\\\"It\\\'s now a MEME\\\" isn\\\'t a defense. It does not in any way mean that it\\\'s something that \\\"deserves\\\" to have happened, or is in any way a good thing. I\\\'ve seen memes that more or less revolve around blatant sexism, racism, and the goddamn \\\'\\\'9/11 attacks\\\'\\\'. Does that mean it\\\'s okay to be sexist, racist, or that 3000 people died in a terror attack because some people on the internet think it\\\'s funny?
Obviously what Kanye did wasn\\\'t nearly to that scale, but just because it became an internet meme after the fact does \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' mean it was okay for him to do it.
On a smaller scale, ever watch America\\\'s Funniest Home Videos? The biggest laughs are people getting hit in the nuts. Now, would you think it was \\\"okay\\\" for someone to kick you in the jewels just because they think it\\\'s funny?
And no, this wasn\\\'t some harmless comedy sketch that just went too far. It was a jackass stepping \\\'\\\'way\\\'\\\' out of line, and ruining a once-in-a-lifetime event for someone. It doesn\\\'t matter if it\\\'s a meme, or if some people think it was funny.
It was a dick move, made by an asshole, and the fact some people can laugh at it doesn\\\'t mean it \\\"should\\\" have happened. What should have happened was she should\\\'ve been able to accept her award and thank her friends/family/parents/whathaveyou and not have to worry about some drunken asshole ruining it.
I put in the page that some people find it funny, which is enough. As I said before, my objection was the article stating as fact that his idiotic actions were excused and okay because some people find it funny. They aren\\\'t. That\\\'s why the entry is under Fan\\\'\\\'\\\'Dumb\\\'\\\'\\\'.
Also, I think your figures are a bit crossed. I\\\'d say more people were disgusted by Kanye\\\'s actions than found them funny, so if you go by the many vs. few argument, even \\\'\\\'less\\\'\\\' reason for it to be \\\"okay\\\".
