Tegan and Sara speak out against Odd Future. (Kyle Gustafson/FTWP)- Canadian pop duo Tegan & Sara have issued perhaps the most forceful and notable rebuke off rap crew Odd Future and its leader,Tyler, the Creator, for misogynist and homophobic lyrics. “When will misogynistic and homophobic ranting and raving result in meaningful repercussions in the entertainment industry?” the statement asks?

This has always been a sort-of official rule that was casually enforced, but now there is a “no tolerance” policy. Next weekend’s sold-out WMZQFest will serve as quite a test of the new policy.
