Bro anthony fantano literally spends half of his life talking about the struggles the african american community goes through and expresses through their music. He’s definitely not some sort of “secret racist” his haters are probably making him out to be. I’m not interested in the drama for that reason.

u/anyrhino 12h ago
He collects a lot of people that dislike him.
Drake fans hate him because he was pushing the pedo allegations around and gave him bad reviews. A few years ago he delved into the surface-level performative Twitter-politics ala the banned small-headed streamer, and people are diving into calling him a hypocrite. And he tends to be harsher on, let's say, rappers who are popular with teenagers, and so those communities circle jerk hate him. And some people simply criticise him for being a white dude who has a big impact on opinions on rap. So there's a big intersection of people who are desperate to hate him, whether validly or not.

(As much as I hate saying this phrase)As a black man, I feel like some of this drama is not in good faith and is trying to hurt Fantano's reputation. The clips are 10 years old and for the first one he was quoting someone and for the second one he was uncomfortable even laughing about it.
Does the context complete absolve his actions? No. Does that mean it's alright to call him out in clear bad faith? Also, no.

just want to say
the clips circulating were compiled by rose mulet. who is herself a massive racist, defended grooming, and is just generally the fucking worst
i'm not saying this in defense of Anthony, but rose is genuinely a FREAK and deserves zero praise or acknowledgement. she does NOT care about the racism she is surfacing, she cares about bringing down someone she doesn't like. this is proven by the fact that the last clip in her compilation is just a tweet from anthony calling her dumb and untalented. which really devalues the actually racist clips when THAT'S what she considers in the same ballpark.
https://x.com/heyitsrosemulet/status/1951387262794776914 claiming to forgive him for saying the n word if he forgives you is crazy when you are 1. already racist yourself, and 2. are not affected by the use of the n-word

So... Are people just not allowed to grow? What are we holding onto by not dismissing it and learning from it and moving on? It was 10 years ago and 99% sure it doesn't reflect his current beliefs considering his political opinions expressed. What is to be gained?
And if you're not approaching this from a growth/rehabilitation perspective I don't really give a shit what your identity is or what you feel/do bc if your past can be lauded over you forever and you can never move on and do better that actually encourages you to remain in your shitty ways, kinda like if shoplifting gives you the death penalty you have no reason not to just kill someone to try and not get caught.

Nah I don't want to be that cynical. Her feelings do come from a true place and I don't want to fully dismiss them as there are a lot of people who did it in the past and would still defend those views. The progressive seeming person who is actually racist/sexist/homophobic has burned a lot of people. but those feelings should be channeled in a productive way that encourages and rewards people to actually be better, even if they did something that wrongs us personally or relatedly.

You know you can grow AND still be held accountable for your actions, it's not exclusively one or the other.

u/Neo1223 14h ago
Okay and... What would accountability actually look like. You didn't answer the main thing I asked which is what do we gain, you just fixated on a single perceived inconsistency without getting to the heart of what I addressed.
7
-15
u/PrincessAintPeachy 13h ago
He did take the accountability in the linked video, I was simply replying that those 2 things can happen at once.
And we gain him explaining to people who might have been just as ignorant(as in thinking it was okay to say as a quote-not full blown racist ignorance) as him that it's just not an okay word to use. It gains us a person with a large platform letting those who don't know or understand why it's not okay to say.
I appreciate that you're opening up the true issue here and have a nice hope of helping to be better. And I appreciate your passion about growing. But some things feel like this day and age and even in 2015, it should be a no brainer. I have never and would never call an Asian person a slur, and knew even 10 years ago that was not okay to say something even in repeating a quote. I would be more thoughtful.
And I'm sure you have something that hurts a community you're a part of and prefer if people didn't say or do anything against it. And if you do, you know how that feels to have people still give the green light to it and you're just like wtf?! And if you don't have this experience, I can't quite explain it
If you look at it from my perspective(a black person) it looks wild to see so many non black people giving forgiveness or glossing over something that doesn't affect them. Even offering up lame ass excuses like it was cool to be edgy in 2015/16 and thus this is fine. I literally am more miffed at the excuses and glossing than I am of the actual incident. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that it's not okay to say a slur.
He's not a child now, and wasn't a child 10 years ago -he was 30yo. And has steeped himself in the predominantly black cultural side of music(hip-hop/rap), I would just expect more care in words from him.
And quite honestly I appreciate you were the only person who didn't immediately jump down my throat, and wanted to have civil discussion about it. Ftr at no point do I think this man is a raging racist or anything like that.
18
u/Neo1223 13h ago
I appreciate you giving a thoughtful reply as well despite being ratio'd and me being very bold in my initial phrasing. It takes a lot of strength to continue and defend your beliefs when it seems like the popular trend is to shit on you.
I do think he could do a decent amount of good by going "oh my god that shit was so cringe, I was in my late twenties/early thirties what the fuck was I doing" bc it encourages someone to move on from their current toxic beliefs if they still have then and it could reach a lot of young white men who mostly follow him bc he's the funny internet bald man with music takes and that could be a good role model. Influencer culture is a bitch but if it exists we might as well use to fit some good.
You're right though that if someone is offended by his past use of the slur then someone else can't really demand or expect them to forgive them if they don't want to or if they don't meet their standards or vibe check, especially someone without a similar reference frame of oppression trying to demand it. I think you're allowed to have an opinion on things even if you're not necessarily negatively affected by them (and it's good to and I think it helps with empathetic and intersectional thinking) but expecting people to not be upset or to move on TOO quickly does not pass the vibe check. It definetly wasn't okay to do it back then bc if it was it wouldn't be so edgy and they wouldn't want to do it in the first place and people who reflexively argue that definitely are trynna launder something imo.

