That being said? This sentence has nothing to do with anything...

It's not legitimate because it's targeted at odd future, even though plenty of "mainstream" hip hop artists have gotten away with real homophobia for decades and made plenty of money off it.

Stop with the connection?
It's very relevant because they seem to want to make him their next poster child right now. I've seen countless HT ads featuring Tyler, they're building off the buzz.
What I meant by "That being said" was that many artists who have been sponsored by Hot Topic in the past have featured horrific and shocking lyrics, like Wu Tang Clan. What I meant by the sentence was that I can see the unfairness behind the criticism, but it has a lot to do with the context in which OFWGKTA has been introduced.
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.

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.
