"I'm one of the least homophobic guys" - Tyler The Creator
Quote:
It was a period in time where all i wanted to do was read about different dictators across the world. The way that one man could control so many brains always intrigued me. This opened a door to a lot of things, one of them being the Nazi regime during the 40s. Soaking my brain with as much info as i could on the subject, i pondered to myself if there was anyone still pushing this Nazi propaganda during these days? That is when i came across Neo-Nazis, The Ku Klux Klan and The White Nationalist Community. To make it simple, its just a group of Caucasians who take pride in being white. Nothing wrong with that correct? But the weird thing is that its primarily supported by White Supremacist organizations.( KKK, Aryan Nation, Etc)
Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that these guys aren’t fans of Blacks, Gays, Asians or anything else that doesn’t fit in “white” box. Now having the thought process that i have, i asked myself some questions: What if a black guy wore this logo on a shirt? Would he be promoting self hate? Would he be taking the power out of a shape? What if a gay guy wore this on a shirt? Would he promoting Homophobia? Then BAM! I Had it. Throw a little rainbow in the logo ( i still wonder, who was the guy that said a rainbow is the gay symbol? thats another article stay tuned) and take a photo with a white guy in it and we have an amazing photo. The thing that tops it off is the homo erotic tone of the hand holding, which to some degree HAS to piss off the guys who takes this logo serious. This made the photo even more important to me, because it was me playing with the idea of taking the power out of something so stupid. Or maybe my whole idea on this is stupid. Who knows, but why not try it out? Also, ever since my career started, ive been labeled as a homophobe, simply because of my use of the word ******. Again, trying to take the power out of something, I WAS NEVER REFERRING TO SOMEONES SEXUAL PREFERENCE WHEN USING THAT WORD. I mean, i’m legit one of the least homophobic guys to walk this earth but, most people just read the surface. But maybe someone will see this photo and say “ hey, he’s just mocking gays” or “ this has a negative undertone to it, he is still pushing this homophobic whatever the **** it is”. What ever it is, i just wanted to give you guys some background info on the design before you purchase the shirt. You should know what you are wearing. be safe, love.

Saying it, and showing it are 2 different things.
Eminem, Tyler, A$AP, etc I'm tired of these rappers getting called out on homophobic lyrics then pulling the "but it's not meant that way...I don't hate gays!". I'm not saying he isn't sincere, but just saying you don't have a problem doesn't erase the fact you threw the derogatory terms to begin with. If you don't want people calling you homophobic then don't use ******, plain and simple.

He is an idiot. It's not the intent of the word that matters, it's who you've hurt/the outcome. He doesn't get to "take power" from that word. Apply that same logic to white people using the N-word......just no.

There's literally no other meaning for the f*g**t word other than to be completely awful to gays.

It's almost like it's a word meant to purposefully demean homosexuals.

Eh, whatever. I don't listen to his music, so it doesn't affect me.

I don't like the F word at all, even when it's other gays saying it, and coming up with some wack excuse doesn't make it okay. "It's okay I'm not homophobic!!11!1!1" no

If you have to say you're not, you probably are 
Rappers in general don't realise how much influence they have on their fans. If you're not homophobic, keep it out of your songs

Oh it's just a word rooted in hate and used to demean gay people but if YOU don't see a problem with it then it's all okay

Eminem isn't homophobic, though. He even states so in his songs:
"Homophobic? Nah, you're just heterophobic"

Well, as long as someone isn't calling me one I'm okay with it being used in songs.

I'm not condoning his usage of it at all, but he has showed me he's smart and his true intent.
I wouldn't call him a homophobe but I wouldn't say it's okay to use that hideous word either.
