FabSwingers.com forum: Kanye West

So I've just been listening to the interview he did with Piers Morgan. It very much seems to me he is quite seriously unwell mentally, What struck me is he will probably face more ridicule after this interview and I just wondered as it feels a bit like the bad old days when people would go to asylums to laugh at the crazy people.

He's mentioned before he's bi polar and has had episodes in the past. Yeah I think he's in the middle of a break down but unfortunately plenty of people are quick to point and laugh.

I think part of the problem with Kanye West is that he's been surrounded with people for years who would never tell him no.

Listening to him just now he denies that he has any mental illness whatsoever and I actually had to stop listening as it was just so uncomfortable after a while.

When you've been at the top of the game most of your life it can hard to find people you can genuinely call your friends and relate to. I think he's probably quite lonely in his life.

Still doesn't excuse him from the time he claimed he was greatest rockstar alive

I think he is enormously talented, this often comes with a complicated mind. If he is unwell I hope he has people close who will be honest and caring.

I completely agree! I loathe the way so much reporting around this ignores his obvious symptoms. Shame on the British press, as per.

It's a difficult one though having thought about it. I find it difficult listening to him being interviewed as it feels like he is being used as entertainment whoever it also feels wrong to simply silence people because they are unwell.

Plenty of non famous people who are mentally ill refuse to get help or can't see they have a problem. Like my mother.

He is a piece of shit.

He is mentally unwell.

Both things can coexist, both can be true at once. In his case, this is what it appears to be.

I don't agree he should have to lose his fame to be able to get help as plenty of famous people seek help and support for a variety of issues. It doesn't matter whether you are famous or not you have to be able to admit you have an issue in the 1st place. Problem is people that are extremely mentally unwell aren't awear there is a problem.

When someone is unwell, and they admit they aren't on their meds, the media should not be giving them a platform, so yes I agree with you. Piers Morgan is just using this to drum up some controversy (as he always does), and knows Kanye is always good for some controversial quotes, especially when his mental health is on the downturn.

Before Kanye was known to the mainstream media, he was like that. His popularity just broadened his reach. Attention is currency how do you think he got filthy rich? Next year or two will be something else.

Repeated anti-semitic and anti-black comments. None of which is new. His behavior dates as far back as 2011. Except back then, he still made enough chart topping music to distract folks, and was a powerhouse producer to the point where artists were willing to look the other way.

Totally get that but the problem is he is teling everyone he doesn't need any medication because he isn't ill so that's where the problem comes in.

What he has been saying is abhorrent however it doesn't make him a piece of shit! This has been going back 10 years but so probably has his mental health issues and I'm not saying that's an excuse however it's potentially a reason.

Ok, but do people really believe that? His behaviour seems to have gotten crazier lately... surely he's just self medicating and making excuses? I'm no expert, just trying to understand his recent craziness

He was always controversial in the Jay-Z camp way before 2011, I'm talking 2000-ish before he had an album. As he was not the big dog then. George Bush Kanye was in 2005 and he was already very controversial then in the hip-hop scene. However, social media back then is very different from now. Kanye being Kanye nothin new.

No I don't think very many people believe that but my point is it kind of doesn't matter what we believe it very much does feel like laughing at the people in the asylum which is what I said the beginning. I just think it's a slippery slide to say people shouldn't go on television or social media accounts because they are mentally unwell as that's just a way of shutting people up. That made perfect sense in my head but I'm not sure it's come across well on here.

You know what anti semitism is right? You know the history of that form of racism correct? Like there was a whole World War literally fought against one of the most infamous people to have walked the earth who held such views. Do you think the people who rallied against that guy simply “didn’t like what he said” too?

General concensus is that racists are pieces of shit. Same applies here.

Oh come on now? He's clearly not very well mentally, and hasn't been for a long time. He's spouting retoric that doesn't make any sense, and I'll go out on a limb to say he probably has zero idea what he's chatting shit about on a daily basis? But beyond that... He is not the oracle, this

isn't anything predicting the future of mankind... It's someone in the public eye, whose not very mentally health based well. Does it affect your day? Well no, then don't bitch and twist about it

Lot's of people who are mentally unwell who don't say the things he does.

Using it as an excuse for him to say what he wants is just adding fuel to the fire.

Just don't listen, watch or read anything he says or does.

Then when there's no demand for him he can disappear from the public eye and seek the help he needs.

I'm sure daily life must be a struggle for him being a multi millionaire and all.

Everyone will laugh and mock until Kanyes body is found hanging somewhere.

As a rock/metal/noise fan so many singers in bands have taken their lives or OD'd because they couldn't handle the pressure of success or the fear of losing it.

Lane

Kurt

Chester

Chris Cornell

Keith flint

Scott wieland

And a fair few more.

When men publicly struggle with mental health they become a laughing stock and unfortunately unless you are willing to pay it can take ages to get help.

