Grimes goes full mask-off, likes and follows racist alt-right tweets and accounts

[bye]

Grimes has been on a descent ever since meeting Elon Musk, and she's done and said questionable things in the past couple of years.

But now it appears she has gone full mask-off and liked a tweet that follows the alt-right "Total N***er Death" meme.

The post she liked:

Context of the meme which originated from 4-chan.

She is also following numerous alt-right accounts.


Pretty sad to see but not surprising at all.

Yikes 😕

I wonder how their baby with the weird name will turn out in the end. Kid has no hope being a normal adult but at least he'll have cash.

 

[pizoxuat]

I mean, she let Musk convince her that she is not real, she is just a construct created to love him. And she admitted to this in an interview!

Not necessarily. Just because Musk got everything from his father doesn't mean he'll keep the gravy train flowing. I can see him wanting his children to fend for themselves and create their wealth from scratch, just like he did.

 

[The Lord of Cereal]

Jesus I had no idea that meme began with racism... fucking 4chan

I think I first encountered that on some Elder Scrolls meme page but realistically I think that checks out now that I actually find out the origin

 

[BossAttack]

Whose gonna call her?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

What the hell happened? I thought she used to be left-wing

 

[Birdie]

I feel like she's just dumb and just saw that as a silly historical meme without understanding the implications of it?

 

[heathen earth]

Grimes is not a very intelligent person.

 

[Bill Gaitas]

To think she used to be my favourite artist back in the Art Angels days... Just fuck off.

This is kinda where I land. I think a lot of times she tries to tie herself to things that make her sound smart or worldly but is really just kinda dumb

Yeah thats what a lot of her stans are saying.

But its all adding up, dating Chelsea Manning who has numerous alt-right connections, defending Elon inessentially, being friends with a serial abuser, following a nazi account, etc. Simply too much smoke for there not to be a nazi fire.

 

[Ashes of Dreams]

I question anyone who would date Elon Musk. Though I'm not sure I would qualify this as "full mask off". If I saw that tweet I would have no idea it was referencing a racist 4chan post. Is this a super well known meme or something? I'd legit never heard of it before. "Full mask off" to me would be if she liked a tweet saying the original 4chan thing.

Edit: I retract this. She actually follows this account and has liked multiple tweets by them. No way she hasn't seen their nazi shit.

I really don't think Grimes has earned the benefit of the doubt here. Not only was she in a relationship with Elon Musk (and has defended him on numerous occasions post-breakup) but she follows people like Bari Weiss. She's worse than "just kinda dumb". She fucking sucks.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Ok so she's not actually following alt-right accounts?

 

[Ganado]

I have personally never seen or heard about this meme. Doesn't make her less of a bad person though probably.

 

[KDC720]

She's never been the brightest bulb, listen to any interview with her and its very apparent shes vapid.

Doesn't excuse her behavior in the slightest though.

I'm going to presume this because without context it just looks like a meme about Caesar's conquest of Gaul

Whether you want to give her the benefit of the doubt or not... she definitely smells like a roll of nickels. Just seems like a gross person getting involved with gross stuff.

 

[Birdie]

Yeah I don't follow Grimes at all other than knowing her as Elon's ex but the one example the OP posted wouldn't make me think she went mask off on its own.

I'm sure she'll double down soon enough though like folks do.

People probably aren't going to give her the benefit of the doubt anymore but yeah I've seen people fall for crusader memes before just because they thought it was silly nonsense.

Did you originally have an image showing this? It looks like you linked to something but it was removed.

Grimes may very well be a terrible person, but liking that meme in no way constitutes going "full mask off"

Honestly a lot of people left and right will co-opt genocide rhetoric as a joke when talking about fictional or historical races that no one irl would presumably be offended by.

Of course I think usually you can quickly tell when someone is being edgy and when someone literally is just using it to hide actual racism.

While I know most celebrities don't necessarily deserve the benefit of the doubt, this feels like the most likely thing. Hell, I've definitely liked memes with problematic connotations without realizing it.

 

[Pet]

Not necessarily. Just because Musk got everything from his father doesn't mean he'll keep the gravy train flowing. I can see him wanting his children to fend for themselves and create their wealth from scratch, just like he did.

Wait this isn't adding up lol.

 

[Humanity]

Oh you mean the artist that ate spaghetti for an entire year straight and then had a dietician tell her that because of this she is malnourished is doing something dumb? You don't say!

 

[krazen]

I mean, it was copium that dating the guy who brought twitter in hopes of boosting alt-right content didn't reflect at all on her personal views.

Just like everyone who's always online and good with branding she just knew the right things to say considering her audience. But a rich person dating an alt-right billionaire was only going to end one way, they have a child together…it wasn't casual dating where she boots up Bloodborne and puts on headphones when he goes on an transphobic rant because the small talk and sex were good.

 

[Trouble]

[Birdie]

I will say I definitely recognized the language the meme used as definitely sounding like something actual racists would say with the serial numbers filed off.

 

[Stooge]

Yeah I'm not sure this is 'full mask off'

 

[Ashes of Dreams]

She is.

Looking at her Likes she has liked multiple tweets by this account too, this isn't just something that crossed her path randomly. So, yeah, she knows.

 

[KingM]

She has all the red flags and associations. No need to give her the benefit of the doubt. She's pretty openly showing who she is and it's not just kooky meme stuff.

 

[Royalan]

She was married to Elon Musk, among many other things.

What mask?

 

[Gotchaforce]

Loved her old stuff but dropped her years ago. Sucks.

 

[astroturfing]

man internet tough guy right-wingers have some super edgy memes, i wonder how many of them dare to repeat those things IRL.

They never got married but yes... two kids together.

Its funny how right after meeting him too her music got horrible. Art Angels was one of the best pop albums ever made and everything since has been trash.

But the post only has 258 likes and only 14K views, it didn't even go viral for it to possibly come across her feed. And that account itself is quite suspect. Being named after Oswald Spencer, whose works have influenced Nazis and fascists.

The Decline of the West - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Oswald Spengler - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Spengler is regarded as a nationalist and an anti-democrat, and he was a prominent member of the Weimar-era Conservative Revolution. Although he had voted for Hitler over Hindenburg in the 1932 German presidential election and the Nazis had viewed him as an ally to provide a "respectable pedigree" to their ideology,[4] he later criticized Nazism due to its excessive racialist elements, which led to him and his work being sidelined in his final years. He saw Benito Mussolini, and entrepreneurial types, like the mining magnate Cecil Rhodes,[5] as examples of the impending Caesars of Western culture—showcasing his stark criticism of Mussolini's imperial adventures.[6]​

 

[Birdie]

I think the original account is definitely probably a Nazi.

But yeah you do have a point it's a minor account you'd have to go looking for.

 

[mbpm]

She has been following those Roman worshipping accounts for a little bit.

 

[Snagret]

I distinctly remember the pushback against criticizing that whole situation, people being like "oh so I guess we're just gonna judge every woman by their husband's actions now huh? 🙄🙄".

And sure I get what they were saying but.... it's fucking Elon Musk my guys. He's literally an 80s cartoon parody of an evil rich guy, and an outright bigot. Like fucking come on lmao.

 

[CarbonCrush]

Why are people giving the benefit of the doubt to a person that cavorts with known racists?

 

[Titanpaul]

She married and had children with Elon.
Of course she sucks.
Shes sucked for years.

Yeah, I don't understand why people have kept giving her a pass and benefit of the doubt for years now. But I guess that's just to be expected if she made music you like…

Strangely hateful against (long deceased ancestors of) French people. Like its bad and disgusting, I am not saying it's not, but feels a bit outdated, to put it mildly.
