As if Kanye hadn’t already been enough for a swastika shirt, retailers are now getting a motif for the rapper at Etsy.
Fans and haters floods Etsy
West’s sensational merchandise with the Nazi symbol is no longer available. This keeps fans like opponents: however, the musician’s inside does not stop from succeeding his successor. Some design Kanye-critical clothes, others celebrate it with other hate messages. On the online sales page Etsy, which use many small businesses to sell handmade items, there are dozens of motifs that stand against or to the rapper.
So the name of the musician is emblazoned under a large middle finger with a David Stage. The motif comes from a Deepfake video that attracted attention online. With the help of artificial intelligence, a number of prominent personalities from the film and music world- including Scarlett Johansson, Drake and Woody Allen- became animated as if they were wearing the design and advertising it. Contrary to this, in the Etsy competition shirts, on which the artist name “Ye”, Kanye West uses, is stylized so that it is reminiscent of a swastika and thus the origin design that the rapper sells himself.
Kanye West: “I am a Nazi”
Kanye West’s anti -Semitic attitude was known for a long time. But at the beginning of February, his attitude reached a new climax when he tweeted: “I am a Nazi.” The unmistakable sentence followed further relativizations of the Holocaust, including “Hitler was sooooo fresh” and “I will also normalize it, talk about Hitler, how it is normalized to talk about killing Nazis ”. In addition, he expressed support for the music colleague Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was sometimes sitting in custody because of sexual violence.
Shortly afterwards he campaigned in a super bowl spot for his clothing brand Yeezy. On their website, it was only a white shirt with a black swastika on it. In the meantime, the page and Kanye West website has been fired by its talent agency.