But you are all assuming that his friends and family haven't/ aren't helping him.

If he's that mentally unwell surely his doctor or family can step in on ground's of diminished capacity?

He's got the ability to receive help many haven't and end up living in the streets.

He's said some horrendous shite lately but as someone who's ostensibly in the grips of a serious psychotic episode, the media should not be giving him such a visible platform right now. It's exploitation. They're encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to laugh at a seriously ill man just for revenue. Surely we should be a little wiser about this in 2022. Plus ca change.

I would normally say someone with mental health issues needs help… but when you see him bragging about adidas not being able to do anything because he is so big, he knows exactly what he is doing!

Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before you can accept help… he is not there yet so let him face all the ramifications…. Then maybe he will see where he is

What i don't understand is why such comments are never published so we can decide for ourselves if they are in any way what they're claimed to be. Same with the furore in the Labour party a while ago.

Why leave it to global corporations to decide for us, who's prime concern is not upsetting a particular demographic for fear of the possible loss of revenue that might entail.

It is not better to allow someone with that kind of platform and reach to be antisemitic. That is an absolutely insane thing to suggest. Platforming racists in the hope that it highlights how stupid they are is not protecting communities at all. It is in a way just encouraging violence against them.

"His interview with Lex Fridman was an eye opener. He needs serious help and to not be famous , both of which won't happen.

I would normally say someone with mental health issues needs help… but when you see him bragging about adidas not being able to do anything because he is so big, he knows exactly what he is doing!

It just normalises these type of views IMO. The media shouldn't be giving him airtime right now - both for the protection of whichever marginalised group he's going off against but also for the protection of the seriously mentally ill man making the comments.

It's maddening how the press seem to have so little awareness of their role in destroying people.

But actually they're not stupid, they're completely aware of what they're doing.

It’s all about clicks. That’s why Kanye has been allowed to get away with his racism for so long. It gets attention.

When are people going to stop using mental health as an excuse for someone being a piece of shit? And yes, I've read the thread.

I don't particularly like Kanye, and after learning about his anti-semitic statements the first thought in my mind was not "Poor Kanye, he needs help."

It's harmful enough any Tom, Dick and Harry saying shite like that... nevermind a grown man with influence over millions of people.

I doubt Hitler was mentally stable. I'd say he had severe mental health issues to be able to do what he did. Sure, it's nowhere near on the same level as words, but where is the sympathy for that piece of shit?

People can be mentally unstable and huge pieces of shit too.

"Throwback to when Kanye said slxvery was a choice.

So many people have him an off ramp to clarify what he meant then… till the bloke at TMZ absolutely blew his argument to bits in his face….

This is the same… so many people have given him the off ramp to back off or clarify… the problem is no one in his inner circle has the front to basically check him! "

Nobody cared though. Because apparently it was just the left getting upset that Kanye was conservative like Candace Owens or whatever.

Has the MSM actually said they agree with him? No. They just report the fact that he is issuing statements of this type. The MSM have said he is antisemitic and not firing on all cylinders mentally. How many of his fans actually mimic his views? They know him for what he is, a seriously ill informed racist with paranoid tendencies. He is being laughed at by the world, and he is doubling down on his beliefs.

Even the more mainstream right wingers see him for what he is and don't want to touch him with a bargepole.

So it’s fine for Jewish people to have to see various media platforming an antisemite because people are laughing at him?

Nah that ain’t it

Why leave it to global corporations to decide for us, who's prime concern is not upsetting a particular demographic for fear of the possible loss of revenue that might entail.

'particular demographic'

What word would you use to describe them?

Not sure whether you were referencing my comments as part of your general statement, but I do agree with much of what you said.

I don't particularly feel sympathy for Kanye and I don't think his illness excuses his comments.

I'm just disappointed that the media continue to exploit someone who is in the middle of a mental health crisis, massive shithead or not.

Someone so ill shouldn't be used as clickbait, whether we judge them to be a good person or not. What's to stop them doing it to someone blameless next time?

This, combined with a splash of "Would this even be news if this person was anyone else given we know this behaviour exists all over the internet every second of every day"

If he'd DONE something newsworthy, report that. If he's just SAID something dumb, don't give that air just because he's loaded.

"He's mentioned before he's bi polar and has had episodes in the past. Yeah I think he's in the middle of a break down but unfortunately plenty of people are quick to point and laugh.

I think part of the problem with Kanye West is that he's been surrounded with people for years who would never tell him no."

He said he likes Hitler and people should stop dissing Nazis.

It's only 1% further than the stuff Trump comes out with, the have the same circle of friends etc. And people love him and want him back as their president. So it's all a bit of a non story.

Not so. He was banned for posting a swastika image. The exchange is on Musk's timeline.

He glorified Hitler and said he did some good things. Kanye West can fuck off and do one, as far as I'm concerned.
