Lisa is an American TikToker who goes by the handle @ stalkedbythefeds, where she posts videos alleging she is under FBI investigation as a result of her having an affair with an FBI agent named Lenny DePaul. She claims that ever since she told DePaul's wife of their affair, the FBI has retaliated by opening up an investigation against her. Her proof that she is under investigation includes:
Videos of random people in public
Videos and pictures of cars parked outside of her house, cars with tinted windows, or cars with „weird license plates"
People sitting in their cars outside of her gym
Other insane nonsense
How does she have time to schizo post all day? She previously was a psychiatric nurse pratictioner, but now she collects monthly disability checks for an undisclosed disability, which some of her viewers assume is some sort of mental illness causing her delusions. She claims that the FBI is trying to find evidence of her committing "insurance fraud" relating to her disability, and that they've concocted schemes to make her look like she isn't actually qualified. Or alternatively, just find her guilty of absolutely anything so Lenny can get his sweet, sweet revenge over 4 years later.
Here are some of the ways she claims the FBI have tried to entrap her:
She said that the FBI approached her hairdresser and convinced her to become a CI. She says it was "so obvious" to her because her hairdresser "Started asking questions." She claims that almost everybody that she interacts with is in cahoots with the feds and anybody who isn't will be coerced into becoming an informer.
She also claims the FBI turned one of her lifelong friends into a CI. Supposedly, the FBI tried to get her to commit fraud by convincing her long-time friend to ask Lisa (who was a RN at the time) if she could help get the friend's sister on disability, because she couldn't work due to health complications. Lisa says she "didn't take the bait", and instead accuses her friend of selling out to the FBI when she was seemingly just looking for help for her sister.
She again claimed that the FBI poached one of her friends, this time by trying to get Lisa (still a RN at the time) to sign "emotional support animal" paperwork so she didn't have to pay the pet fee to her landlord. Suprise Lisa, the FBI isn't setting you up- your friends are asking favors from you.
Recently, she announced that to escape the feds, she was going to be moving to Bali (which to many may seem like a worse fate…) But, lo and behold, to the shock of almost no one, within less than 4 days of moving she claimed she was still being followed in Bali. Including the riveting proof of: a lady standing outside on her own porch (complete with scary music in the background)
Although on the surface, this may seem like just another insane schizo "gangstalking" victim, some of her followers have theorized that this is all a very intricate scam concocted to scrape the wallets of r-slurred tiktok users and collect tiktok creator fund money in addition to her disability (which I believe in itself would be insurance fraud. We got er boys!!! ) Her denial of this is not helped by the GoFundMe link in her bio (even if it's only raised less than $300 with a goal of 20k.) Another TikToker, https://tiktok.com/@mamaphilly26 released a series of videos claiming to have previously worked for Lisa, and stating that she believes her story is a ruse.
Even if the whole stalking story is fake, I do not believe that she is not crazy. This is not the face of a sane woman:

By conceptual art I mean art where the art itself is really unimpressive, but what matters is the idea of the thing.
For example, in 1977, Walter De Maria had a one-kilometer long brass rod buried vertically in Kassel. If you visit today to see this artwork, it looks like almost nothing, a little brass token someone dropped on the ground:
For some reason, I think this is a really cool and impressive work of art, maybe because it took specialized oil industry equipment and months of drilling to create. Seeing it in person, it makes you think of everything hidden in the world that we experience only the tiniest surface impression of.
They could have just stuck a 1-meter rod in the ground and said "oh, use your imagination for the rest," but that would have been crap imho. I respect the hustle, I suppose.
In contrast, I have no time for shit like Duchamp's Fountain - like, "oh it's a urinal -- but in an ART GALLERY?! -- oh my god how will those squares handle it?"
What do other RSP folks think? Conceptual art, based or cringe?
Or what else is going on with you? I have a cold and I'm resisting the temptation to take a bunch of meds because I want to be able to drink later.

