Dude’s being really defensive even though he’s criticized artists in the past for being right wing. It’s times like this I’m reminded that he’s been on multiple v*ush streams too.

    he’s a immensely influential figure to a large part of American culture(who are crucially politically illiterate by design) and his making nazi shit out to not be a big deal has a large possible of being really damaging wrt to people thinking of it as just another pov.

    Hate to tell you this, but Kanye meat riders have been psudeointellectual reactionaries since forever. They’ve always believed he was some persecuted messiah for speaking The Truth who’s being hunted by the deep state. His fans did QAnon before QAnon. People thinking his reactionary views are just different perspectives isn’t new. He really is just a black Trump lol

      Eh he definitely has his core Stan’s that are that way, but generally speaking plenty of people who don’t worship the ground he walks on also respect him in a normal way which is most people I’ve known in my life. I think you’re overly emphasizing the redditor kind of fan he has but that’s like focusing on Twitter for a representation of americas politics. The black trump shit is also relatively recent so even if a contingent of his fans were reactionary they weren’t carrying water for overt fascists until this shit, so it’s getting worse and should be resisted by people who purport to give a shit
