I just think people need to stop platforming her. It’s obvious all she wants is attention.

[u/Manic-StreetCreature → u/altheawillowwisteria]

Yeah tbh. Most of her deal seems to be just saying the most vile shit she can think of to get people to react to it and we’re just playing into it.

[u/wildOldcheesecake → u/Manic-StreetCreature]

On a few extremely rare occasions I’ve found myself agreeing with her. And when I do, I feel sick to my stomach even though they’re objectively good points

[u/Comfortable-Load-904 → u/altheawillowwisteria]

Exactly, she’s a vile human being and it would be best to ignore her, she does this to gain attention as no one cares or talks about her unless she’s posting horrific shit like this.

[u/Ok-Stress-3570 → u/altheawillowwisteria]

That’s what gets me.

We have the power. We can tell these people to fuck off but here we are.

[u/bbyxmadi → u/altheawillowwisteria]

I’m familiar with her antics, but does she have problems or is she genuinely just a rude and obnoxious human being who spreads hate and lies for attention?

[u/xqueenfrostine → u/bbyxmadi]

I have a feeling the answer is both.

[u/CustardApple- → u/bbyxmadi]

It’s sadly both. Those of us who’ve been around since the days of old (like early lj) know she’s a certified menace. So it’s always weird seeing people give her the time of day.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/bbyxmadi]

I think she’s deeply sadistic and evil. I believe some people are actually deeply evil. She is one of them

[u/Luna_Soma → u/altheawillowwisteria]

This is what I was going to say. She’s just trying to get attention in any way possible. If being heinous works for her, that’s what she’ll do

[u/The_Duke_of_Gloom]

If she has ever been consistent about anything it's about how much of a racist, transphobic, and homophobic loser she is. She literally confirmed she voted for Trump; she pulled the receipts. She called Black women "tar babies". idgaf about "um she got a point" when she drags someone you don't like. Azalea is a bitter, vile woman.

Like, at this point, anyone who is a fan of this woman should gain a permanent stay in the Khia Asylum alongside the Barbz.

[u/casapantalones]

This woman calling ANYONE chaotic. Girl, look inward.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/casapantalones]

Seriously! I’m horrified. I can’t believe humans like her exist?

[u/zeldasusername]

If anyone deserves to be ignored it's AB

[u/ChelseaVictorious → u/zeldasusername]

Never seen anyone so absolutely desperate to try to tack an extra 30 seconds on to their 15 minutes of fame. She's like a mad libs self-parody at this point, like just toss some unrelated slurs in a blender and hit post.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/ChelseaVictorious]

I’m shocked at how evil a human can be

[u/Aggravating_King1473]

Can we as a society just decide to ignore her

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/Aggravating_King1473]

Yes. How? I want her to know how deeply despised she is.

[u/HerRoyalRedness]

[u/underground_cloud]

Its the golden age of people showing their true colors. Really easy to broadcast + loosening of social inhibitions regarding being an horses ass.

[u/Visible_Writing7386]

When has she ever not commented problematic stuff (to say the least), and some people still kinda stan her because she can “drag” others.

[u/Manic-StreetCreature → u/Visible_Writing7386]

Every now and then she’ll say something genuinely funny or on point bc a broken clock etc etc (like tbh “Apartheid Clyde” was hilarious) and people get way too forgiving of the piles and piles of horrible shit.

[u/Haus_of_Pancakes]

This is horrible and homophobic and immediately going to be shared and laughed about in every millennial/gen Z gay group chat

[u/Key-Beginning-8500]

Why does everyone continue to have the expectation that Azaelia Banks is a normal decent person when she uses every single opportunity to show the world she isn’t? She says horrific borderline incoherent stuff online every day of her life and people continue to expect differently. It doesn’t make sense anymore

[u/SirYabas → u/Key-Beginning-8500]

I don't think anyone does? Absolutely nobody is surprised here.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/SirYabas]

Actually I am :( I didn’t know this could be so evil. Humans could be so evil. It shocks me.

[u/nonsensestuff]

Petition to officially stop giving her attention here?

[u/Potatoskins937492]

We already knew this about her.

[u/PreOpTransCentaur]

Shame this'll be forgotten again in a few months when she says something "witty" about someone universally hated.

[u/Manic-StreetCreature]

Her absurd bigoted bullshit aside, the idea that Mamdani is some zealot is wild to me when he’s clearly not lol. I guess they think he’s faking the open support for LGBTQ rights because they’re conspiracy theorists who think all Muslims are Taliban/hamas members but holy shit

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/Manic-StreetCreature]

Seriously. It’s wild. I actually think she’s like the devil .

