Tyler, the Creator and his Odd Future crew are the most talked-about phenomenon in rap and indie circles lately. A lot of that talk has to do with their deliriously, surreally offensive lyrics; rape and murder are common tropes, as are anti-gay slurs. Sara Quin, half of Tegan and Sara, took to the Tegan and Sara website on Friday to post ["A Call for Change"](http://teganandsara.com/news/a-call-for-change/ ""A Call for Change"" ) about Tyler and all the hype he's getting from the media. It's less about Tyler, really, and more about the enthusiastic response to Tyler.

Quin writes:

As journalists and colleagues defend, excuse and congratulate 'Tyler, the Creator,' I find it impossible not to comment. In any other industry would I be expected to tolerate, overlook, and find deeper meaning in this kid's sickening rhetoric? Why should I care about this music or its 'brilliance' when the message is so repulsive and irresponsible?... The more I think about it, the more I think people don't actually want to go up against this particular bully because he's popular. Who sticks up for women and gay people now? It seems entirely uncool to do so in the indie rock world, and I'll argue that point with ANYONE.

On his Twitter, Tyler responded to the post in predictably fucked up fashion:

"If Tegan And Sara Need Some Hard Dick, Hit Me Up!"
