i dont really care for kanyes music since he became outwardly a fucked up dude and started doing irredeemable shit. i find it hard to listen to his stuff in good conscience most of the time. but like. the mania and serious mental illness present in his songs and appearances
make it so beyond obvious that the dude is and has been seriously neglected and taken advantage of by systems, interpersonally by people he trusted, and by political actors who do not have his interest in mind. and this same stuff plagues *a lot of people*. daily. small people
i dont care how big you perceive kanye’s ego to be or what you think of the way he talks about himself or how you think success has fed into his narcissism. if his mental illness is being exploited by a manager taking advantage of it in order to promote album sales that is
as equally fucked up, sad, and disheartening as when it happens to say brittany spears, or aaron carter, or literally anybody. this stuff happens to people with no notoriety or artistic careers. this happens to a lot of elders too. this type of abuse is endemic to mental illness
the amt of forgiveness and pity extended to brittany spears in contrast to the outward disdain of kanye for the same problems are also racist and fucked up. it is much easier for people to drop an older black dude for exhibiting mental illness
if u dont at the least feel sympathy for kanye’s mental state in spite of his actions i don’t believe you care about people with mental illness or that you are invested in helping the people around you who struggle with equally violent and difficult behaviors in smaller ways
and i need people to understand that if u purposely give people with greatly mismanaged mental illness a platform it will almost certainly end up in kanye like cycles of drama and public outcries. bc that shit is fucking scary
