The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

    Far be it from me to know of someone, anyone, even a celebrity, by using a reverse initialism or, worst, and I don’t say this lightly, an apheresis.

      It’s shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.

        I have an account.

        When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It’s broken.

        Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.

      No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you’re still not infallible… None of us are.

    What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

        I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was “white lives matter” and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.

          Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).

        Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn’t mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he’s contributed more to culture than elon ever could.

          This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don’t seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he’s been so influential on many of them.

    Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.

    The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.

    Is he doing this to remain relevant?

      That is the official website. It’s linked on the wiki page for Kanye, and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too because it’s so poorly designed. You can’t even see the price of the shirt until it’s in your cart.
