How We Talk About Kanye West Isn’t Working I don't think this piece holds him as responsible as it should, but I also think it's a very well-written meditation on the way most media has mishandled (and fed into) someone publicly struggling.
do you not see the irony of posting about how TMZ sucks for not giving him privacy than posting a bunch of gossip insider crap about the inner workings of their family and how they dealing with it all? like who cares about "sources". no one needs too know this stuff
He could withstand relentless bullying, but it was having to name his top five rappers that drove him away from the site
Look, this person def showed their ass in this thread, but when someone says they stepped away from the forum for their mental health maybe it's not cool to keep harassing them with your top five "joke"
I get that, but he kept yelling at folks in here for being empathetic towards Kanye being bipolar and seemingly not understanding that it's something serious that should not be disregarded. I know we all want to respect folks who work on their mental health but when that same person shits on someone else going through their own problems it's strange. But that's obviously just how I see it.
I don't see the issue with asking @Punisher316 his top five? Rather than continuing to argue with him or pick on him, people are trying to engage in a discussion about music. He came back on his own accord and immediately starting pointing out posts from last week when people were being mean to him. If he doesn't want to name his top 5, whatever, but don't come back just to continue to prove your point from last week and expect everyone to "respect your mental health"
maybe it was a bad joke to keep going about top 5 but acting like you're on the right side of history when you were in here literally saying you were fine with whatever bad things would happen to kanye (a person I hate and said as much in this thread), and by extension his family, because of his networth but making a joke about your top 5 is a step across the line regarding your mental health is fucking bullshit, fuck outta here
i care about your mental health. you positioning yourself as on the right side here when this literally all started with you directly attacking someone’s mental health is what i’m against, actually.
Whatever, they’re gone now. If the site was taking that big of a toll on their mental health it was probably the right decision. There is a very weird trend on this site (Or I guess the internet in general) of becoming incredibly antagonistic and saying some hateful shit and then turning the tables like that the moment there is pushback. Super manipulative shit. If they’re really struggling, I wish them the best.
