    It could be funny if not for this guy’s rapidly stagnating mental health and the publicity he still has. He’s not a joke, he’s a deeply wrong unmedicated idiot who we can observe even there. When he was intervieved with a sock on his sad head and praised Hitler for some reason, it felt so cringe-worthy, but it’s unfair to him and to the persons who he promotes hate against to share it any further.

      Mental illness isn’t carte blanche to be hateful without recourse. I live with literally the exact same condition as Kanye, but that condition never absolves me the work of being decent or having to live with the consequences of my poor decisions. My mental illness may at times explain my erratic behavior, but it absolutely never excuses said behavior. Stop using mental illness as an excuse to allow the rich and famous to do whatever they want without recourse.

        Fair point. I just hold the opinion he’s both an asshole and he’s used and enabled by other actors to stay this way. He sure has an agency, even if it’s a bit less than NT persons have.

        It’s totally an excuse, a psychotic person could believe anything and that is in no way their fault. I knew a guy who believed… do you know what, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean the behaviour is okay, but it absolutely excuses it.

        You are probably correct. I’m not from a ski region so I thought about him like of a caricaturic burglar.

        It seemed almost like a bondage mask from what I remember

        I don’t remember the sock though… Why do I find that so much weirder than just the mask?
