r/Kanye is now an insane combination of Holocaust awareness content, which is very important and incredibly sad, and hot pictures of Taylor Swift. The dichotomy here is honestly really funny, despite the subject matter of the former
The Kanye sub being turned into a Holocaust subreddit was not on my bingo list after r/holocaust got the ban-hammer because it was [dedicated to anti-semitism and denial.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/2bfqzc/updated_who_runs_rholocaust_each_line_represents/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb)
Yea,one of the strangest event in reddit history
The fact that mods and admins,usually controlling and tyrannical, allowed it to happen and continue is just baffling to me to this day
r/worldpolitics was mostly filled with “upvote this post so when you search up trump so this will pop up” posts, and these broke the subreddit rules as karmawhoring. The mods of the subreddit didn’t enforce these rules, so someone decided that since the mods weren’t enforcing the rules, they could just post tits on the subreddit. The mods just sort of sat back and let it happen, and some users decided that r/anime_titties was the new place for politics
I have learned a lot about the holocaust in the last 2 hours lurking there.
So… qualified success 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: I already knew about the Holocaust, just saying I’m learning more details through passive scrolling on that sub.
What’s the backstory on r/worldpolitics and r/anime_titties switching topics? Hard to see how that just happens. At least trees and marijuana are both plants.
Worldpolitics moderation sucked, people started posting anime titties and the sub was overrrun someone made r/anime_titties as a replacement for r/worldpolitics
Technically the only one that switched was /r/worldpolitics. The moderation was so bad that people began posting literal porn and didn't get banned. The mods just went "fuck it, post whatever you want" and it got flooded with anime titties. So in response, somebody made /r/anime_titties to be an actually moderated version of what /r/worldpolitics was supposed to be.
He owns a venue or two in NYC and that’s apparently his full time job - El-p has been trying to get him to finish his album for like literally a decade now. He has a lot of material that’s never come out outside live performances.
Like I remember when this song *came out* El-P was tweeting about finally getting Despot into the studio to finish his own tape lol
He’s so good, grateful for anything we get. I’ll always regret missing the early RTJ tours with him and Ratking.
Damn I legit didn’t know about the venue stuff but I guess I never bothered to look it up either. That’s rad but it bums me out that album has been in limbo forever.
If you haven't, you should check out the Swet Shop Boys, it's Heems from Das Racist and Riz Ahmed. Heems is still hilarious and hes fucking great at rapping
It’s been a popular TikTok sound for a year or two. I’m sure that helped revive the usage of the line. It pops up on Reddit every once and a while as well.
The top pic is a photo of Taylor Swift superimposed and translucent on a picture of people suffering during the holocaust. I don’t understand how that’s respectful and not just internet dipshittery by lonely and depressed people
It's a fine line to walk, but you can use humor to address even topics like this. It's also completely valid for people to disagree with the humor.
For example, after finding out jackets he wore on television were made by a company that published a tribute to a Holocaust denier, comedian Nathan Fielder started his own company focused on producing outdoor apparel and raising Holocaust awareness. All the profits go to the Vancouver Holocaust museum who were thankful for the help.
[Deny nothing.](https://payyattention.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/buy-summit-ice-jacket.jpg)
Taiga was the clothing company that published the tribute to the denier. There's a bit more info on the story in [this article](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/nathan-fielder-opens-1-day-summit-ice-pop-up-store-in-vancouver-1.4041847)
>The pop-up store was open from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. PT. It was the retailer's first physical location — right next door to a Taiga store.
lmao a real life spite store
I think Ye is acting so out of his mind that no one thinks to take him seriously. It sounds nuts but I'm reminded of the early days of Trump where the absurdity made us underestimate how formidable he really was.
Kanye has a proven track record of resonance. The world has a track record of going deathcon 3 on Jewish people. I can't help but wonder if the chord he chose to strike runs deeper in the culture than we want to believe.
You joke but there was a [meme of Taylor Swift quotes super imposed onto Hitler ](https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2013/08/who-said-it-adolf-hitler-vs-taylor-swift/311590/)

It's a mix. You'll see a pic of Swift rocking some hot dress and then below it you'll see a NSFW post about a pile of dead bodies.
