Okay, I wasn’t going to make a post about this. I really wasn’t. But unfortunately, this guy will NOT shut his mouth. It’s curious, isn’t it, that every time he goes on a problematic rampage, the Kardashian Klan is debuting or launching a child or business? (Two things that are interchangeable in their world. If it’s a girl anyway.) His last two major spirals have coincided with the release of new seasons of The Kardashians on Hulu.
Now, I’m no conspiracy theorist and I don’t believe that Ye is intentionally making a spectacle to make his ex wife and her family look better. I do, however, think that each time Kimothy and Ko. are in the news, he has to prove to himself that he is “bigger” and subsequently starts to stir shit up.
In essence, I think everything this little tiny man does is to feed his fragile, starving ego.
But for some reason, in America we make excuses for a man’s insatiable ambition and inflated confidence. We cry “mental illness!” and praise “independent thinkers” as long as they have something between their legs. Because “boys will be boys,” right? Yet women of equal stature have been cancelled for much less.
In fact, Kim herself received much more intense and long-lasting backlash for her “get your ass up and work” comment than Kanye has experienced for any of this antics.
Bette Midler (aged 76) recently received intense backlash for a tweet that could be interpreted as TERF-y. (Trans-exclusive radical feminist)
Constance Wu nearly torpedoed her entire career for coming across as ungrateful on Twitter back in 2017.
We haven’t seen Katherine Heigl in what feels like a decade because of a rumor that she was “difficult.”
Yet year after year, Kanye Omari West slut shames, fat shames, doxxes, threatens, mocks, ridicules and intimidates people (mostly women) and receives no real consequences.
This is a plea for entertainment news media to mute that fool and let the MAGAts have him! He and Tucker Carlson are a match made in hell.
I’ve previously released an episode of The Spin Cycle Podcast on this stark divide between the way Cancel Culture affects men versus women in Hollywood. You can listen to that here.
And one more time for good measure: Fuck you, Kanye.
