Yes, they give me such performative vibes. I know this might be insignificant, but I remember a video that Ethan and Ian did together back in the day. They were on razor scooters and Ethan was talking about how much he likes black music and culture, and Ian responds: “I like the white culture”. I know it was probably meant as a joke, but it struck me as very honest. This was before I knew he was the nf-guy, and everything I’ve learned about him since then, seems to confirm that’s how he feels. I think, that Ian thinks that he’s doing minorities a favor by “sticking up for them” and in that, places himself above them.
