    Of course I understand that, but I also understand subtext and cultural currents. Regardless of whether or not using Kanye this way counts as endorsement, it still serves to normalize his relevance and help keep him, and therefore his thoughts, words, and opinions, in the cultural zeitgeist.

    So we can either accept that or choose literally any other random idiot to be our go-to meme guy instead.

    So why the fuck shouldn’t we?

    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.
