Kanye is a literal admitted Nazi.
Stop dickriding this fucking loser or using him in memes like he's just some dude. Stop being complicit in normalizing Nazism, Jesus fucking Christ
Just because the guy in memes is a jerk doesnt mean we cant laugh at memes.
There are literal Hitler memes on the internet.
Do you think people who put Satan in their memes want to really go to hell or something?
Of course I understand that, but I also understand subtext and cultural currents. Regardless of whether or not using Kanye this way counts as endorsement, it still serves to normalize his relevance and help keep him, and therefore his thoughts, words, and opinions, in the cultural zeitgeist.
So we can either accept that or choose literally any other random idiot to be our go-to meme guy instead.
So why the fuck shouldn't we?
i laughed at the meme, and didn't know who the dude was. so maybe it's not as big a problem as you think? shrug
