Hello, my name is Blake. Today, I have some information that I would like to convey to you. I wish to do so in a calm and polite manner - contrary to usual, I know.
Tyler the Creator is banned in the UK, and activists are trying to get him banned in Australia. Um...
I thought we were past this with musicians. I thought video games were the new target. But I guess a black kid says some offensive things and we have to ban him. Here's the thing: You're a cunt. A fucking retarded cunt who needs a good kick in the head. I don't give a fuck if you're offended. Freedom of speech doesn't end where your feelings begin. Fuck your feelings. Fuck you. You're a piece of shit and I hope everyone you love dies so they don't have to put up with your shit.
You know what? I'm offended by you. Can we ban you? Can you get the fuck out of my country? I don't want kids to have to hear your right wing bullshit. Who gives a fuck if you're offended? Part of being an adult is you don't chuck a tantrum over everything you see that you don't like.
"He's offensive!" Sure. He has lyrics like: "Took karate, mommy told me "Tyler toughen up"
Rihanna haircut, somebody tell Chris Brown to fuck me up."
And: "I'm not an asshole I just don't give a fuck a lot
The only time I do is when a bitch is screaming "Tyler, stop"
Yeah. He was definitely offensive. In 2009, when he first came out, in a song where he and Earl Sweatshirt (the more offensive party in that song) were trying to out offend each other. Now he's pretty tame. He did a song with fucking Kanye West for christ's sake. And Eminem had far more offensive lyrics. I don't see him getting banned from countries. Let's see:
"Slim Shady, Brain Dead like Jim Brady." (google jim brady if you don't get that line.)
"Slim Shady/hotter than a set of twin babies/in a mercedes Benz with the windows up when the temp goes up to the mid 80's.
"I take seven kids from Columbine, stand 'em all in line
Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine
a Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine
and that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time"
But you won't ban him. He's white.
When the fuck did we get so politically correct?
I've been saying this for years. People have been getting more pc with every passing day. The sad thing is no one cares until something they love gets hits.
The reason why Eminem got away with those lyrics is because they came out a decade ago. It's not because he's white. I'm sure if he was still as popular as he was back then, the sjw would be on his ass. There is a lot of "hate white people" bullshit that been's going around for a while too.
He is still popular though. Like, super popular. His albums are stil chart toppers. He's still both as homophobic and misogynistic and no one cares.
The songs that are causing Tyler to be banned came out six years ago. He's pretty tame now.
In my circles, no one talks about Eminem. It may be because my friends & I are old and don't care much about him unless it's his albums from the old days. Also, I would hope he's not rapping about the same stuff he did over a decade ago.
As for Tyler, I don't know a thing about him. I have no idea who that is. I'm sure the Leftists have their reasons for banning him. 
I'll show you pussy footin, I'll kick a bitch in the cunt
'Til it makes her queef and sounds like a fucking whoopy cushion
That lyric was on his last album. He is still pretty huge. He's still selling more than most artists combined.
Look up Yonkers if you want to know who Tyler is. It's his most famous song.
I didn't know. I guess he's still making overly offensive songs and they're still funny.
I'll check out Yonkers.
Guessing it was the rape lyric Tyler's banned for?
Oh the PC life seemed like it was started in the late 90s when everyone seemed to get their feelings hurt over every little thing, and has been running wild since. Do I like Tyler? Hell no, I think he's annoying but he shouldn't be banned for lyrics. People need to use common sense instead of turning every little thing that they don't like into an issue.
I just got that first big Eminem album, Slim Shady LP, and was looking at the song titles. Those alone tell you what you're in for on the album. I remember Ice-T getting flak for that Cop Killer song with his Bodycount group. It probably only helped him sell more records. I don't know what to think about "offensive" lyrics in songs. Sometimes it's for humor and sometimes it just refects the artist's experience. There's way worse stuff in writing and that used to be brought to trial for indecency. I guess it's down to what redeeming value the work has. Is the artist just trying to shock, or are they making some kind of important statement. I don't know. It's entertainment in this example you mention, I suppose. What do we want to allow in that realm? Anything? I'm not sure.
Tyler is a mix of both. He often portrays a character, as Tyler did. Most of the shocking stuff he says he either says because it's funny or because it helps with the portrait he's painting.
Either way, censorship is censorship. It doesn't matter why he's saying it, he shouldn't be banned from a country unless he's committed a crime. Which he hasn't. He's super straight edge, doesn't do drugs or drink. He's just a kid who occasionally says some stupid stuff, and sometimes tries too hard to be edgy.
These 'Back to the Future' type gotchas are quite annoying and seem to be more of a modern cultural thing becuase of the Facebook and Twitter generation. It makes sense when it comes to politicians contradicting themselves, but artist and musicians have always been controversial. And PC police are on both sides, left and right and it didn't start in the 90s. From what I read online about this it seems to be a conservative politician in the UK that banned him, and on the left its Feminist group in Australia.
Oh, and Eminimen does get away with more because he's white.
I Heard about this bs, the funny thing is TTC has been here multiple times since his "offensive" songs.
Anyway these people aren't smart enough to realise that all this does is raise his profile.
I don't like the term SJW but if the shoe fits?
What you described though is why I don't like modern feminism (or the black lives matter movement but that tangential at the moment)
Feminism is fine, women should be treated equally. Everyone should be treated equally. The problem is everyone's views are so fucking extreme these days. I don't think the internet helps. It cultivates groups of like minded people who agree with everything each other says and then when they go elsewhere and someone disagrees with them all hell breaks loose.
2015 is the year everyone became offended. I'm quiet sick of it myself. People bitch and bitch about things or make something out of nothing. That sucks he is getting banned.
Yeah. It's like the 90's all over again, except this time it's young people trying to ban things instead of old out of touch people.
This is nothing new, it's just switched sides. The 1990s is when liberal "PC" started, but censorship has always been a big thing in the US. We had the Hays Code for film from the 1930s to the 1960s, which mean films were very sanitized. We also had the House Un-American Activities Committee censoring anything that was even mildly critical of government and ruining careers over it with the help of collaborators like Ronald Reagan (who was a B-list actor before he was a governor and President) and Johm Wayne. We had Jerry Falwell and Don Wildmon in the 1980s trying to censor anything they could on TV, as well as Congressional hearings on video games. This is nothing new, just a different ox being gored.
The ironic thing is, while the right still creeps from time to time, much of the current politically correct bullshit nowadays comes from the left political spectrum. Ugh, sometimes it really makes me ashamed of being liberal.