mark fisher predicted the current cultural stagnation and how it would infect people's thinking too: a society where the populace is hyper-judgemental, rigid and rejecting of any true deviance from the norm. but even he probably didn't anticipate just how blind people would be to their own lameness. at the time he talked about how leftist spaces had turned into moralizing purity tests that would suffocate discourse, but this mindset isn't limited to the libs anymore, everyone is in on it now too. the political consists of fake resistance; libs calling people names and nazis (drumpf, elmo), chuds spamming wojaks and pepes like its the 2012 reddit rageface era.
the culture industry isn't exactly new either, but it's impressive how it keeps optimizing itself. the biggest pop culture movement is swifties - the most boring, anti-art, corporatized fandom phenomenon in human history. mediocrity has never been more carefully distilled and refined than in her person. rap, once a supposedly vital genre, is currently making headlines for rappers having small peepees and being addicted to bussy and porn. the best youth culture can come up with is either idolizing already dead millenial culture or mass producing brainrot.
mass culture has been trapped in endless nostalgia loops for years, but even the internet - which used to be a wild, chaotic place - has finally been reduced to either hyper-policed, corporate-moderated mush (reddit dot com) or irony-poisoned wastelands where every conversation either degenerates into the same three wojak memes (ding ding ding, this is where we are right now) or is suffocated by asking of the reader to withhold their habituated responses.
this isn't just stagnation, it's full on social decay. if it took on physical form we could observe the brain worms slowly digesting our frontal lobes. I thought I could deal with cultural stagnation but I honestly didn't expect it would become this authoritarian and that its rulers would be this lame.

I've lately felt the need to make a few posts looking back on the days when Reddit wasn't completely lame and normie-fied, and this seemed like a good place to start. This occurred back in the days of 2015, ten years ago now, before Reddit would go on to become completely buckbroken by Trump's victory and G*mergate, thus ushering in the soulless website that is modern Reddit. The drama sub was in its infancy, culture wars and Tiktok hadn't ruined online discouse, it was a simpler time.
Back around the end of 2014, a subreddit would appear by name of 'April30th2015' with a sidebar message and post from user '20141220' explaining that he had mysteriously time traveled in his sleep back to the year of 2014 and felt the need to warn everyone of the impending solar flare disaster on April 30th, 2015 that would effectively plunge the world into chaos. Note: I had difficulty finding the original post as the sub OP eventually deleted their account but most of the sub's other posts are still readily available. The sidebar reads:
At 0250 UTC on Friday 1 May 2015 (which is late on Thursday, April 30th in the US) the power goes out throughout the world due to a solar storm on the level of the Carrington event of 1859 (though most people won't know the cause for several months): the power has gone out and there's no more running water or food deliveries ... and it will be this way for many years to come.
Within a the short period of time leading up to April, the sub amassed a decent amount of attention and as expected, reactions were very mixed.
Most immediately suspected it was a larp and reacted accordingly, quickly developing a meme culture around it and shitposting about the coming 'skeleton apocalypse'.
But this is Reddit and inevitably, some would take the bait.
Realscienceguydude comes to explain to us why time travel is impossible:
And 2015 Reddit responds as 2015 Reddit does:
Another brave skeptic steps forward:
And of course, some would play into the larp to the ridicule of most of the users.
The OP would eventually gain his own cabal of edgelords playing along in every post
Horrible... very horrible things await this poor planet
I did it, but I couldn't stop them. Their plans have only been delayed for a year.
However, the reactions that would attract the most attention would be the ones genuinely panicking under the conviction that societal collapse was upon us.
I'm legit kind of freaked out about this, someone tell me why I shouldn't be, please.
This guy is a fricking butthole
Gullible person with anxiety here, is this roleplaying?!?!
Now in the days leading up to April 30th, the larp would start to amp up: 20141220 would prophesize that a Malaysian Airlines planes set to take off the morning after April 30th would crash. Reactions were, again, mixed but largely skeptical but this wasn't enough to stop one user from rising up to the occasion.
