...

West has hyped up his announced album even further with the publicity he gained from courting controversy. Liberals have shown off their willingness to enforce ideological purity, no matter who the offender is. And the far right has demonstrated, once again, that they’re willing to flip-flop at the slightest sign that they might be able to land a mainstream celebrity recruit. “Don’t trade your authenticity for approval,” West tweeted last week, to the tune of 170,000 retweets and 344,000 likes. Too late.

Here's the Scott Adams blog that WaPo illiterately reads as saying rape is men's "natural instinct". See if you can support that reading.

Adams example in the blog was about Hugh Hefner not being cut out for marriage. He's certainly not saying not to blame men for raping etc and in fact explicitly does blame men who don't control antisocial urges, he just describes those urges as natural. Saying they are unnatural is a much harder case to make imho.

These reactions typify the left and right’s relationship to celebrities. Progressives can easily pivot away from any public figure who makes him or herself toxic, like West and country artist Shania Twain. After all, plenty of other popular personalities do align with their politics. It’s not as if progressives are wanting for representatives among the culturally influential.
