"Antisemitic song" is rather understating things...

[-] eureka@aussie.zone 29 points 5 months ago

On the other hand, I enjoy finally seeing a correct use of the word "antisemitic" by ABC News.

"i aint no anti-semite-semite"-

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

If only he could be denied entry back...

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 21 points 5 months ago

Get wrecked, dickhead

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Dude does anything for a spotlight so even this hitting news is a positive validating his relevancy

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Whatever. Fuck him, good for Australia 🥂

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago

shouldve taken his meds, which he now refuses to do.

Hey OP, I noticed at the bottom of the article it credits that it's a republishing of the original article by ABC. Always good to link upstream if you notice that happening, for example the upstream article might notice a mistake and correct it.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah I agree. Using the upstream source also helps keep the canonical URL so cross-posts and reposts can automatically be detected to show users where conversations about the topic may have already happened.

Hooray for an actually correct understanding of what Anti-Semitism is!

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago

Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.

the song itself is pretty awful.

Par for the course

How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.

The mf has no fucking bangers if he was reduced to forcing games to play his music in the background through non diagetic sound.

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Not true, Kanye's back catalogue is amazing. Anything before Yeezus was gold. It's been hit and miss since then.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Get real, he has always sucked.

Edit: the point of sampling is to elevate and curate hidden gems. In power, he took the well known gold that is 21st century schizoid man and somehow turned it to scum.

music in the background through non diagetic sound.

I had to look it up but it seems to me you are simply referring to background music.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

it's a common term in media analysis

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

yeah, to differenciate it from being on the radio in the game, which is more usual for open world games.

If you call an album Ballocaust , you might need to expect a little controversy at least.

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 4 points 5 months ago

I never knew you can get denied entry for being a bigot.

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

[-] princessnorah 2 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don't see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America's embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn't ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he's not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he's head of state.

Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It's not like it wouldn't clearly be a well supported move considering we've had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.
