Talking to MTV News, the Odd Future leader claimed that even his gay fans are not bothered by the derogatory term and confessed that he doesn't care what people think of his approach to music.
"Well, I have gay fans and they don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you," Tyler explained.
"If you call me a n***a, I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a s**t."
The 'Yonkers' rapper was arrested following a show in Los Angeles last month and charged with disturbing the peace.
Eminem recently praised the Odd Future crew for "pushing boundaries" with their lyrical content.

How about rancid peabrained biggot? does he mind that name?
Pushing the boundaries of *HATE* is all you are doing, using a name associated with gays as a derogotory name and thus encouraging your fans to do the same.
Scanning his lyrics he does us this particular *F* word a LOT. Methinks the lady doth rap too much.
Mind you I do quite like his lyric about "stabbing Bruno Mars in his esophagus".

what a dunce, seriously, of course it doesn't offend his gay fans, otherwise they wouldn't be his FANS! that's the nature of the term Tyler. It does however offend a high portion of the people exposed to his music, including people who aren't gay themselves.
