this is not an apology, it’s a statement arguing that he’s a good person in part because he raped someone and listing exonerative factors to persuade people not to deplatform him. shocked more don’t see how manipulative this is.

![Excerpt from the Variety article detailing an interview with Fantano about the Halsey situation, reading:
Fantano insists he’s “not a professional edgelord” but a leftist who supports Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, and “was calling [Israel’s attacks on Palestinians] a ‘genocide’ before even Bernie was.”
“I don’t think I’m singularly alone in having found some early-2010s internet-edgy humor funny, or in a satirical way reviewing some memes on the internet as a joke,” he explains, adding, “I’ve never said anything as edgy as an accidental 9/11 joke at Pitchfork’s expense, which [Halsey] very notably did.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ds4anlywept7rduitvma5vj2/bafkreib3ow6e5ifjzly6gzpf634sms7qwo7rkwbfig3mr2u7nk6vcviriu)
