One of the best examples of counter-signaling was Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala. She wore a black dress that covered her from head to toe, including her face. It was kind of a statement that “even my silhouette is famous”.
- jerrygenser 4y agoJust looked this up. This is surprisingly similar to how Kanye (Ye?) appeared on the Lex Friedman podcast recently. Even though they are split, is Kim still taking hints or strategies they learned or developed together? I actually could barely recognize Ye in terms of silhouette, but could understand his voice on the podcast.
- ealexhudson 4y agoSince the Met Gala is in May, the causality must be the other direction..?
- jerrygenser 4y agoI also went to a Kanye concert where he was putting a diamond studded full face mask on 5+ years ago in Philly where you couldn't recognize him. Should incorporate that into context as well.
- bikingbismuth 4y agoKanye has been fully covering his body/face for years (since at least the Yeezus tour in 2013).
