Tyler does not get to decide where, when, and how that term gets used. He’s always passionately claimed he doesn’t dislike gay people, arguing instead that that term is 'just a word,' and that his overuse dilutes its hateful power. You have to work hard to use a word so much. With 15 tracks, that’s an average of 14.2 times per song.
In 2011, the LA rapper and Odd Future figurehead used the word 'faggot' a total of 213 times on his debut album Goblin. Tyler, The Creator has long had to defend himself against charges of homophobia.
