“I’m not afraid to call myself out. In listening back to this podcast, I realized that I didn’t touch on a very important question that I should have been asking myself: how do you justify caring about women’s rights with not being up in arms about Odd Future’s lyrical content? It’s a complex issue, and one I unwittingly avoided because sometimes I’m not very smart. The answer isn’t an easy one, obviously. It has something to do with the idea of a “Goblin.” While it may seem as though Tyler’s one-word album titles are throw-aways, there is something about them that cuts to the heart of their intent. Bastard was full of self-loathing and outward hatred, the pain of the abandoned. Goblin, on the other hand, would only have been more accurately named “Troll.” It’s mischiveous and a little bit evil, with that evil refracted through a Lord of the Rings-size lense. For Tyler, it seemed our outrage was his Precious. Part of my lack of outrage also involved the fact that Tyler was equal opportunity with his violence, pointing it at people of every color and creed, including a skit where he murdered his own friends. Does the fact that we picked out the violence against homosexuals and women say more about him or more about us? And how do we determine the boundaries of what’s okay to parodize and what isn’t? If Tyler was dismembering and sexually assaulting men would we care less? I don’t have the answers, but because I didn’t on the podcast, I felt it my responsbility to bring up the questions.” - Chris Bosman (@racecarbrown)
