hes not even talking about loving women in that verse moron
whoops haha I always thought they were saying "nobody's seen the c*nts that i've seen" instead of carnage which kinda changes the whole verse and makes it sound more like kanye's previous verse about putting pussies in sarcophogi

this is what we call a "joke"

because the egyptians buried people with cats

kanye has too many "jokes" where the punchline is how forceful they are in sex

perhaps the guy who voted for trump and who defended cosby is, perhaps, at least a little sincere when they "joke"

you don't get to be subtle if you have a mass audience unfortunately

the way people engage with art is they naturally sympathize with a protagonist they're following based on how they're first revealed, and then if there's a twist or less favorable subtext that's gotten through further reading, only some of the people will reevaluate their overall perceptions.

tyler durden is looked on favorably as a cool edgy antihero by lots of people even though the point of fight club is that that kind of machismo is self-destructive and to be avoided. however, it's not revealed until late on so a person who doesn't think about it too much might come away with a positive impression since they had positive feelings toward them for most of the movie.

if you want to prevent that you have to basically say "this is bad!" right off the bat which dulls the entertainment value.

it's pretty funny you kvetch about Kanye when palahniuk has an intense seething hatred for women. it's almost as funny as you bemoan audience stupidity while wholesale failing to get Kanye at all.

Considering that every model, poll, and conventional wisdom has said it was a lock for the better part of a year I'm not sure I can blame them tbh.

Hell any mention in the here that it'd be less than a Clinton win was referred to as arzying

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

can someone who embraces a male gender role ever divorce themselves enough from the aggressive aspects of that role enough to Make Art that has a beneficial effect on gender relations?

a lot of female writers and readers complain of how a male writing a "strong female" will end up creating someone who is physically female but has stereotypical male behaviors and biases. even writing about the downsides of machismo/power for males keeps focus and sympathy on the oppressor.
