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.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
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
