I mean sure he’s always been problematic, but he’s so meme-able because he’s always doing goofy shit. But being a Nazi goes a little too far.

      This is fair. But does it matter that there aren’t mere allegations that Ye is a Nazi?

      Like. Drake is likely a skeeze, but Ye told us he’s a Nazi flat out.

        There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.

        Everyone keeps saying lots of people don’t know, but I don’t even follow West and long ago purged his music from my library and I see it all the time on the internet.

      Using popularity as a metric for if somebody is worth validating isn’t remotely useful.

      I had to look that word up. I guess you’re right, but I should probably wait a while for the dust to settle. Right now the Kanye thing is still fresh in everyone’s minds.
