Honestly, Cosby’s fall was larger than Kanye’s.

Unless you were alive in the 1980’s it’s hard to understand how beloved Bill Cosby was.

It was probably on-par to how Mister Rogers is remembered today.

He went from that to being completely persona non grata.

I think Kanye’s fall is nothing in comparison to that; especially considering that he still has a career even though it’s not as successful as it used to be.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Cosby was on par with how we think of Tom Hanks today. He had a dad vibe that everyone loved.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Kanye is definitely up there. Because I hate so much about what Kanye has turned into... his music is just so, so fucking good. For all his personality faults (Or diagnoses... I dont think we will ever know for certain) the man is a musical genius.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He has a lot of the telltale signs of something akin to bipolar disorder. You can see very easily his ups or downs and whether or not he has taken his meds recently.

It sucks. He looks like someone who needs help.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh very much so, but when someone with his means and access to treatment options keeps going off the deep end and ranting about Jews and how some black people must have wanted slavery. It reduces my sympathy.

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It certainly does. Simply because bipolar disorder doesn't magically create shit political views.

Otoh it is very hard to be convinced in the long term that you need help. It's a common phenomenon where people with bipolar disorder go off their meds during manic episodes.

I agree that money helps like hell, especially in the US. Otoh you also need some support around you. And he strikes me as an incredibly lonely dude surrounded by sycophants...

How are Crosby and Kanye even remotely comparable?? Crosby literally sexually assaulted others. From my knowledge Kanye isn’t a sexual predator? Crazy maybe, but not a pig? Correct me if I’m wrong though.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The "fall" is comparable not the magnitude of what they did, mostly because Cosbys shit mostly came out 20 years after he stopped being culturally relevant.

[–] teletext@reddthat.com 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

OP, do you actually think Kanye is worse than the serial rapist Cosby? And if so, what is wrong with you?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Kanye has been charged with raping an assistant at a Diddy party. I have no doubts he is also a serial rapist.

[–] nave@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

*he’s been accused. He hasn’t been charged

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

You’re correct - my mistake.

still fucking awful

[–] teletext@reddthat.com 13 points 2 months ago

Thanks! I never heard of that. And there I was thinking at least he's a nonviolent crazy person. :(

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Cosbys fall came so long after he left the spotlight, for younger people the connection isnt there.

Snoop is in full panic mode after doing a gig for Donald

People started shunning him properly, especially because he dissed others who did the same last time the Orange won

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As a fan of Snoop, my disappointment is unmeasurable

[–] source_of_truth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

What's the best album Snoop has released since Doggystyle? I might check it out.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Anything before reincarnated ( it was reggae and he tried to reinvent himself, decent but way different than his usual stuff) his first 3 albums were the best tho. Where he started to shine was in his collaboration stuff.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kanye? I remember people liking Musk. Imagine that.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

I am afraid that there are still people who like him

[–] source_of_truth@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I just can't care about Kanye and his desperate begging for attention.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Not much. A series of tweets saying:

he loves hitler

he is a nazi

elon stole his nazi swag

(Yes, all three consecutive).

Then he went and said that he is autistic.

And I wish I was joking but it's all true

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

I hope he gets some mental help, he clearly needs it.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He also recently made his wife (like, on video she’s clearly uncomfortable) basically show up nude to an award show. It’s really gross and uncomfortable.

Ye is severely mentally ill, and should have been placed into care five years ago.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Show up uninvited. It's a certain level of special that is reserved for the likes of him, probably because he knows he's falling into obscurity.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm sorry but I will never hate Kanye we much as the internet wants me to

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm not sure if you are a bad troll or just not very intelligent.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They're using hashtags on Lemmy, so yeah, probably not the sharpest crayon in the box.

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just remembered something I haven’t thought about in a lifetime. The giant box of Crayola crayons I had as a kid - had a crappy plastic sharpener built into the box. It would tear the paper and take chunks out of the crayons but still, I used it.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Indeed, I think they were on the 64 and 128 packs

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oof not sure the 128 packs were even a thing in my day! Just fell down a rabbit hole on how the colours are all different now, as are the names, many of which are puns rather than descriptive (I agree with those that needed an update culturally - eg flesh tone, Indian red etc) just shows you can never go home again.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Tbf i thought it would do big text

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

You do you!

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What did Kanye do that was so terrible exactly?

[–] jdeath@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

worse than rapist cosby!? being fucking mental is not nearly as bad as that. whoever posted this is dumber than a rock
