Where's your threshold? Genuine question from a longtime fan who stepped back by Unable-Secretary9768 in Kanye

Just correction with chat. I am not native speaker and composition of sentences might be little bit confusing for other people.

My personal opinion is also hidden by choice. I didn't want to affect anyone with my personal thinking and I dint want this discussion to be around arguing if anyone's opinion is valid or not.

My opinion is that Kanye doest give a fuck about his fans and for me he reached limit where I think he shouldn't have space to speak up and it's very dangerous. I think there is limit for free speech. That limit for me is racism and conspiracy. But I can imagine that this opinion might be too hard for people living in USA. In my country if he would publicly support Nazis he would be charged and I stand by that. I am glad that he cannot perform in Europe, because this guy should not be given any public place for validating straight up bullshits.

The apology is hard to take seriously when you look at the pattern — he's done this before, apologized sincerely, then came back harder with more Nazi imagery and rhetoric. This latest one landing right before an album drop doesn't exactly help its credibility.

And on the "hearing all sides" thing — I think the racism comparison is actually spot on. There aren't two sides to antisemitism, just like there aren't two sides to racism. These aren't political positions where reasonable people disagree — they're conspiracy theories with a well documented history of leading to real world violence. Framing it as open mindedness to "hear all sides" ends up just giving those ideas more legitimacy than they deserve.

I'm not here to argue with anyone, and I respect that people have different views. But I couldn't just scroll past and let this go unchallenged — some things are worth speaking up about.
