enacting "creative" narratives, none of it is ever real at all, ever? no one means it and no one doesn't?
bullshit. some performers work hard to ensure that their claims about themselves are taken seriously. others do not. that we notice this doesn't make us "scared" of anything. your insinuation is depressing, though predictable. thanks, man.

i think its possible to say that tyler doesn't mean it and is a product of 4chan's world of young people and still think his lyrical content is ugly and corrosive and even then still like listening to his music

actual gay men and women get beaten and raped and excluded from privileges that straight society enjoys without even having to think about it, so how "4chan/Vice culture" feels about old squares doesn't make a goddamn bit of difference, straight people using hateful language is unacceptable because it perpetuates a tradition of exclusion & you know this & to pretend that this or that heteronormative subculture can front like it's "beyond" all that is bullshit.

yeah, no fucking doy doy, aero. i assumed we all knew that here. i'm not saying tyler's thinking is RIGHT. of course it's unenlightended and ridiculous and bigoted total bullshit. i'm saying this is a reason why a 19 year old in 2011 thinks a little differently than the thirtysomething message board posters picking him apart.

i'm amazed and kind of disappointed by all the focus on tyler's homophobic language itt. disappointed by everyone who wants to make it Big Important Issue Number One. relative to tyler's violent misogyny, it's trivial, hardly worth mentioning. that he throws around the word "faggot" may be offensive, but it's nothing compared to goblin's pervasive, ugly and often vicious debasement of women ("bitches", what have you).
there's a massive hypocrisy at work in anyone who finds cause for offense in a few homophobic slurs but not in the ENDLESS jokes about raping and murdering women. i wonder whether people are channeling so much aggression into the former to avoid having to confront the latter.

p sure everyone that's registered any kind of discomfort with his use of the word 'faggot' isn't like well yeah all the rape stuff is fine

― flopson, Thursday, 12 May 2011 02:44 (fifteen years ago)
sure, but that's only part of it. as hate speech goes, "faggot" = "bitch". but we've been getting an awful lot of mileage out of disapproving of only one of those two words over the last couple hundred posts. and the words themselves are nearly irrelevant relative to the sentiments they're used to express. there's basically no overt homophobia on this record. tyler even subverts his own use of the word. "faggot," repeatedly. but the misogyny (which is by no means limited to rape jokes) seems to be getting a pass.