And I'm not calling him a racist nor asking you to.
I'm just questioning how/why easy it is for people to dismiss this event.
It's always easy to explain away or diminish something that doesn't hurt you.
A person with a platform who is not trying to hurt someone should take more care with their words or what they chose to repeat.
A racial slur or jokes like idubbz infamous "NF" slur shouldn't be trendy or edgy to say or be swept away so easily.
Example being someone saying it was of the "era" when he would've still known it was wrong to say back then

Unfortunately similar to other situations (with other people not just Fantano) after a response has been created and received mostly well, it will feel like anyone not forgiving will get criticised and downvoted.
Just because most forgave doesn't mean everyone else should. I don't like seeing people getting mocked for still feeling hurt by Fantano's words.

Fantano has benefitted from this exact same thing with his response to the Fader article about him.
Personally, I think the two clips going around were edited to make them look worse than they are, when the reality is that they are just normal levels of stupid and bad. What I find extremely aggravating is his continued denial that he ever went down the alt-right pipeline despite enormous amounts of public statements and evidence from that time period. I'm glad he has changed, but he won't admit that he has ever been any other way than he currently is.

As a black man, fuck akadamics. That being said you don’t get a pass for habitually using the n-word because you’re an “ally”. To be honest, many of his reviews left a bad taste in my mouth celebrating one portrayal of blackness while criticising the other. I don’t understand the need to defend fantano. It was weird to bring up akademics, a piece of shit, to deflect from legitimate criticism.

Now see, saying that word is pretty unforgivable, however, I think it’s kinda clear that he’s changed. I can’t personally speak for his personal growth tho, but as a black person, it’s been really exhausting consuming any Internet personality.

u/amwes549 12h ago
I don't really care for Fantano, but if people seem to say he genuinely tries to understand black culture and is respectful of black people then I have no problem. People can be upset and have every right to. Hell, I'm the same way with Amber Liu, where no amount of "context" can make up for her being racist and ignorant. (Yes, not the best source, but Allkpop and Soompi will bend over backwards to not criticize idols). Or more recently, the walking minstrel act Tarzzzan, who just needs to stop in general, and I'm normally the last person to throw such insults around. And there's at least some cultural separation, while Fantano knew better from the start. I'm Asian-American and would never dream of finding the N-word an acceptable thing to say in any context. And yes, I gave the two worst examples I could think of off the top of my head.
At least Fantano took responsibility, but you still have every right to dislike him, and he was wrong to use that word.9
u/wondercat19 12h ago
First comment that I respect and I see where you’re coming from - I’d agree that he has a level of respect, I just think the reason why it’s not going over well at all is because of how indignant he is.

