Golf Wangs 2015 Spring/Summer Lookbook mit Anti-Homophobie Shirt inkl. Neonazi-Symbol

Die OFWGKTA Crew hat – zeitlich passend zum Release von Tyler The Creator“™s neuem Album „Cherry Bomb“ – das Lookbook zur Spring/Summer 2015 Collection ihres Golf Wang Labels herausgebracht. Ich mochte schon immer den farbenfrohen Style ihre Klamotten, obwohl ich selbst nichts davon(mehr) tragen würde. Auch die neue Kollektion bestehend Shirts, Long-Sleeves, Soccer Jerseys, Shorts, Bucket Hats, Caps, Skateboards, Rucksäcke, Badetücher und einem Notizbuch gefällt und könnte man hier einfach unkommentiert wiedergeben, wenn Tyler nicht ein Neonazi-Symbol für ein Anti-Homophobie T-Shirts gebrauchen würde. Gemeint ist das Keltensymbolkreuz, das auch für das Logo von White Pride World Wide verwendet wird. Golf Wang hat das Logo mit Regenbogenfarben gefüllt und Golf Pride World Wide getauft. Auf dem Foto im Lookbook trägt Tyler das Shirt Händchen haltend mit einem anderen Kerl.

Tyler wurde in der Vergangenheit sowohl von Tegan & Sara als auch seitens der LGBT Homophonie vorgeworfen. Auf seinem Tumblr gab Tyler ein interessante Statement zum neuen Shirt ab:

It was a period in time where all i wanted to do was read about different dictators across the world. The way that one man could control so many brains always intrigued me. This opened a door to a lot of things, one of them being the Nazi regime during the 40s. Soaking my brain with as much info as i could on the subject, i pondered to myself if there was anyone still pushing this Nazi propaganda during these days? That is when i came across Neo-Nazis, The Ku Klux Klan and The White Nationalist Community. To make it simple, its just a group of Caucasians who take pride in being white. Nothing wrong with that correct? But the weird thing is that its primarily supported by White Supremacist organizations.( KKK, Aryan Nation, Etc) Now it doesn“™t take a rocket scientist to know that these guys aren“™t fans of Blacks, Gays, Asians or anything else that doesn“™t fit in „white“ box.Now having the thought process that i have, i asked myself some questions: What if a black guy wore this logo on a shirt? Would he be promoting self hate? Would he be taking the power out of a shape? What if a gay guy wore this on a shirt? Would he promoting Homophobia? Then BAM! I Had it. Throw a little rainbow in the logo ( i still wonder, who was the guy that said a rainbow is the gay symbol? thats another article stay tuned) and take a photo with a white guy in it and we have an amazing photo. The thing that tops it off is the homo erotic tone of the hand holding, which to some degree HAS to piss off the guys who takes this logo serious. This made the photo even more important to me, because it was me playing with the idea of taking the power out of something so stupid. Or maybe my whole idea on this is stupid. Who knows, but why not try it out? Also, ever since my career started, ive been labeled as a homophobe, simply because of my use of the word faggot. Again, trying to take the power out of something, I WAS NEVER REFERRING TO SOMEONES SEXUAL PREFERENCE WHEN USING THAT WORD. I mean, i“™m legit one of the least homophobic guys to walk this earth but, most people just read the surface. But maybe someone will see this photo and say “ hey, he“™s just mocking gays“ or “ this has a negative undertone to it, he is still pushing this homophobic whatever the fuck it is“. What ever it is, i just wanted to give you guys some background info on the design before you purchase the shirt. You should know what you are wearing. be safe, love.
