He's bipolar and that's definitely more sad than anything. Homie needs help and support...

Nah, sorry. I'm going with my favorite podcaster's take on this: mental health is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Kanye is bipolar, and unmedicated, both of these things are true. However, that doesn't mean we should simply ignore or excuse his comments as "well he's still in a manic state." He knows what he's saying, he's backed it up and doubled down when confronted on it.

Yes obviously, I'm not condoning what he did and said. He's very obviously mentally ill, I'm just pointing out that it's sad and he needs professional help.

who’s the podcaster in question? i’ve been looking for a new podcaster to listen to

Marcus Parks of Last Podcast on The Left and No Dogs in Space.

And Marcus definitely knows a few things about mental health. He's been around that block once or twice.