He'd go on to argue in a now deleted post about his valiant efforts to stop this terrorist.
Now, after rumbleshit had supposedly contacted the authorities over this, 20141220 would abruptly delete his account and a gloating thread would follow.
With the bulk of his gloating occurring here
But that wouldn't be the end of this as new accounts stepped in to push the larp.
I am 20141220, and I do not live in Greater London
Many would argue in the comments section about whether he was the legitimate 20141220 or not, but a new account would soon appear. The user SaveTheSpyCrabs would step forward with a post announcing he was 20141220 and this had merely been an epic troll.
He never broke character, *I never broke character.
He'd go on to try to argue some sort of proof in the comments but users remained skeptical. April 30th of 2015 soon approached and to no one's surprise, nothing happened. Users responded accordingly.
SpyCrabs himself would show up to shitpost and try to revitalize the edgelords.
But this time around, Reddit users weren't biting.
SaveTheSpycrabs most recent post is just him roleplaying.
The subreddit would die a slow death as users got tired of skeleton posting and many moved on to other pastures. Nonetheless, this sub is one of the last remaining vestiges of what Reddit was like in a time not wrecked with culture wars slap fighting.

A diaper/baby fur v-tuber (Twitch partnered, btw!) had a little melty because he kept getting less and less viewers on his super entertaining streams. He got all depressed because his true friends weren't even there and his jannies abandoned him. His dreams of being a singing/video gaming diaper tiger cub icon were seemingly circling the drain!
In his lowest point, he encouraged his viewers to treat him like a lowly CIA neighbor

If you dont know who destiny is, hes a Political Streamer (now, he was a SC2 streamer before), the debate lord, the debate king if you will. He will debate you on anything, hes the contrarian extraordinaire, and extremely r-slurred. He is also a well known s*x pest, having s*x with mid streamer girls who are in his orbit, like literally everyone.
If you don't remember still, remember the peepee suck expose which took down KiwiFarms
https://rdrama.net/post/321849/trans-folx-have-tried-but-it
12 Years ago he leaked the nudes of a girl and has been doing shit like this since, he just cant keep it in his pants or the pics in his phone.
That girl was called BlueTea
Here is the drama on gamefaqs
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/939643-starcraft-ii-wings-of-liberty/63851481?page=4
Cut to current times him fricking orbiters and getting into trouble has become more and more frequent.
We can dig into all these, his wife, his kid, his frick ups etc but thats gonna take 2 years of my time so lets get to the latest happenings
So this streamer thot named Pxie alleges Destiny intentionally leaked the video of her sucking his peepee and other sexual activities, I think its in the KF thread among the leaked clips
She is suing this manlet now for whatever legal reason, she has a gofundme setup which is going no where
https://www.givesendgo.com/suedestiny
LSF Thread on this drama
Those DMs he sent apologizing and offering "any financial help you need" to her are pretty telling. Don't know how he gets out of this one
I mean he has a past history of leaking people's nudes. That was the first big drama with him and bluetea. Still shocked people didn't make a big deal how he essentially had a casting couch on twitch.
I never digged into how or why his nudes were leaked, but after doing so after seeing your comment there seems to be a pattern of him sharing intimate pictures with others he percieves as close friends. First bluetea and now this shitshow a decade or so later. Disgusting behaviour.
He has his own Ghislaine Maxwell and thats Kyla aka Notsoerudite who "was essentially functioning as Destiny's personal Ghislaine Maxwell by keeping the victims quiet and compliant."
This is her btw
There are more?
Melina suggested that her leaked videos were shared without her consent. See https://old.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1hlpbjm/destinys_exwife_confirms_revenge_porn_rumors_done/
about time this goes more public.
This has been known for a month now in other places
surprised it didnt get deleted from here
how is destiny sending nudes of other people without their consent to a 19 year old girl okay.
not to mention destiny is like what 36 hitting up teenagers
I think he legitimately has a s*x addiction. This has always been his issue going back over a decade now. All his past relationships blew up because of his weird sexual antics.