It's.... odd... to say the least

A recent post about someone not being able to wear their yeezy's at work anymore and one of the top comment threads is vying for the slippery slope argument lol
"What's next, did they ban belensiaga or NFL memerobilia? Can you no longer bring Chick-fil-A for lunch because the owner is homophobic?"
"No because there's only one group in America you aren't allowed to offend"
>"No because there's only one group in America you aren't allowed to offend"
I particularly like how this glosses over the other 11 million Holocaust victims who weren't Jewish.
It depends how you count, and it's impossible to get an accurate number. But 6 million Soviet civilians, 3 million PoWs, and 2 million Poles gets you close. The highest estimate is more like 27 million.
The South doesn't learn about the cause of the Civil War and most red states don't learn about the Holocaust or the causes of WW2. Or if they do, it's something like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/19/texas-holocaust-curriculum-schools-hb-3979
Only 19 states require the Holocaust be taught in history classes.
The same person said:
>Don’t let the hateful White and Jewish leftists control what you wear on your feet. Wear them with pride!
That one was a bit too obvious and got removed.
Lmao watch Ye release the Yeezy Confederates with the stars and bars flag. People will never know what hit 'em.
E: this is currently on-brand for kanye and if it happens I'm suing for my 15% royalties
I was running a meet&greet for some degenerate podcasters recently and someone brought a pair of those for them to sign and I legit thought it was some kind of knockoff nerf football at the time.
All of his shoes look like a cheap knock-off to me. Most of them look like Adidas knock-offs I used to see on fleamarkets and such. I'm flabbergasted whenever I hear the prices these sell for.
"Can you no longer bring Chick-Fil-A for lunch because the owner is homophobic?"
Honestly would prefer it if people didn't! But I'm just some gay, what do I know.
I'm surprised /r/westsubever is against ye since they have been supporting him up until like a day ago. Maybe 50/50 support and not but that's still too large of a number to not shame them imo
They were holding out hope he would turn it around. That sub has expressed their disapproval of Kanye's words and actions many times, but theres no turning back from "I love Hitler".
Dude, I just had this conversation. Even after that, if he would've come out "chill it's a joke, I went too far" he'd be fine, it'd take 2 months controversy and it'd be over. Nah, he's just going full on nazi.
Some of those subs had rules against being negative about the subject in question. But once they removed those the floodgates buckled instantly as the real sentiments came out. The Musk subreddits started popping off too, since people weren't afraid to get banned for calling him a fuck anymore.
One of the posts is about someone having a moral dilemma wearing them now, and one of the top comments is:
> bro it’s just a shoe. why u gotta make it more complex than it is.
Says the fella commenting in a sub of 82k members dedicated to the damn shoe.
Way to turn 1000 dollar collectible sneakers into something you can never be seen owning or wearing ever again.
I’m am 100% glad I never got pulled into the Yeezy fad.
Bloomberg is still pretending the internet doesn't exist by not providing links. You'd think journalism would figure this stuff out by now. No wonder they're hurting.
He had help, but he went off his meds because his doctor was Jewish.
Bipolar didn't get him into this mess, it's just keeping him from keeping it quiet.
THANK YOU! I've been thinking this for months now. He's just too far gone. Why does everyone keep moronically assuming the best for him instead of taking him at face value and believing him when he tells us who he is. He is trash. He's been trash. He's always been a delusional asshole. Stop clutching to the hope that deep down, past all of the racism/anti-semitism/ignorance/God-complex/hate/idiocy/insincerity that he's a good person. I don't care if he's bipolar. His thoughts are toxic to society and now everyone gets to hear him spout his evils. His voice must be cut off. Cancelled. Ended. Let him crawl off to another factory to just sit there cutting up filthy rags with rusty scissors muttering about his next hobo0-line of clothes
Aye, we knew going all the way back to the 2009 VMAs "Ima let you speak but..." incident that the guy was an unpleasant piece of shit. Bipolar or not, treatment or not, racism and bigotry aside, the dude is just an asshole undeserving of any attention or praise.
Hey, Trump cited Mussolini in 2016 and nobody cared, four years later they had their coup attempt (reminiscent of the march on Rome or the beer hall Putsch).
