Can't see a Kanye thread - if he wasn't finished already, today's the last straw, surely?

Just that really

Sad that a man with his talent in music, producing and fashion design could be so monumentally stupid.

This is it for him now and there is no way back. Good.

I feel for his kids.

and being mentally ill does give you the right to take people’s dignity away. If he’s sick then they should give him meds and put him in a place until he gets well.

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:35

He has more than enough money for self help

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:42

Do you know what's really sad? ... That people obviously really mentally unwell in society, can be laughed at, mocked, and have the piss taken vs getting actual medical help. Because they're rich... kayne might be seriously nipped, but he's still a human being.

Do you know what’s worse. People thinking that he does is ok. It’s not ok. Do you see what he made his wife wear to the Emmy’s. That’s one delusional woman who is either brainwashed or on drugs, or forced to do that. Sick

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 03:00

You can’t keep protecting people that hurt other people bc they have money. It’s been going on way too long long.

I'm still stuck figuring out how an unknown Australian architect ended up with him, and dressing the way she does. I don't think she is being bullied particularly , though she looks a bit spaced out sometimes, she could come home if she wanted, but how the heck did that happen and why aren't her family flying over and grabbing her now. It's very odd. And also how is Kanye so rich, I couldn't name one of his songs ( maybe Golddigger ?) and did anyone actually buy any of that awful fashion line , so where's the money coming from?

Well, exactly this? The man is worth $$$$ but he's mentally unwell. He's stated that himself, then retracted it. Cos he's mentally unwell 🙄

Mental health is a leveler no matter if you're rich or poor. Just because he states "I'm sane! And white!"... I'm pretty sure we can say he's not white, any more than agreeing he's actually a Nazi advocate, or hating Jewish folk, or saying rain water is illegal. Or whatever he's spouting today?...

The man is unwell. Clinically unwell. He's not served by having the money for not being Sectioned.

It's been said a few times on here already but it's worth repeating - it's not what he's saying that is so concerning as everyone is aware he is clearly manic, it's how many likes he's getting for the despicable things he's saying that's deeply disturbing and extremely worrying.

Isn't it easy to check the profile of those who liked posts to see who they are and what they're about? Perhaps people can do that and call them out too - name and shame.

penelopelondon · 08/02/2025 10:13

Apparently there's a couple of celebrities out there trying to show us that misoginy, mental health problems and racism are "chic and glamorous" and they have a full display on Vogue to proof it.

Being thin with big boobs is the next in thing i think

Check out Kylie jenner, I think she's got the pulse for this next trend

They come across as a coke fuelled rants from a narcissistic man, over mental illness.

Kim's revelation about his bipolar was a bit of a PR stunt, IMO.

Plus a lot of people sadly agree with him, he's not alone in his head with the horrible views he shares

X is that bad these days that his posts didn't even seem that shocking to me - you only have to spend 5 minutes on there to see even worse. This week I've seen posts calling for Palestinian babies to be raped - celebrating the death of children if they're on the wrong 'side' -posts from both sides calling each other rats that need to be exterminated.

I suspect a lot of these posts are done by agitators trying to garner support for their cause by posing as the opposition and writing really despicable shit. In fact I think a lot of X accounts are just agitators - it's a depressing place to scroll.

Kanye is small fry in comparison, he's just an arrogant overgrown toddler wanting attention - there's lots of them on there unfortunately.

All social media definitely brings out the racists (even The Sewell Report pointed that out.)

X is by far the worst though. It’s why I laugh when people accuse all those who left of being “snowflakes”.
Yeah sorry I don’t wish to spend my time on a bigger StormFront.

Somebody his comments received 70k likes and that was “shocking”.

Maybe on The Guardian website or BlueSky it would be shocking. On X it seems low.

It just feels to me that a number of people are just now realising how normal racism is and I genuinely wonder where they have been.

In case anyone is reading this and is unclear what he has done, he has posted a lot of blatantly anti-semitic statements.

I'm shocked at the lack of outcry regarding this.

I have seen several news stories on it.

JHound · 08/02/2025 14:03

Poppyseeds79 · 08/02/2025 02:14

He's worth nearly 3 million, are you?

He's not a big fat nobody. Hence folk comment 😅

That shows how much his racist rants have cost him. He used to be worth far more than $3m!

His music.

He was (is?) a very successful rapper. It’s maybe not your style but for rap fans his music was very popular.

I'm a huge supporter of free speech. He can say what he wants - no matter how unpalatable it is.

The issue is other people's reaction to his words - or lack of. So many have been cancelled and lost their careers for less. How the hell does he get invited to the Grammys (to show off his naked wife)? How is his music still played?

I'm Jewish and abhor him. My concern, as always, is everyone else's silence in the face of antisemitism. Again. The silence to, and inaction against, literally led to the holocaust.

Kanye is one (possibly unwell but definitely) racist man. Why isn't everyone else decrying what he's said (again), rather than many shrugging their shoulders and saying "Well that's Kanye; he's ill. Why isn't anyone stopping him?".

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 08/02/2025 15:06

I feel like nothing can be done about him, the same with trump and musk

He's had his sponsorship deals finished and everyone who matters shamed him the last time

He's got nothing left and is only being used by musk etc. Once they're finished, he's in for a real breakdown

Nb is he really only worth 3million?

If you're a huge supporter of free speech than surely you should be a huge supporter of free silence as well? It seems weird that you're quite happy for KW to spout anti semitism but not for people to quietly agree with him, or to not care.

Personally I'm quite content with idea that both speech and silence should have well defined limits.

DisabledDemon · 08/02/2025 17:48

I hope this is the end of this fool. His antics are offensive and if he ever had any talent, it was squandered long ago.

Honestly, can folk not just use X to see?

I tried to post it but Mumsnet obviously scan the photos and it's probably deemed that It can't be shown. He said "I love H1tler. Now what b1tches"

No we won't use X cause maybe we don't want to buy into American "nazi" crap at this moment in time. So us "folk" will pootle along with facts not trump propergander slogans.

He supports trump too. So he's either mentally unbalanced or just a crappy person.

HJ1989 · 08/02/2025 22:06

If this was 'Joe public' then he would have been banned, or faced legal consequences, by now. Just another example of celebrity 'special treatment' 😡

tiredoflondonbutnotlife · 08/02/2025 22:38

@Porcuporpoise I'm a supporter of everyone's free will. I can, however, draw attention to our collective failure to learn from history. It was inaction and silence from the majority that brought about the holocaust more than the active participation of a minority. Never again is now.

But you be silent about Kanye's lack of silence. As is your right.