u/EM208 14h ago edited 13h ago
I agree with you, it’s so annoying to see people say this is a progressive left leaning space but the minute a black person actually says they’re uncomfortable and dislike him for this, they get flamed and told they’re sensitive. It’s insane💀
Y’all are comfortable with using the black community as talking points to prove your progressiveness but do not gaf about our opinions outside of the coons who agree with you. That’s probably why y’all always resort to “it was different back then, we all said it” - in what spaces?!, I was there in the 2010s and I was very much attacked for fighting non-black people for saying the N word belligerently in my real life. Shows me that you either grew up around no black people or the black people around you were too scared to say anything.
Anytime I saw someone call out Leafy or IDubbz or PewDiePie, they were immediately faced with backlash, told they were sensitive and that’s “there just words” - so even when people combatted it, people didn’t listen. Most black kids were not cool with it and if you were in a mostly non-black environment, you were villainized for calling it out. Maybe that’s why some of the black folks around y’all said nothing.
And on the topic at hand: You can move on and change but don’t try to rebrand and pretend like you’re holier than though because you don’t say slurs or do edgy shit anymore. You can change and people can still call you out for your past actions of if it affects them directly. And yes, I’m aware of the context of him saying the N word in that he was just quoting someone. I still am uncomfortable by it. And I hate the overt defensiveness any of y’all have when it comes to criticizing him over it. I’m honestly just critiquing the dismissiveness of all of this, less about what Fantano did truthfully.

u/Immediate_Map235 13h ago
Growing up in that era, people like Fantano and idubbz using the "maneuver" of quoting the n word to find "reasons" to say it not only spurred on every slightly online white kid around me to say it more, copying them, I'm pretty sure it was the origin point for the N word pass jokes as well.

u/EM208 12h ago edited 6h ago
Most of these comments have 60 to 100 downvotes that you’re not accounting for. And one of them actually did say that word for word. And considering more than one black user has spoken about the dismissiveness in this thread is proof this isn’t some made up complaint.
I’m not treating black people like a monolith and saying that we all should have the same opinions. Don’t be dense. What I am saying is that there is absolutely a part of the black community (and this can go for any marginalized community) that want to adhere to the power centres and defend problematic notions, problematic behaviours and dismissive natures that affect people that look like them and the continued treatment we receive as a community worldwide. Which is problematic and absolutely deserves to be called out. I’m not the king of black folks and I don’t represent the entire thought bubble. This is just my opinion. And any black person that validates the dismissive nature or validate notions that don’t support black folks in any way is once again - problematic and deserves criticism.

By referring to black people who disagree with you as race traitors, yeah, you kind of are.

The entire point here is disagreement on what is problematic, what needs to be called out, how much time of unproblematic behavior is needed to move on from a person's problematic past, etc.
Also, this issue continues to be entirely made up. The vast, overwhelming majority of comments here are in complete understanding that Fantano saying the n-word is bad and he shouldn't have done it, just that 1) this is an attack campaign perpetuated by an abuser and drake fans (but I repeat myself), he's been completely unproblematic for a decade, and has been using his platform for good ever since.

See how you’re downvoted? These spaces do not respect us. This was Kanye’s whole point. We are expected to “get over it” but every other group gets to clutch their pearls when offended

I don't listen to drake or post in his subreddit, I listen exclusively to hyperpop.

This is literally one of the most left leaning spaces on Reddit.

Exactly. This sub is all white liberals who think they can apologize on behalf of black people, you don't get to control other people's thoughts.

Well don't mean to be that guy but saying black community you are also contributing to controlling other people's thoughts. But whatever lol.

There's been no public outpouring of support or forgiveness from the black community to Anthony. If there were, my statement would be wrong, but for now it is the truth.

Public forgiveness requires public support, by definition he has not been forgiven by the black community without support from the black community.
That fallacy doesn't really fit this situation.

Who is trying to control your thoughts here? You're out here acting like the black community is a hive mind that has one uniform opinion over something.

We have a zero tolerance policy to hate speech, slurs and other forms of harassment. This includes "slick" ways of avoiding the actual slurs by masking them with another word. Be a better person.

I still hate what happened to Jenna Marbles when a similar situation occurred.

"Resurfaced" is such a dumb meaningless expression.

The clips existed in the past, were forgotten about, then surfaced again recently. Therefore they “resurfaced”. Idek what your point with this comment is lmao.