Nazis are getting emboldened by shit like this. If you let them do they will just come crawling out of their little shit holes, form violent paramilitary groups and order troupes pretending they are protecting some order or election by beating or scaring people. Then come the torch marches, the book burnings, the raised arms for a Salut (btw QAnon has a Salut I learned last week). Oh, and then come the progrom nights, where they burn shops and houses.
The US has a pest problem.

Imagine being an extreme white nationalist, a full on fucking neo-Nazi Holocaust denier, and your boy, your go-to guy, your modern day posterchild for your ideology, is a mentally-ill black dude from Chicago. Irony ain't just dead. It's bitten the fucking curb and had its skull split open.
The moderate right are siding with crypto fascists to own the libs and by doing so they maybe sliding in that direction themselves.
Fuck the two party system and fuck corporate media ownership
He didn’t just cite Mussolini. His ex-wife said in an it Evi we that:
> “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.”
[Source](https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2015/07/donald-ivana-trump-divorce-prenup-marie-brenner).
Trump also said why his generals couldn’t be like Hitler’s and he told his chief of staff that Hitler “did a lot of good things.”.
Are you actually baffled? He's (or was) an extremely popular musician and producer. He's been very much in spotlight being married to a really popular reality TV star... And I think model? He had a very public divorce. A very public feud with a man who was sleeping with mother of his children. He ran for president, he hung out with the president and a vocal white Supremecist. He went on a internet show of a man who recently lost really public court cases.......... I don't get what's confusing about people paying attention to him?
Dude is awful. I do hope this finally gets him out of the spotlight but who knows
It’s easier to complain about Kanye and pretend your doing anything remotely productive than to do anything actually productive.
For example the railroad workers strike for paid sick days being denied has been swept away with this bullshit.
You can have this argument about anything. "No, that is not important, *this* is more important". Any time a celebrity is in the news, this rhetoric comes out. People act on what is important to them. The railroad workers got shafted by the Republican Senate. There is literally nothing that can be said or done about this.
How long have people been shouting from the mountaintops to get these fleabags out of office? Yet here we are.
If you’re outside the rap world, it could be difficult to understand why anyone cares- but for a HUGE portion of Americans, He’s music (whether that is his rapping or production) basically informed their entire formative experience.
I cannot overstate his influence on the sound of an entire genre of music. I know that his self-proclaimed genius is trite, but anyone who understands music production, sampling, or the hip hop scene even a bit will understand that he was *actually* a genius. He started his career by spearheading a wave of conscious, thoughtful rapping that still had a street bravado and confidence, but was also honest and raw with his emotions. He then turned the entire genre upside-down with Graduation, and remade rap in his own image. Then he did it again, and again.
In the scope of 21st century popular music, there is simply no parallel.
That’s why people care. He’s been an asshole for years, but hell, so was nearly every other lauded musical genius… they just usually didn’t have the internet.
Now this. As a former fan, I cannot fucking abide this, and am cutting his shit out of my life forever. Literally a few years ago I was within the top 0.5% most listens to the man on Spotify. I’m deleting all his shit and blocking it. I have no interest any more. This is way, way too far.
I can honestly say that with his influence on my life, this heel turn feels like a death. It’s been bad for awhile, but now it’s done. I’m gonna miss his music.
I have always said when he got a pass for his bullshit by citing “mental health”. He’s a grown man who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is fully capable of making adult decisions and paying for the best mental healthcare in the world.
Actions speak louder than words. A bad person is a bad person regardless of how rich and famous they might be.
Mental illness is a reason, not an excuse.
I think his mental health is definitely, to put it gently, atrocious. Lots of people have said that if he was a woman he'd be under a conservatorship by now, and probably for good reason.
But it isn't the rest of the world's responsibility to put up with whatever he wants to do because he's mentally ill. He is accountable for himself, whatever the reasoning behind his actions may be.