He's a 36 year old multi-millionaire and he's still sending cringe DMs to random groomercord teenagers he hasn't even met? He could meet up with dozens of different women in Miami to frick if he wanted to, why is he still doing this cringe shit?
He has been doing this for 13 years now. His original drama was leaking nudes of Bluetea back in the Starcraft 2 days.
Now another chick is accusing of leaking AUDIO?
Streamer Chaeiry claims Destiny non consensually recorded and shared intimate audio of her
This is serious. The person who received the recording from Destiny was not aware I did not consent to the recording. They recognized me by my voice and messaged me today out of concern.
— chaeiry 🍒 (@itschaeiry) January 21, 2025
I don’t feel comfortable sharing more right now.
Reference Image for judgement purposes
She leaks more deets here
These adults who are financially tied business partners having the audacity to involve themselves should not be allowed to pass judgment or question the behavior of others unreciprocated.

Why would anyone let this dude have access to a vagina?
I WONDER WHY
On this video you see him 4 years ago talking about sharing porn with people without their consent (timestamp 04:29:49)
Lmao, you know the situation is fricked when a political streamer doesn't react to the president's inauguration
The saddest thing is knowing that nothing will ever come from this, since D has survived equally bad situations like the Ana one before
Pre-facing this has been the only allegation I seen. I wouldn't say I'm a destiny fan but have used him as background noise for some video games, I could care less about leaked audio and doesn't change what view i have of destiny
He did this to multiple women and it's been a pattern for 10 years. Pxie is suing him over the fact he shared videos of her without her consent. It should change. Your opinion.
This is "Ana" aka Anavoir btw, THIS IS ANOTHER WHOLE HE SAID SHE SAID PSYCHO B-WORD R-SLUR NONSENSE
If you look for controversial comments, its all DDG aka Daliban running defense for their streamer throughtout the thread
its mostly like "who said we are defending him!?" "he did no such thing" "lets wait for the lawsuit to settle" pure
Now lets look at /r/destiny shall we? The Daliban/DDG home

TLDR
/r/destiny is removing all posts related to this and relegating everything to the mod posts.
Now lets see the SJW Side, aka /r/YoutubeDrama
Pxie releases a statement, states she is suing Destiny in federal court for revenge porn
ed already
Here is the link to the tweet thread:
On Nov 29, the streamer Destiny non consensually shared my nudes, making me a victim of revenge porn.
— Pxie (aka supreme goddess) (@pxielovee) January 20, 2025
I will be suing him in federal court.
Here is my story;https://t.co/OIxivpRG56
Here is the link to her substack where she has her written statement: https://pxie412.substack.com/p/i-will-be-suing-steven-kenneth-bonnell
Good luck! I really hope his ex-wife Melina does the same. She's also visible in those revenge porn leaks and she confirmed on her stream it was non consensual. Destiny is a vile person.
She's probably getting death threats from his audience already. Hope she's got a good support system and can inspire some of the other victims to come forward.
Melina said she doesn't want any negativity, drama or harassment and only wants to focus on the positive things in her life from now on. That makes me think she is afraid of Destiny and his community to talk further about this or to take legal action, which I completely understand tbf. His community is absolutely disgusting, they are already calling pxie names on Twitter.
With any fanbase you're probably going to have 1. die hard fans, 2. that are chronically online. Bashing a whole community is super unnecessary. Read through the comments under this post, and tell me if it aligns with your perception of dgg community.
DGG are Kiwi Farms on steroids. They even fundraised to cover Kiwi Farms server costs. Stop covering up that you are part of one of the most toxic harassment groups on the internet.
Removed thread from /r/destiny
They have a mod post sticked now. This was removed btw
It said
Edit: Do not link or talk about things here. If you even suggest going somewhere in this thread you will be nuked. Do not talk about anyone involved in this whatsoever.
