Probably because I don't give a shit about random celebrities

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I so agree. I admit there are a few celebrities that I like so much that I'd be interested in their life story a bit, but I'm absolutely not following news about them or really even interested in their kids or who they married. Even though those things are a part of them, I would be interested in their earlier life more -- how did they become this person? Having said that, most biographies I have read have been snoozefests, sadly. Even when the person is insanely fascinating in an interview about their work, hearing about how they spent their summer in 1968 isn't usually the most riveting story...

Society is all about talking big on ideals and then doing the opposite.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

People PRIMARILY, before anything else, want to protect the status quo.

Unfortunately, SA and DV are part of that status quo. Therefore it'll only ever get lip service cause DOING something would "shake up the meta."

I cannot stress enough how low this is on the long list of priorities we should all care about.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Right above the politics of badgers and right below solving the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

He won! The election was just rigged...

Oh wait wrong guy

[–] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

He was only there to make some African American votes irrelevant for the democrats.

[–] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago

He tried to run as a Republican while being a black man, anything else is just details

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Oh I forgot about this. That would make their primaries even more comical. Hoping this happens.

[–] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

100%

There's reactive abuse. Where in response to abuse you defend yourself with abusive behaviour. Then the original abuser plays the victim and gas lights you.

My marriage was like this. It was hell.

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No one cares about kanye or whatever nazi he’s with

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Though it is just a tad entertaining watching Alex Jones try to figure out how to respond to "I like Hitler".

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Who is Kanye West's wife? He and Kim Kardashian divorced in 2022. He never formally married Bianca Censori.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Was going to say! Who TF is his wife cos it certainly ain’t the one everyone’s thinking of

[–] highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I Really Don’t Care, Do U?

She knew Ye was literally medically insane. To be completely honest, the more fucked up shit that happens to people who are richer than entire countries, the better.

because people who aren't as rich as entire countries, people who don't have the ability to just "get up and leave", are in relationships with people inspired by people like kanye.

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 11 points 10 months ago

I guess im OOTL on this, what's happened with Kanye now?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Who devotes time thinking about Kanye and his wife? Who devotes time making memes about it?

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

They're both adults.

If she didn't want crazy, she should not have married Kanye. Get a divorce if he's not what you thought he was.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

It... Depends.

There are some relationships where that's part of the T&Cs, and what both people want. I'm not into a lifestyle D/s kinda thing, but that's what some people want, because they don't want to be "responsible" for making life choices. I'm not convinced it's healthy, but it's still their choice.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The sociopaths are the ringleaders. As long as the money flows to their pockets everything is permissible.

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hard to give a shit when Kayne has shown everyone his ass hole enough times that wanting to be close to him is plainly a bad idea

[–] Rebuilt@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I care more about gaza