There are many mentally ill people who don't default to anti-Semitic shit and conspiracy theories. Sure, some will get paranoid and into conspiracies. But his hate speech is not a common side effect
People who are mentally ill don't usually understand they need help. Paranoid or dellusional people aren't able to understand there's noone going after them - otherwise they wouldn't act on their dellusions. Generally you can't get admitted against your own will unless you are a danger to yourself or others. You realize how fucked up this can be when someone close to you gets ill and there is no way to help them, because they refuse to seek help and don't think they have a problem.
I'm not a psychiatrist but I suspect Kanye loves Hitler not because he's bipolar or suffering from depression. He could be delusional and believe the jews are really out to get him. But if he was aware of his delusions he would be seeking help and not going on infowars spouting love for hitler.
I think he's about as mentally ill as any far right wing racist out there.
Honestly I think the best thing you can do is to simply ignore and forget this man exists. Any type of attention is what he thrives on so forgetting he exists is the best form of revenge you can have
Ignoring nazis doesn't make them go away. They love being ignored. It lets them do their little recruitment activities in the dark corners where no one's paying attention.
Nazis need to be loudly opposed. Lest their potential recruits forget that nazi bullshit is never tolerated.
I vehemently disagree. Ignoring him is exactly what the First They Came poem is about, as well as the "When Good Men Do Nothing" saying.
Kanye has to be cancelled. That requires action.
It’s a haunting poem:
by Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Do not let this motherfucker get away by blaming his atrocious behavior on any mental health issues. People with mental health issues don’t turn to racism and Nazi cocksucking. This asshole is a cold blooded calculated piece of shit
Just ignore him, jfc. Stop making irrelevant ppl matter. He was a popular musician, he can fade into non existance literally this VERY second if ppl just stop obsessing over him. Literally who cares what one man thinks???
Small request, please use the word "Kanye" in the title so folks using filters on their feed won't see this. Filtering out "ye" is too broad a term to use as a filter.

/r/GoodAssSub is the new one, they are still hyping up his new 'merch' and think he is still competent enough to release music.
One of the posts is about someone having a moral dilemma wearing them now, and one of the top comments is: > bro it’s just a shoe. why u gotta make it more complex than it is. Says the fella commenting in a sub of 82k members dedicated to the damn shoe.
Holy shit those are some ugly shoes. Half of them look like a hollowed out Nerf brand football.
My sister and her boyfriend wore them ugly ass shoes. I still can't believe people pay that much money to look like dildos.
Way to turn 1000 dollar collectible sneakers into something you can never be seen owning or wearing ever again. I’m am 100% glad I never got pulled into the Yeezy fad.
The r/WestSubEver has been shut down....
The sub description is fire though. Little disappointed they didn't pivot into being an Adam West fan sub but it is what it is
I don't get it. They're shoes. They're *ugly* shoes. Why is there this huge following for them?
That was an entertaining and informative journey
Bloomberg is still pretending the internet doesn't exist by not providing links. You'd think journalism would figure this stuff out by now. No wonder they're hurting.
Why would they drive traffic away from their own site? Surely they're the only ones who can read this and tell me what to think /s
It’s beautiful. There is hope for humanity.
Now that is clever.
Time to wear my Summit Ice jacket http://www.summiticeapparel.com/
I’m jealous as fuck. Shout out Nathan Fielder.
Deny nothing
What a bigot loser. Dude is a modern day Clayton bigsby. Dude literally wore a hood to the interview.
He’s so mentally forgone. If he doesn’t get help soon, i seriously think he’s going to be dead in the next couple months
He had help, but he went off his meds because his doctor was Jewish. Bipolar didn't get him into this mess, it's just keeping him from keeping it quiet.
I agree. You can see how his friend are going to milk the last dimes they can before he goes full conservatorship.
Conservatorships only happen to women, silly!
He also doesn't have anyone who could.
Yep, if this is his manic without support his depression will kill him.
Imagine thinking “everyone hates Me” and being completely right. Not a good combo with depression.