Another thread on /r/youtube Drama Destiny gives a statement on the Revenge Porn Allegations
I'm seeing a lot of people in that thread saying that he leaked nudes. They weren't just nudes, they were full blown s*x tapes. That's what that shithead is sending to random women he's trying to frick and the fact people are obscuring that, purposefully in a lot of cases is disgusting. Just based on how sloppy and reckless he is, I can almost guarantee more women are going to come out with proof that, he sent them s*x tapes of women he recorded.
I still don't get the logic with this, what is he trying to do? Show off how good he is at doing s*x?
This is just damage control. No taking accountability, no taking responsibility. Just damage control.
Forget accountability/responsibility, he didn't even admit his misdeeds
Oh yes he did. Unintentionally.
thats what he is SIS! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!
Age old thread on SRS
about this pest
There is a well-known Starcraft 2 player, Steven Bonnell, also known as 'Destiny' who has been caught up in a rather disgraceful scandal, causing him to pull out of a MLG championship. Despite having a girlfriend, he took advantage of a much younger fan known as 'Bluetea', and then shared naked pictures of her with his friends calling her, amongst other names 'Shrek' and 'Butterface'.
Understandably feeling humiliated, she somehow was able to gain access to his Twitter account where she then leaked peepee pictures he had been sending her. In her own words, and from this thread ([+14] but she deleted her account)
I'll come out and say this is Bluetea. I really have nothing to lose.
Long story short, Steven leaked nude pictures of me to his Skype friends. He then joked about how "fricking hideous" my face is compared to my "beautiful body." They joked about how I look like Shrek. I do have a big nose, I guess.
Someone who apparently was in the chat room emailed me from a gmail account consisting of a bunch of random numbers. It had the chat log.
When I confronted him about it, he first feigned ignorance. When it became clear he was then just going to ignore me, I snapped. I had his email password from when I used to help schedule his lessons. I changed his email password, which enabled me to change his Twitter and Skype passwords. I have a folder full of peepee picks and, because I am so nice, tried to choose the most flattering to post.
My actions resulted from the build-up of many things he's done to me that I don't have time to mention, but his betrayal of my trust was the last straw. I hope you enjoy his peepee.
TL;DR - Don't leak nudes of me because I will steal your Twitter and post pictures of your peepee.)
How does Steven Bonnell respond?
I never feigned ignorance, just didn't want to get into it right before an MLG.
I can't imagine how you can think that people will never, ever, ever talk about anything personal or private amongst their friends. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't see myself caring at all if you shared pictures between your close friends, especially given the fact that I'd never see any of them in real life.
Glad you think you have a right to every single private conversation I ever have, though. Posting pictures of my peepee to 37k people + cutting me off from access to my e-mail/twitter is probably reasonable payback for me discussing something personal with two friends.
Thanks for the new work location, I wonder what your boss will think of this. Or your dean, for that matter. I wonder if it'd affect your scholarship or financial aid?
The thread itself is full of his fans coming out with comments like this
1: "Umm Bluetea is a slut [+63]
And of course, no SRS thread would be complete without the obligatory calling-a-woman-a-c*nt, even when the guy is completely in the wrong, in this case, because he has to pull out of his match:
And to top it all off, his poor girlfriend is brought out to protect him, partially because of a case of mistaken identity, as some people think she leaked the sick pictures. Her name is /u/Erisann and she responds in this thread coming to his defence.
How does she feel about the fact her boyfriend is showing peepee pictures of himself to his female Starcraft fans?
tl;dr Guy shares nude pictures of a female fan and calls her Shrek and Butterface, she responds by posting his peepee pictures on Twitter, he threatens to call her school and work and get her school scholarship and financial aid cut, his fans rush to his defence.
