Only about 3 of those are offensive to be honest. For example, converting her jewelry's worth into the French minimum wage is not mocking how she got robbed.

Saying the French are celebrating KK's robbery is an obscene exaggeration, and what is really offensive. Fuck this article and its writer.

So this article posits that 'the French' are being cold and callous about KK's robbery and then shows us like six tweets?

Sorry but what world do we live in right now? Like, is this actually journalistic or even thread worthy? This just seems really stupid.

How many tweets would suffice?

Damn, it's not that serious. I was joking about the French being cold as fuck.

Sheesh. You know you guys that are complaining do have the option of not clicking this thread or the link, right?

One, Kanye doesn't bail on shows,ever,didn't even miss a tour stop after his mother died.
Two, it was a festival show not a tour stop so it's now as bad, plus he had already played 40 minutes.
Three,it doesn't matter, his wife was tied up and robbed, who wouldn't bail? He's more than 100% justified.

It's not really about the amount of tweets but you can really find people saying any stupid or offensive shit on twitter, using it as a jumping off point for a discussion about something like this - especially under the guise of a nation's reaction - is disingenuous as all Hell.

Yeah, we do but we also have the option of criticising something. Maybe I should follow you into every thread you post a criticism in and say 'you don't have to click on this', 'you don't have to watch it', 'you don't have to play it' or any other type of lazy argumentation.

That's an awfully simplistic way of looking at it. Yes KK was lucky enough to be born into a family and yes the sex tape has enabled her "career" tremendously but make no mistake, she is a shrewd business woman and what has happened since the sex tape is not coincidental.

Let's be absolutely clear, the reason the sex tape has made her famous is because of her connection (her father and Paris Hilton) without that fame/original wealth no one would care and she wouldn't be as successful as she is.

Does that mean she's not working hard for it? No.

It's not coincidental, you're right - it's the rich getting richer.

It's simple. Attitude. If you harbour a negative attitude toward those more fortunate than yourself you have absolutely no chance of ever becoming anything like them. No chance.

In a world where people are making millions on fucking YouTube it saddens me that there are still people who decide that it's wrong to dream of a better life.

And the dreaming is the easy bit, it's the execution that's really tough.

Worse for me here (and the standard it sets) is how so many people judged their reaction to a potentionally traumatising crime on whether or not they liked the victim.
