You only bring rape victims into the discussion because it supports your narrative?
Did you think about them when they spoke about Cosby?
Did you support them?
I assure you that most Taylor fans wouldn't flinch if Famous had never included her, they would only call Kanye an attention-seeking and move on with their lives and once again, I'm not dumb enough to believe some of these members are truly outraged when they have been WAAAY more nasty on SYG/NHB.

And yet I'm not entirely convinced that it's a bad thing that they have reacted
now and it seems strange to criticize them for that. Criticize them for not reacting in other situations, if you must criticize them for any perceived hypocrisy. That's fine and I can understand that - I think it's fair to take a person's outrage now and question why they have not been outspoken previously.
However - not only are many people who are reacting negatively probably the same people who did support women who came out against Cosby and who do care about these issues, but also I can guarantee you that there are stans who aren't angry
just because its their fave. And even if they are, talking about these issues and becoming conscious of problems, ideally with acknowledgement that they have not addressed these issues in the past and could or should have done so, doesn't seem like that much of an issue to me.
This is more about Kanye and the media he produced and whether there are problems with it than about those people who take issue with it. They are separate discussions to me.