UPDATE:
Destiny has created this new thread currently at [+17]
Of particular interest are his exchanges to cattypakes who asks why do people defend you? [-9]. Steve Bonnell responds and then eventually makes it clear that he is indeed very much determined to get 'just punishment' [+6]:
It's not about "teaching someone a lesson", it's just punishment. I'm pretty sure what she did was illegal on quite a few levels, and the fact that it's damaging to a business that I use to support my family makes me a little less willing to "turn the other cheek".
Yeah, I acted pretty scumbaggish and shared her picture with a couple friends. But for her to leak a bunch of shit to 40k people? Why on earth wouldn't I share that with her employer and school when she tried to effectively destroy my livelihood?
UPDATE: ALL THREADS RELATED TO THIS HAVE BEEN REMOVED

The crazy thing to me is how he managed to keep people from talking about this for a month. 1 month ago, I got a temporary ban from LSF for "Harassment: Unsourced Allegations" for saying there is no way he had consent to share the videos
There's really no way to defend what he did and that's why you only see lunatics like Darius defending Destiny. And I know legally some think it would be hard to fight but with the amount of victims and secret recording aspect of everything I think there could be a chance for justice.

White People Love Kanye West
September 12, 2008
Daniel O'Brian
Cracked pictures replaced by carefully chosen gifs to imitate their clever impact
I think I might've gotten Kanye West arrested, and now I feel like such a doofus. Especially given my history, I mean, this isn't the first time I got a hip-hop star in trouble with the law, (devotees will recall that, several months ago, I may or may not have convinced Vanilla Ice to beat his wife). In fairness, if I had known Kanye was going fly off the handle and get so aggravated that he'd smash an expensive camera at an airport, I probably wouldn't have said what I said. I should back up...
Thursday, September 11, 2008 6:00am I stumbled into Rutt's Inn, this amazing pancake place in LA, and Kanye was already there, waiting for me. He stood up and waved me over enthusiastically. "OB," he shouted, "My man, get over here, we got just oodles of shit to discuss." Ugh. He's a lot of things but, above everything else, Kanye West is a morning person. I am not. I sat down across from him, rubbing my eyes, my head throbbing and my throat dry. "Thanks for meeting me, Dan, this is really-" I silenced him with a hand wave. "I'm gonna stop you right there, 'Ye. This conversation isn't moving another inch forward until I get at least two cups of coffee in me. My eyes feel like fricking pinecones." Kanye started laughing. If I had to guess, I'd say it was because he was picturing two pinecones fornicating. That was, of course, not my intention, but Kanye probably couldn't tell that there was no hyphen between "fricking" and "pinecones." Because this was a spoken conversation.
OGs know this gif
I digress. Aside from the giggling, Kanye graciously allowed me several minutes of silence while I wolfed down two cups of black coffee. Kanye was such a fan of mine and I think he's alright, (I guess), so we both agreed it would be a good idea for the two of us to work on a project together. It was really more his idea than mine, but I figured I'd at least hear him out. I was, after all, writing a pilot for an animated children's TV show about a genetically-enhanced mouse that gets elected president; Kanye could easily do the voice for the sassy bird that becomes the vice president.
"Now," I said, after I'd finished my coffee, "what kind of project did you have in mind?" His eyes lit up. "First off, I just wanna say how psyched I am that you're meeting with me. I'm such a fan of the blog and your early mixtapes, from back when you used to rap. I mean, you're the Statutory Rap, man! I am so honored to be in your presence." "Settle down, Kanye." "Right, my bad. Anyway, I was thinkin' we could do an album together. You and me, you know, I bring you outta retirement, and we change the game, you know? You're still tight with Jay-Z, so I'm sure he'd be down to guest on a few tracks. It'd be tight, we'd get Weezy in there, Swizz Beatz. This shit's gonna be hot!" Rapping? That was the last thing I thought this meeting was going to be about. To be honest, I had no interest in the project and I made no attempts to hide my dissatisfaction. Kanye noticed immediately. "What's wrong," he asked. "You can still spit fire, right?" "Don't be a child, Kanye, of course I can. That's not the point." "Well, what is the point?" Now, before I go any further, I want you to know that I didn't think I was saying anything revelatory. I honestly didn't think I was telling any tales out of school, and I didn't mean to surprise or enrage Kanye West in any way. I mean, he says things like "psyched" and "oodles." I figured what I was about to say was common knowledge... "Well, Kanye, I was considering making a comeback, but I'm just not sure it should be with you... I mean, I want to make rap music but, you know. Not for white people." Kanye seemed positively shocked. "I don't understand," he said after some time. "Oh, uh, it's pretty simple. White people love you." I thought he was gonna have a heart attack, but it's true. White people love Kanye West. So much so, in fact, that I find it amazing that the foremost experts on stuff white people like have never mentioned it.
