    He posted the monkey as a reaction image, but the media is just gonna run with the racist narrative? 🤔

    What’s the reaction? It doesn’t really look like it’s even reacting to anything

    Dude knew what he was doing with this, I think he knew he could have plausible deniability imo

    as a white person you have to be aware of the s*** you do that could be construed as racism lol

    this very well could be just him using a reaction pic, but how do u live as an adult in the year of 2023 (in the entertainment industry) and not understand the context of “monkey” and “black person” in the same sentence

    bro is just an idiot

    let’s dissect this

  • Mar 4, 2023

    So people are actually mad at The Weeknd over some show being s***tily directed? Is that right?

    I don’t like this logic. Yeah maybe he’s an idiot but it’s lame of people to jump to conclusions like that.

    He might not have intended it but he gets no say in how someone reacts to something he said/did.

    That’s what the people did about Abel when the rolling stone article came out and now it’s wrong when they do it about this guy?

    As a journalist in 2023, you should be very well aware that using anything involving a monkey, ape, gorilla, etc. in reference to a black person will immediately be seen as racism. There’s no excuse for that

    This is a great statement. I think maybe he didn’t think it would catch traction, but he should’ve been aware based off who he was talking to alone

    I’d beat up the writer

    That’s not the point tho. This journalist is very likely not racist but the media is portraying him as that. It’s obvious he used that image as a reaction. His livelihood is at risk and he’s probably receiving death threats. “Should have known better” isn’t an excuse to ruin this guys life.
