I don’t care if this is “out of character” for a leftist to support a multi-millionaire who has openly flirted with fascism but there’s a much bigger issue here regarding Kanye West and the tremendous amount of scrutiny he’s received in the media for years.Kanye is autistic. He was late-diagnosed at age 47 last year after having been previously misdiagnosed as bipolar. Anyone who’s familiar with his behaviours can clearly tell he’s autistic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3gc09kjQE [Open]I’m autistic as well. I can’t live alone. I’ve experienced a ton of ableism in my life. The reason Kanye is important to me is because him being maligned and cancelled is an autistic civil rights issue. He made a song about Hitler, so what? Him being a billionaire doesn’t bother me at all because 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Kanye needs to be supported for one very good reason: Autistic people can only win equality and acceptance when we’re allowed to unmask without consequences. Kanye being cancelled and hated BECAUSE of his autistic traits like being outspoken and not recognizing social hierarchy sets back the progress of the autism acceptance movement by decades. Autistic people deserve the right to unmask and live as our authentic selves regardless of how much it triggers allistics. We aren’t responsible for allistic feelings or accommodating allistics by masking. Masking is psychological torture and the main reason the primary cause of death for autistic people is SUICIDE. We have a moral duty to support autistic people even if they’re autistic people we don’t like. When you attack a famous autistic for unmasking you’re attacking ALL of us. Also stream Bully in order to pay Kanye reparations for eugenics (something every autistic person deserves).
That’s great but can you answer this?
