You’ll have to forgive me as this is a silly thread to make but I have been a Kanye stan since I was around 10
-11 years old (I’m 29 now… old as f*** I know) and to see one of my idols fall so hard like this is genuinely so hard to take. I’m sure I’m not being presumptuous when I say this but, like many of you I have done mental gymnastics over the years to defend his antics, however, it’s now getting to the point where I can’t even speak on the man because the hatred for what he’s done is so intense (some people didn’t need an excuse to be fair) and they’d be right to a degree as his actions have been out of order. As I said at the top: apologies but I needed to vent. I can’t see how he comes back from this, which is mental because people still bump people who’ve objectively done way worse (R Kelly etc) but it is what it is.

the last 5 words

I feel u bro I’m 27 and I basically could have written this myself

Some of the s*** he’s said recently has been like gut punches, not even the usual mental Olympics could make it mean something else

we old enough to have bigger problems in life. Like I get what you are saying but its out of our control so just send best wishes and live life. Cherish the memories made while not holding on to anything with certainty . I am grateful he is alive either way. All the hate that cycles around him and through him based on how he acts sometimes in inevitable. In the end the fact that he is okay is what matters. But what matters even more is that you are okay

You probably going to be s*** on for this post but I am 35 and became a fan of Kanye in high school. It is truly wild to see all of this happening all at once!

At least, you're free from the mental gymnastics. It must have been taxing too.

Men out here treating KTT like a diary

Bro go beat your meat or something, goofy ass 😂

nah i feel you OP, close in age to you(couple years younger) been a fan of ye since 04. my dropout trilogy cds are all the clean version that's how young i was rocking with ye😂. one of my favorite childhood memories was pulling up to target after school and buying Graduation w/my own money. ill never forget that first listen

definitely weird to see him climb to the top, go from Pastelle to Yeezy & accomplish everything he was telling us he would then gradually have it all fall apart.

im at peace with it tho. i disassociated as a fan around 2019, think the last thing i truly enjoyed from him was the Easter Sunday Service at Coachella. Definitely weird looking back 17-18yr.. even 8 yr ago how i viewed him compared to now

Your kids are gonna beat their meat together while you'll be dying alone in the hospital, so at least you're right to be having fun while you can.

This a weird post bro bro

In the same boat.

Maybe you should consider context.

I'm 31 and like you have been a fan since the beginning. This is tough. My wife walked down the aisle to all of the lights, my mother/son dance at my wedding was Hey Mama, we entered the reception to Lost in the World.
Everyone I know knows I'm a huge fan so I've been getting hit up constantly. It got to the point where I had to make a public declaration of my support for my Jewish friends. It's brutal

?

I guess we got to consider "context"

having to make a public declaration sad yet hilarious but love to you and yours because they know you are close it so got to say something eventually

Maybe you've banned the account but I was replying to this:

I was 16 when Through The Wire dropped and been a Stan ever since, this s*** crazy fr

I feel you man, I was just reading his Wikipedia and wondering how someone so prolific can turn into this, sad times for the goat

that is why is good to never have idols

talking about kids masturbating together is weird

saying go beat your meat to destress is out there but its not talking about kids masturbating

It got to the point tonight where my buddies at the pub were saying “what’s going on with Kanye” and I just replied “let’s not spoil the night”, I don’t know what he thought he was going to achieve with this s***.

exactly. Never base your entirety around anyone else's life. Learn your lessons. Call out their weirdness but never let any of it take away from what you did gain from them