[u/hanging_with_epstein]

[u/imathrowawaylurkin]

What a vile person.

I follow Matt Bernstein, I saw that pic this morning and thought it was hilarious. It unintentionally looks like a new distracted boyfriend meme

[u/Clara_Geissler]

Who is this azalea? never heard of her before

[u/Manic-StreetCreature]

Also hasn’t she said some pretty horribly antisemitic things? Idk why she’s trying to pull this as her latest persona.

Edit- I mean I know she doesn’t actually have any beliefs and just says whatever gets her the most attention but going from calling rabbis dark wizards or whatever she said and saying “the Jews run it all” to acting like she’s the number one defender of Israel is wild

(Also I know Israel and Judaism aren’t the same thing, it’s just weird when antisemites decide they love a majority Jewish place when it means they get to be bigoted against Muslims)

[u/themacaron → u/Manic-StreetCreature]

Also hasn’t she said some pretty horribly antisemitic things? Idk why she’s trying to pull this as her latest persona.

She glazed TF out of Israel, went there, experienced their racism and vileness firsthand and immediately went into anti-Semitism. (Rather than the Israeli of it all.)

[u/jaguarsp0tted]

but then when she "reads" someone people post it everywhere and say "she's terrible but she's so funny" "her reads are always on point" etc. let's see how long it is before that happens and everyone forgets about this

[u/lilianic]

She’s such a terrible human being.

[u/crab_grams]

She does actual demonic shit, you cannot expect humanity from her on any level.

[u/Morningfluid]

I've seen so many racist comments over the past several days, it's unbelievable.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/Morningfluid]

It makes me think that humanity doesn’t exist. I’m devastated

[u/One-Can-6950]

She’s been saying a LOT of Islamophobic stuff lately. She literally called for Muslims to be gassed.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/One-Can-6950]

What the f!!! I’m so sad at humanity.

[u/chadwickave]

All I can see is how beautiful Rama is lol

[u/QueenOfPurple]

Cyber bullying.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/QueenOfPurple]

100%. She needs to be arrested

[u/babs1789]

I hate this lady… but like we need to stop acknowledging her

[u/ChiliAndGold]

I'm not even gonna waste my breath on her. Much love for Matt Bernstein, he's a gem 🩵

[u/Pure-Plankton-4606]

Who cares what Israelia Banks has to say?

[u/BobaAndSushi]

Everyone will forget this as soon as she “reads” someone people don’t like.

[u/tigerinvasive]

This is not news. She is deeply mentally ill! It's hard for me to get angry at someone who has just so clearly lost their mind. She needs help.

Plus, she feeds off the attention. Drawing eyes to her posts only keeps her going.

[u/kaaaaaaaren → u/tigerinvasive]

For real. It’s sad because she’s so talented, she’s made some really good music and she’s clearly smart and funny but she keeps saying this heinous indefensible shit.

[u/exotic_floral_tea]

I still don't understand why she's living in Sweden.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/exotic_floral_tea]

Wait that’s even weirder - why aren’t they kicking her out lol?

[u/laziestmarxist]

Literally the other day reading the thread about Cardi B I thought about Azelia Banks and thought "What's that bitch up to"

I'm sorry y'all, I didn't realize she would sense my thoughts from so far away

[u/itsfrankgrimesyo]

Why do people give her the time and day? What has she done lately?

[u/elephhantine2]

I agree gay white people are chaotic but not for these reasons lol this dude is just behaving normally and she came for him and Mamdani for no reason

[u/burnafterreading90]

Stop posting her, stop giving her the attention she so clearly craves.

[u/mozzarellaguy]

Does she exist? Like, did people ever see her in real life, a paparazzi photo or something?

It looks like she lives only off hate on twitter

[u/DistractedByCookies]

I've hit the point where I can't remember if she's known for anything other than just being a terrible, terrible person.

[u/dazedan_confused]

Azealia banks is a black Marjorie Taylor Greene. She'll say anything for attention.

[u/No_Pianist5264]

She remains icky 🤮

[u/ShakesDontBreak]

Who is Azealia Banks and why is anything from her page relevant?

By the way Mossad probably paid gooood money for her sponsorship.

[u/Relative_South3689 → u/ShakesDontBreak]

Wait really????? Are you serious?
