Kanye has been at it recently and a lot of people have been talking about him being off the meds, which illness his brain has, how he’s not been the same since his mother died, and on and on and on and on and on and…

It’s obvious that attention is one of the major drivers of edgelord behaviour, but we mustn’t continually tie ourselves up in knots with trying to be considerate, intellectual, or looking for the mildest hot-take.

Sometimes, people just end up being shit.

Add it up – saying you’re a nazi, saying you hit women, airing your dirty laundry about private conversations, sticking up for a man who is on video beating the hell out of his partner and then recreating the shirt that woman was wearing while being beaten and selling it, mocking an old friend’s death, being anti-semitic, being flippant about proven domestic violence, stating “I love Hitler”, selling a t-shirt with a literal swastika on it, attacking fat women, hitting out at whatever they think ‘woke’ is, homophobic slurs, saying abortion is murder, all within hours of each other – you have to assume that the person saying all that shit is a garbage individual, whatever their reasons are.

It’s tough when you’ve enjoyed the music of a person and you can decide for yourself whether you want to listen to ‘Ultra Light Beam’ anymore or not, but forget all the posturing and dinner party through-thoughts – sometimes, people are just shit, and you don’t need to justify it any further.

2025 everyone.
