So your saying it's bad that a corporate chain that has a long history sponsoring "horrific and shocking" acts decides to continue doing so?

Basically, you're arguing that two wrongs make a right.
If Tegan and Sara don't target everyone, they can't target anyone.
So what if they're targeting Odd Future?
OFWGKTA happens to be the biggest buzzband that's come about in a while, and they have more horrifying lyrics than most groups.
These lyrics can easily be misconstrued with a teenage audience.
Seems legitimate to me.

No, my argument was that they should direct the criticism towards hip hop in general. I hear Lil Wayne on the radio (which gets played to millions of impressionable teens) say stuff like "after i bust a nut on her ill bust my gun and get rid of her"?
I'm all for cultural change in hip hop, just don't target the one group that is actually doing something positive.

By the way, good job with the condescending, pretentious attitude.
Why is it that a normal, rational discussion has to take that tone?
I did very little to provoke a response such as the one you provided.
I'm glad to see that people mature.