that was a real website in 2008 that white people posted on Facebook
Kanye West, still somewhat in shock, was ready to speak. "You're messing with me. This...this can't be. I'm... I'm from the street, I-" "Everyone knows where you're from, Kanye. And, hey, it's nothing to be ashamed about- you're selling a ton of records, you're a dynamite producer and you've sold out shows all over the globe. And there's nothing wrong with making music white people love, plenty people have done it in the past. James Taylor comes to mind." Kanye West threw up all over the table. "You lyin', DOB, you must be lyin'." Has he seriously never suspected this? "You don't believe me? Alright, as an experiment, go ahead and ask any average, suburban middle class white person if they're into rap. Go ahead. Right now. Pick someone off the street, anyone, and ask if they like rap music, and I'll tell you, (unless they're an actual hip-hop fan), they're gonna say 'Eh, I'm kinda into rap. I think Kanye West is great.' Trust me. Just about every white person who's worried about coming off as either uncool or a racist, which is to say, 'every white person,' will say almost that exact sentence, verbatim."
white hands at the ye show
"Stop it. Stop it! I don't believe you." "Well now you're just being a baby. Kanye, man, do you have any idea just how many high-maintenance white girls have 'Stronger' memorized? Fricking all of them, man. And, I mean, haven't you noticed that the way you dress informs the style of idiot white guys everywhere?" He put his fingers in his ears and started shaking his head violently. "Look, there's just something about you. You're just gangster enough that white people will listen to you and feel cool and edgy, (yet comfortable), but not quite gangster enough that white folks will be afraid of you. Or, you know. That anyone else will actually like you. There's nothing wrong with being liked by white people. Heck, some of my best friends are white. But I'm just saying that if you decided you wanted to feature Regina Spektor on an upcoming single, two things would happen: no one in the hip-hop community would be surprised or impressed, and white kids at colleges across America would absolutely lose their shit.
and it could be on the 500 days of summer sequel soundtrack
" Seriously. U-Mass Amherst might have to shut down while all the students clean up after their simultaneous orgasm. Kanye was, understandably, having a difficult time with this new information. "But...but I'm from Chicago, man, the streets of Chicago." His eyes started to well up. "Oh, right, that's another problem. You reference Chicago a lot, and in your songs, sometimes you call it 'Chi-town,' which is fine, but other times you call it 'The Shire.' Now, uh... I know you think that's a cool nickname but...I don't know if you know this, but the Shire is where the hobbits lived in Lord of the Rings....Do...do you know what type of people love Lord of the Rings, Kanye? I don't think I need to tell you." "Oh my God." "Yeah. It's pretty awful." "I don't mean to rap for white people. I don't want to make white people happy." "Of course you don't, Kanye, nobody wants white people to be happy." "But why do they like me so much?" "Love, Kanye, white people love you. And I guess it's because you're catchy, uncomplicated and generally inoffensive. Let's be honest, all of your hits are pretty mom-friendly. Also you're very clear. White people are crazy about diction." "But still, my lyrics. I rap about life, man, and the streets. Doesn't that count for anything," he pleaded. "B-word please. You rap about working at the Gap, smoking pot and having s*x with drunk chicks. Those are the only things white guys do." "Why are you saying this," Kanye said with tears streaming down his face.
