All I’m saying is she’s a millionaire, she’s free from that conservatirship, and she seems happy frolicking on beaches. I pity what happened to her, but she’s in better shape now than she was.
idk why people constantly look for reasons to excuse him just becoming a terrible person. We don't do that for other people that we once thought were good but ended up being assholes. Why him?
Well TBIs can manifest in a number of ways. I'm not excusing the behavior either but there's a why to everything.
I don't know why this matters. It could be from the brain injury. Feel free to just call him an asshole if you like. I am not stopping you
Having the time and money to run around butt naked on the beach on a remote island in French Polynesia whenever you want is the dream. We should all be happy for her that she gets to have that after all the bullshit she’s been through.
You could've said that without caping for Kanye. You haven't explained this, tho: I felt bad for Kanye when his mother passed away because of how close they were. But, most children have to deal with the passing of their parents and most of those children don't turn out to be antisemitic assholes. I think most would agree he has some sort of undiagnosed personality disorder, but he's still a prick. Not really sad IMO.
I never have in any way capped for Kanye...ever. What I was trying to say is...you have 2 celebrities who are for the most part considered crazy. I was saying the sad situation is Kanye displaying his crazy in terrible/hurtful ways...while Britney's just happy dancing and frolicking on the beach. I should have worded it better.
Please explain then. We don't do that for guys like say Chapelle. Or Kevin Spacey. Or JK Rowling. We just say they are an asshole and suck as humans. Maybe it was the money? The power that came with the money? Or maybe they just always sucked and we didn't know? People don't do that with Kanye. They look to blame it on his mom dying. A lot of people deal with that. People try to blame it on mental illness and him not taking meds. People just look for something other he's just an asshole.
Thanks for posting this. It saves us a few pages of back and forth. I don’t think there is anything I can say that will make you feel any differently than you do so I’ll save myself some mental bandwidth and say I don’t think it is necessary that simple. Everything doesn’t have to be black and white. I’m also not excusing anything he has done nor have I ever.
This article sums up my thoughts well. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life...sm-bipolar-disorder-mental-health/8235254001/ Psychologists say unmanaged mental health conditions can cause people to act in seemingly uncharacteristic ways. But mental illness and bigotry are two distinct problems requiring two distinct solutions. While knowing about Ye's bipolar diagnosis may help explain impulsive behavior or grandiose gestures, antisemitism is a reflection of toxic societal beliefs – one espoused by bigoted people without diagnosable mental illness. Assuming that bigotry, misogyny or antisemitism are symptoms of a mental health problem is a dangerous and ableist misconception, warns Andrea Bonior, a clinical psychologist "If we assume that every person with mental health issues is racist, that does them a disservice and increases the stigma, which ultimately keeps people from getting help. And if we assume that every person who spouts off bigoted beliefs has a mental illness, we are turning our backs on the cultural changes that we need to address in terms of implicit bias," Bonior says.
I didn't say you were excusing anything. Being bipolar doesn't make someone an antisemitic bigot. That's the point.
I wonder if someone with brain damage and a personality disorder, surrounded by yes men and enough money to never have consequences for any of his actions, might be vulnerable to being radicalized
Lotta people being loosely goosey with mental health in here when they don’t need to be and/or out of their depth.
She has just been utterly failed and destroyed by society at every level during her life. This won't end well for her
She seems like exactly the kind of person that needed to be protected from herself and the vultures in her life but “Free Britney,” which looks pretty fucking stupid now. Dead and broke eventually
Well, idk but I assume there has to be some sort of middle ground here. Maybe not though, you guys go ahead and argue from your polar opposite positions
