I'm tired of seeing this nonsensical argument too often on Lemmy so here it goes:
Ofc. I love some things about Kanye, the things that make his music just straight bops and his lyrics so fun and ridiculous at times, and I hate other things that are not related to his art. I know his weird anti-"Semitic" (Polish/Ukrainian people are not Semites but Anglo/Western cultures find any reason to hate other people, lol) rants are off-putting at the very least but I don't know what that part of him has to do with "Flashing Lights" or "Guilt Trip", they're completely unrelated.
Now, when the art is a reflection/in praise of the artists' ideology and takes, and those are morally and/or intellectually fucked, and you liked them, then that certainly says something negative about you. You can love or hate that one painting by Hitler and it would say nothing about you, but if you enjoy Mein Kampf you're an immoral dummy, certainly.
