It just hit me that even here when he's just shitting on black people, it's like business as usual.
So like maybe blaming the media and corporate about how it's only when jewish people are shat on that consequences come is not something to look at like Era is not part of society that does just that.

This is more likely due to the lack of compassion for black life that is prevalent worldwide, rather than an overwhelming bias & love for Jewish people, and yes that does include Era.

Something to also remember is that the executives of these Fashion/ Entertainment
Companies predominantly aren’t black.

Here we go. Jewish get all the love. 

Could it be that Kanye himself being black made things a little more complicated?

Or that plenty of black people still bought his stuff?

Hard pass on Harry Potter, but I’ll take the others.

Trans rights are human rights!

[Boredfrom]

Yeah, RE is acting like Kanye was BITCH JOANNE and shunned by an entire community and black people stopped buying his clothes.

Even BossAttack has a moment of lucidity:

I think the real reason is that Kanye is himself black. So, predominately white companies trying to tell another black man how he should feel about black issues is not something they want to step in. Ironically, I think if Kanye were white we'd see a more immediate backlash to his original anti-black comments.

Of course he would have been kicked out if he was white. They are right that companies only care about bottom line stuff, but is flawed to think that they didn’t kicked Kanye earlier when he was a black artist being “critical” (lol) of his community and while keeping selling shit.

Also:

For a forum that has a big hate bonner for rich people, they genuinely believe an average  rich black executive would have given two shits? Have they seen the UK news lately? The rich privileged minority is pretty willing to throw their fellows under the bus, specially if they were born from privilege.

If Kanye didn't say shit about White Lives Matter, George Floyd, or slavery was a choice, etc, but kept talking about the Jews just the same, the conversation on Resetera would be totally different.  It would look a little more like this:

Don't wanna quote the torygraph here fully

Bloomsbury said sales of the wizarding stories had jumped 35pc in the first half of the year – a quarter of a century since Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first released.

That compares to a 5pc increase in the number sold in the year to February 28.

However, Nigel Newton, chief executive of Bloomsbury, shrugged off the row, saying: "Harry Potter continues to do the most enormous amount of good in spreading the love of reading among children."

How awful so many people will still choose to support her despite having her transphobia about as clear as one possibly can be. It was reported in mainstream media, so I don't see how people can't know.

How can so many people still buy Harry Potter? Don't they know they are supporting that TERF bitch Joanne by doing so?

This is undeniably very depressing to read regardless, but to try and contextualise this a little bit - this year was the 25th anniversary, and a bunch of stuff was released this year. There was the new movie, a 25th anniversary printing of the first book, the return to hogwarts documentary thing, a bunch of merchandise I don't care about...

Not all of these were successes (The movie at least continued the fantastic beasts downward spiral), but if marketing chucks enough money at something, eventually it will stick. I think this 35% increase is at least partially due to the brand receiving increased exposure and New Things this year. The brand is in the public consciousness with a lot of material that's about "remember that thing you liked", so people are buying the books out of nostalgia.

Still sucks that JK is making so much money! And with the damn videogame happening soon that's going to keep happening. But it's just something to keep in mind with this data.

One of my brothers already texted me talking about how Kanye will be back in a year or two with an apology tour and everything will be OK again.

I hope not. I believe in forgiveness but only if you can make up in some way for the harm you've done. There's nothing this clown can ever do to make the last six-ish years right imo. He could give every penny he has to civil rights groups and then volunteer full-time feeding the poor and it still wouldn't be enoug

I'd really like to know how they calculate what kind of damage Kanye has done.

Imagine if Jason Schreier was the owner

This.
It will accelerate depending on how quick he makes his ‘changes’. While its not overnight, I do see a scenario where if he’s serious about his shit talking its a wrap in six months.

As anyone who’s been in an online space where moderators shit the bed and start pandering to trolls its pretty easy to end up looking like kiwifarms. You have a large amount of social media users who’s sole goal is to make the experience miserable for others and all his plans make it look like he wants to open the gates wide. They will force people off just off GP

The best thing about this deal is the possibility of an alternative to the Twitter garbage. I always hated the platform, looking forward to what will come out.

[Uncle]

the best thing is how hopelessly embedded all news media got with twitter, local/national stories popping up unedited tweets on TV, "share to twitter" links on every site everywhere, lots of kotaku and polygon articles fully based on nothing but tweets

y'all rely on it now

Apart from this decentralised nature, Mastodon largely functions like Twitter. Instead of tweets, you have ‘toots’, which have a character limit of 500. And just like on Twitter, you can follow someone provided you know their full Mastodon handle.

imagine sites start running stories based on the latest "toots"

To note, I do not think it's wrong for the Black characters to engage in facets of Black culture outside of their country of origin, just because I personally think there's a universality to Blackness that's shared across all the various diasporas. Lucio would definitely be knowledgeable of jazz though, so the skin literally doesn't offend me in the least. Same with Bap being a disco daddy. It was just a point I brought up in a silly internet argument haha.

Why would Lucio "definitely" be knowledgeable of jazz? You probably aren't knowledgeable of jazz and you're a Black American living now rather than a Brazilian living in the late 21st century after the creation of AI replicating robots. You ever been to the Atlanta Jazz Festival, Nepenthe? It's only one of the biggest jazz festivals in the entire world for decades.

I don't particularly give a shit about Matthew Perry (outside of his really great short lived cameo role in The Good Wife as about the most detestable politician you can imagine) but its not exactly a secret that Keanu - as cool a dude as he is - isn't exactly a top-tier actor, and its a pretty common refrain amongst creatives when - for example - Kurt Cobains dead but Nickleback are still going strong.

That's some incredible work and I'll be using this myself to convince people that Rowling shouldn't be taken seriously as a well-meaning activist. I do have one suggestion though. I don't see Rowling mentioned in linked Forbes article about the scrapping of the proffered reform in the Gender Recognition Act. I tried to find a link to suggest that provides additional context but the results are all saturated with the latest stunt against Nichola Sturgeon. Anyway, I think the pipeline of Twitter activism into actual legislation that negatively effects peoples' lives is really important to highlight. But I couldn't find anything on Google that unambiguously evidences that.