"Because I figured you knew!" Honestly. I assumed everybody knew. White people love Kanye West, Middle Eastern people love Lionel Ritchie, and Chinese people are afraid of Smash Mouth. These are Pop Culture Commandments, I don't presume to understand them, but I acknowledge them all the same. I spend plenty of time around white people, I've even been mistaken for white. But I'll never quite get why white people are so fascinated by Kanye West. Also Michael Phelps. White people are obsessed with Michael Phelps, I just don't get it. "But I sold so many records...." "That's true, you've got some insanely catchy joints, no one's taking that away from you. But, you know...Blink182 had some catchy shit too, but I don't think anyone would argue that they helped out punk music in any way. Do you see what I mean?" He did. And it hurt. He looked practically catatonic, sitting at that table, watching his world crash around him. I tried cheering him up. "Hey, on the bright side, you're bringing rap music to the whole world. You're introducing an entire generation of pasty, soccer-loving white folks to rap. Music History will look back on you fondly but, uh...the same way it looks back on Hammer." If the Rutts Inn had sharper knives, I think Kanye probably would've used one to stab someone at that point. I never was too good at comforting depressed hip-hop stars after a pancake breakfast. I know, that is an oddly specific flaw to have, but it's true. It's my one weakness. "Listen," I said, paying the bill, "I guess this a lot for you to digest, so I'll just leave you alone. I think you have a plane to catch anyway. But, hey, gimme a call if you have any interest in voicing a cartoon vice president named 'Dan Quail.' Do...do you get it?... Okay, I'll leave you alone." An hour and a half later, Kanye got arrested for flipping out at an airport and breaking a paparazzo's camera.
Whoops. *** So, uh...State of California...hopefully this should explain why Mr. West acted out the way he did. Have mercy on him, this is a tough pill for ole' Kanye to swallow. Please, take pity on him and be lenient in your sentencing. It's like Kanye finding out for the first time that there's no Santa Claus. Or, that there is a Santa Claus, and he just loves Kanye's music. Because he's a fat white guy.

In 2009, all Asians in the US had was Joy Luck Club, pandas and "azn." Complete cultural irrelevance and felt like representation peaked in the 90s.
Since then Asian Americans were a major part of some of the defining subcultures of the 2010s: raving, streetwear and designer fashion, anime, K-pop, gaming/streaming, tech bros, millennial wanderlust, MUA YouTube, "cool" chefs and campus politics.
Since the 2020s Asians have continued to take Ws while avoiding any backlash. The newest American ultra billionaire is Asian and is perhaps the only tech billionaire that isn't hated by most of the country, yet. Trump lost in 2020 in part due to backlash from healthcare workers, TikTok lovers and the optics of "Kung Flu" while winning in 2024 by softening on China and Tiktok. Stop Asian Hate was genuinely the last moment of left idpol unity before its collapse and that fake crisis was endorsed even by conservatives who focused on "who exactly are beating up Asians in SF 🤔." Asian directors won best picture three years in a row without any DEI accusations. Asians shifted right in 2024 and successfully rolled back Affirmative Action alongside whites but the focus is only on Arabs and Latinx for "betraying" the coalition. Even in this current moment Indian hate in the US and Canada is at all time high while Asians (who drive up the cost of housing more than Indians I bet) are enjoying record high Q scores. All while the stereotypical "virgin" has slowly shifted from pittiable East Asian math nerd to detestable South Asian bobs and vagene type. The entire political spectrum sees East Asian countries as the pinnacle of culture and India as a smelly den of male feminists. Jews are kicked out of leftism for their loyalty to a Muslim oppressing ethnostate while activists download little redbook. Every town has multiple boba shops and the number continues to increase.
Not sure if it's all a psyop or the payoff of several decades of keeping your head down and doing your homework but I'm wondering how much longer it can continue.
