Probably because I don’t give a shit about random celebrities
I care in a general human sense.
Society talks big about wanting to reduce domestic violence but when there’s a clear cut example it’s radio silence.
Just a little infuriating.
One particular over privileged couple of people don’t catch my eye at all for any other reason either, except when they are spreading hate or something like that. Weird to think everyone does notice or care what celebrities do. I honestly have no idea who his wife is or why I would know she’s abused.
Exactly, why do people care so much about celebrities. It’s understandable to appreciate their work/talent (movies or whatever) but to go beyond that to know whatever crap they are doing in their life is cringy.
I cannot stress enough how low this is on the long list of priorities we should all care about.
What happened to Ye’s attempted political carreer? Last I cared to check he was boldly planning to run as presidential candidate in the US stop-calling-us-nazi party.
What… Should my reaction be? Lol do you want us to all crowdfund an emergency evacuation of his wife?
Like… This doesn’t even make sense. “We are all ok with it” until five seconds ago I didn’t even know about this situation but being responsible or able to help is also a factor and neither of those apply to us so why the fuck would we do anything?
Some of you are just the worst when it comes to falling on a sword for anyone and anything.
Falling on your sword doesn’t mean what you’re trying to imply in this context but I digress.
You’re right, there isn’t a whole lot you can do about this particular example. However it is likely at some point in your life you will witness a relationship that is unhealthy or abusive and then what will you do?
For whatever you think about celebrities the behaviour they exemplify does have an effect about what is permissible in society generally, they set ‘trends’.
Right now in my opinion society (largely the media) is saying it’s all cool and normal and so I’m expressing my frustration in the greatest artistic medium of our time, memes.
We’re not supposed to victim-blame, but imo this applies only if the person was lured under false pretenses, or forced somehow.
It’s Kanye West. Everyone knows who and what Kanye is. Even if you don’t it’s a 5 second google search to find out.
Abuse often works this way.
Usually it’s intermittent and when they aren’t being abused they are super loving and caring.
This leads to people thinking they are doing something wrong or that the abuser is a loving partner with problems that can be worked on.
Abuse is incredibly complicated and until you’ve been through it it’s really hard to understand how anyone could put up with it.
It’s often bi-directional as well. Sadly I know someone in a battered marriage situation and a big part of why they won’t leave is bc they don’t want the court (they have a kid) to find out they were also getting physical with their spouse. Codependency is a bitch
