Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I cannot believe all these billionaires turn out to be r*pists, I CANNOT!

Oh Hai Elon!

we already knew he was sexually harassing his employees at his fashion company by making them look at hardcore porn for "inspiration". didn't know it was this bad but can't say I'm surprised in the least

I predict this won't affect his status and artists will continue to work with him. every single artist with a feature or production credit on this nazi predator's album is dead to me, fuck every last one of them

Kanye apologists will be like, “his old shit’s still good tho”

I reject the "separate art from artist" treat defending mantra and as time goes on I'm more loud and direct about it.

I feel the same way about the celebrities and pop singers who endorsed Kamala

"separate art from artist"

It's also the most disingenuous shit ever. If you separate art from the artist, what the fuck are you left with?

Generally, what a typical treat defender wants you to see: just spectacle, noise, sensation. No subtext. Nothing else derived from it but cheap brain chemical releases.

That's bullshit, of course. They absorb the messages even if they're not aware of what they're absorbing... or don't care.

For example, especially now, the kind of people that continue to run interference for Kanye West tend to be soaked in the same kind of predatory narcissistic mentality as their would-be god... if it wasn't there already.

100% he’s gonna blame the jews for this

[–] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yep, not surprised at all. Damn can I even enjoy Kanye's music ironically anymore?

[–] ahriboy@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Kanye West might face the same consequences R. Kelly did.