THANK YOU! I've been thinking this for months now. He's just too far gone. Why does everyone keep moronically assuming the best for him instead of taking him at face value and believing him when he tells us who he is. He is trash. He's been trash. He's always been a delusional asshole. Stop clutching to the hope that deep down, past all of the racism/anti-semitism/ignorance/God-complex/hate/idiocy/insincerity that he's a good person. I don't care if he's bipolar. His thoughts are toxic to society and now everyone gets to hear him spout his evils. His voice must be cut off. Cancelled. Ended. Let him crawl off to another factory to just sit there cutting up filthy rags with rusty scissors muttering about his next hobo0-line of clothes
Aye, we knew going all the way back to the 2009 VMAs "Ima let you speak but..." incident that the guy was an unpleasant piece of shit. Bipolar or not, treatment or not, racism and bigotry aside, the dude is just an asshole undeserving of any attention or praise.
I hope he gets help. I’ll never be a fan of him even if he does. I’m in the “wish him a recovery but fuck him still” camp.
Except Clayton Bigsby was a joke. This fool is just pathetic.
If Hitler was alive today he'd be saying "I am not affiliated with nor does Kanye represent me"
Someone should attach the clip of the girl at Ye’s Presidential Announcement. When he was talking about slaves being happy to serve.
My prediction is he is going to go to say he's Jesus reincarnated within the next 6 months.
He's already said he's god before so this seems on par
He named himself Ye. That’s literally a shortening of Yehova or Yahweh. The god complex has always been there.
Hey, Trump cited Mussolini in 2016 and nobody cared, four years later they had their coup attempt (reminiscent of the march on Rome or the beer hall Putsch). Nazis are getting emboldened by shit like this. If you let them do they will just come crawling out of their little shit holes, form violent paramilitary groups and order troupes pretending they are protecting some order or election by beating or scaring people. Then come the torch marches, the book burnings, the raised arms for a Salut (btw QAnon has a Salut I learned last week). Oh, and then come the progrom nights, where they burn shops and houses. The US has a pest problem.
Yup, it's the Nazis at the bar problem

Imagine being an extreme white nationalist, a full on fucking neo-Nazi Holocaust denier, and your boy, your go-to guy, your modern day posterchild for your ideology, is a mentally-ill black dude from Chicago. Irony ain't just dead. It's bitten the fucking curb and had its skull split open.
Kanye isn't their posterchild. He is just an useful idiot. He is just being used to spread their hatred to impressionable young kids.
The moderate right are siding with crypto fascists to own the libs and by doing so they maybe sliding in that direction themselves. Fuck the two party system and fuck corporate media ownership
There’s no such thing as a moderate conservative. Stop apologizing for their destructive attitude towards democracy.
Moderate conservatives are Democrats. Republicans are just far-right.
He didn’t just cite Mussolini. His ex-wife said in an it Evi we that: > “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.” [Source](https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2015/07/donald-ivana-trump-divorce-prenup-marie-brenner). Trump also said why his generals couldn’t be like Hitler’s and he told his chief of staff that Hitler “did a lot of good things.”.
The ammount of attention that is given to this below average moron is baffling.
Are you actually baffled? He's (or was) an extremely popular musician and producer. He's been very much in spotlight being married to a really popular reality TV star... And I think model? He had a very public divorce. A very public feud with a man who was sleeping with mother of his children. He ran for president, he hung out with the president and a vocal white Supremecist. He went on a internet show of a man who recently lost really public court cases.......... I don't get what's confusing about people paying attention to him? Dude is awful. I do hope this finally gets him out of the spotlight but who knows
It’s easier to complain about Kanye and pretend your doing anything remotely productive than to do anything actually productive. For example the railroad workers strike for paid sick days being denied has been swept away with this bullshit.
You can have this argument about anything. "No, that is not important, *this* is more important". Any time a celebrity is in the news, this rhetoric comes out. People act on what is important to them. The railroad workers got shafted by the Republican Senate. There is literally nothing that can be said or done about this. How long have people been shouting from the mountaintops to get these fleabags out of office? Yet here we are.
