Looks like some imagery straight out of Ryan Murphy's AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN.

Man, I got to the end but Kanye hit his head on Kim's arse. Was that meant to be the joke? Was there a joke? Surprsingly playable, nonetheless. 9.7/10
Great to see that Newgrounds hasn't changed in the half-decade+ since I last visited it, right down to the leet speak (an involuntary shudder just befell me).

I interpret it as being like one of those adult games where you get to see animated tits bounce around for a couple of seconds at the end. In this case, you get to run head first into an ass. It's anticlimactic, but I'm not going to question what people are into.

I loved Newgrounds so much. I still go back every now and again, but I think the site's passed me a little.

If Cobbler flew over here, Kanye would probably go out partying with him.
Kanye would use the video screen for batting practice if Peef bought tickets.

Why is this so bad? He's hardly the first person to "reclaim" something that's been used against people in a negative way. What about all the women who posted pictures holding signs with the words their rapists said to them?
Also I'm interested to know... what's your take on how Kanye plays All of the Lights on tour? I'm not sure if he's still doing it on this one but when I saw him last year he kept stopping the song after "MJ gone / our nigga dead" because he wanted the predominately white crowd to scream the "our nigga dead" line as loud as possible.

I think it's a load of bullshit, and cringe at stupid white people who do this, even if that includes you too. I also think he has serious mental issues.
Sorry, you asked

I most certainly joined in. We've had a similar discussion before, and can't agree, so I'll drop it.
What about the confederate jacket? And what are the "serious mental issues"? To me he just seems to be an obsessive and an extreme narcissist. I can think of many more serious mental issues.

What about it? I'm hardly the only person who isn't amused that he's wearing it and using similar imagery in his tour merchandise.
What's the point here exactly? You don't get it? Ok great. Like you said, you were dropping it.

That's totally understandable, and I understand the history and why it would rile people up, but as I said he's not the first person to "reclaim" something negative, and that's what he's quoted as saying in the DM article. It and the merch fit in with some of the album's themes too - Black Skinhead, New Slaves.
I was dropping the "white people singing the word nigga" argument.

Ok man. I don't think I came in with an attacking or sarcastic or baiting tone, I just like having discussions, and am always open I changing my opinion.
That was the hardest I've laughed at the music choice in a video about animals since this:

That's not much of an argument for Kanye having "serious mental issues."
Kanye does have some loose screws and I see both sides of the argument on this, but I won't be buying tour merchandise because a) I'm broke and b) I don't want to look like I just came back from a Guns N Roses gig.

Very very good. I was trying to think of a joke myself but I think it's best if I just leave my contribution to the video.

Great, but that's not what I said. The question was "what about the jacket". I was responding to that when I said "what about it" and then followed with the sentence you cherry picked.

Your argument seems to be that because of a publicity stunt, he's clearly messed up in the head.
Lady Gaga, on the other hand, is apparently a friggin' genius when she pulls shit like this.

Right. One publicity stunt. Ftr, I've pretty much said that he has some serious issues from day one, my interest in/like of alot of his music notwithstanding.I'm guessing you have the linkback handy where I state this?

She was speaking generally. I would honestly like to hear your opinion on my questions, why you find the Confederate thing so offensive, why you think he has "serious mental issues" (and what they are). Not attacking you at all.

You need someone to explain why various words and images are deeply offensive to people?
