Tyler, The Creator has been banned from Australia, he announced today (July 27) via Twitter.
“T IS NOW BANNED FROM AUSTRALIA,” the rapper writes, “YOU WON @CoralieAlison IM HAPPY FOR YOU <3”
Coralie Alison is the director of operations at Collective Shout, a women’s rights group that petitioned for the Australian government to deny Tyler, The Creator a visa.
(The original article in this thread was published June 16, 2015 and is as follows.)
An Australian activist group is trying to stop Tyler, The Creator from coming to the country because he promotes violence against women, reports faster louder.
The group, Collective Shout, is petitioning prime minister Peter Dutton to deny the Tyler, The Creator a visa. The rapper is scheduled to tour Australia in September.
“He’s a controversial visa applicant,” Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist says to 3AW. “We believe he’s in breach of his visa conditions, which state very clearly that you cannot come here and propagate, vilify or incite discord in the Australian community.”
Australia has started the White Ribbon campaign, a national initiative to stop violence against women. The country observes White Ribbon Day on November 25 to create awareness of the issue. The mission is to make “women’s safety a man’s issue, too.”
“What is the point of trying to stop the epidemic of violence against women when you allow, rollout the red carpet for a singer who glorifies misogyny, degrades women for entertainment?” Tankard Reist says.
She also says the rapper has incited riots, including at SXSW in 2014. She says that even though the rapper has never faced criminal charges, he is still a criminal.
“We believe the damage is done by degrading women,” Tankard Reist says, “by treating them as sex objects, by grooming boys into a sense of entitlement to the bodies of women and girls. Research shows that attitudes influence behavior. He’s contributing to a hostile cultural landscape for women and girls.”
Odd Future, of which Tyler, The Creator is a member, was banned from New Zealand and was deemed “a potential threat to public order.” New Zealand is an island next to Australia.

It will work, unfortunately. We’ve kicked people out for less.
Fuck, we were literally ready to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs.
Unfortunately Australia has become more and more like this.
If people dont like the music, dont go. Are the U.S going to ban Scarface because it makes young african american men want to become drug kingpins?
We even label my home state (Victoria) the ‘Nanny State’.
Also our prime minister is Tony Abbott, not Peter Dutton.
Thats what you think all black kids that watch that movie want to become drug kingpins? Damn they stereo types are eating your brain away….i know you meant no harm but (crikey) that was just horrible…
Damn man he was talking about rapper scarface not movie scarface! You don’t even get sarcasm bruh!

Nope Eminem played there last year & Marilyn Manson has been visiting the country frequently.
Australia cant be that bad if there smart enough not to let his wack ass get in there country
“New Zealand is an island next to Australia” HAHAHAHA you dumb fucks
Wow they actually wrote that? HAHAHAH
I heard on the radio this morning that they haven’t banned him yet, just reviewing his visa.. a few years ago didn’t they nearly reject snoop dog? No matter if you like this music or what, you can’t denie that theses artists draw crowds
I’m not a Tyler, The Creator fan but this is ridiculous.
I’m getting more and more embarrassed to live in this shithole. Glad I let less than 2,000 people device who I can and cannot see in concert.
This is more racist than anything but the guise of feminism makes it all OKAY. That woman has no clue.
It seems these fuckin’ Islands got issues with Rap music….fuck em all!!!
Peter Dutton is not the prime minister. Holy shit do some basic research.
Literally fucking everybody involved in this article is an ignorant cunt especially whatever lazy piece of fucking nugget wrote this filth
Not Australia retards
FYI: Organization is called Collective Shout not Collective Sound as it is called in the sub-heading