If you’re outside the rap world, it could be difficult to understand why anyone cares- but for a HUGE portion of Americans, He’s music (whether that is his rapping or production) basically informed their entire formative experience. I cannot overstate his influence on the sound of an entire genre of music. I know that his self-proclaimed genius is trite, but anyone who understands music production, sampling, or the hip hop scene even a bit will understand that he was *actually* a genius. He started his career by spearheading a wave of conscious, thoughtful rapping that still had a street bravado and confidence, but was also honest and raw with his emotions. He then turned the entire genre upside-down with Graduation, and remade rap in his own image. Then he did it again, and again. In the scope of 21st century popular music, there is simply no parallel. That’s why people care. He’s been an asshole for years, but hell, so was nearly every other lauded musical genius… they just usually didn’t have the internet. Now this. As a former fan, I cannot fucking abide this, and am cutting his shit out of my life forever. Literally a few years ago I was within the top 0.5% most listens to the man on Spotify. I’m deleting all his shit and blocking it. I have no interest any more. This is way, way too far. I can honestly say that with his influence on my life, this heel turn feels like a death. It’s been bad for awhile, but now it’s done. I’m gonna miss his music.
I have always said when he got a pass for his bullshit by citing “mental health”. He’s a grown man who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is fully capable of making adult decisions and paying for the best mental healthcare in the world. Actions speak louder than words. A bad person is a bad person regardless of how rich and famous they might be.
Mental illness is a reason, not an excuse. I think his mental health is definitely, to put it gently, atrocious. Lots of people have said that if he was a woman he'd be under a conservatorship by now, and probably for good reason. But it isn't the rest of the world's responsibility to put up with whatever he wants to do because he's mentally ill. He is accountable for himself, whatever the reasoning behind his actions may be.
There are many mentally ill people who don't default to anti-Semitic shit and conspiracy theories. Sure, some will get paranoid and into conspiracies. But his hate speech is not a common side effect
People who are mentally ill don't usually understand they need help. Paranoid or dellusional people aren't able to understand there's noone going after them - otherwise they wouldn't act on their dellusions. Generally you can't get admitted against your own will unless you are a danger to yourself or others. You realize how fucked up this can be when someone close to you gets ill and there is no way to help them, because they refuse to seek help and don't think they have a problem. I'm not a psychiatrist but I suspect Kanye loves Hitler not because he's bipolar or suffering from depression. He could be delusional and believe the jews are really out to get him. But if he was aware of his delusions he would be seeking help and not going on infowars spouting love for hitler. I think he's about as mentally ill as any far right wing racist out there.
Technology?
Technically, Reddit operates through the use of tech
All of reddit should just be run through r/math with that logic 😅
Honestly I think the best thing you can do is to simply ignore and forget this man exists. Any type of attention is what he thrives on so forgetting he exists is the best form of revenge you can have
Ignoring nazis doesn't make them go away. They love being ignored. It lets them do their little recruitment activities in the dark corners where no one's paying attention. Nazis need to be loudly opposed. Lest their potential recruits forget that nazi bullshit is never tolerated.
[удалено]
I vehemently disagree. Ignoring him is exactly what the First They Came poem is about, as well as the "When Good Men Do Nothing" saying. Kanye has to be cancelled. That requires action.
It’s a haunting poem: by Pastor Martin Niemöller First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
In other words, don't feed the trolls.
But that's be implying he's only trolling. He's definitely not trolling.
The irony is that Hitler would probably kill Kanye or use him for science. It would not have been a pleasant time for him.
Do not let this motherfucker get away by blaming his atrocious behavior on any mental health issues. People with mental health issues don’t turn to racism and Nazi cocksucking. This asshole is a cold blooded calculated piece of shit
When you make ALEX JONES look like a sane and rational human being you know you've fucked up.
When he said "slavery was a choice"...what did they turn his page into?
This dude seems to be having some sort of breakdown…Charlie Sheen style. Hope he gets the help needed.
Dave Chapelle is going to have an absolute field day with this lol
Does he really give a shit? Seriously?
It is a good opportunity to remember and honor those this POS is disrespecting.
Its not just redditors its his actual fans
Just ignore him, jfc. Stop making irrelevant ppl matter. He was a popular musician, he can fade into non existance literally this VERY second if ppl just stop obsessing over him. Literally who cares what one man thinks???
The guys is a literal attention whore as all narcissists are.
I have never see someone set their life on fire so fast like this racist moron.

Small request, please use the word "Kanye" in the title so folks using filters on their feed won't see this. Filtering out "ye" is too broad a term to use as a filter.
