Yeah, and I think in my mind, all of it is sort of connected. Like Ben Shapiro, nobody cared more about celebrities or talked more about celebrities than Ben Shapiro. He would love to be like, I don't care what Hollywood is doing, but he was obsessed with like Beyonce and Meg Thee Stallion. Like it was just like a negative obsession. Like, you know. Anti-fandom is still fandom.

When you make video after video about how much you don't like Meg Thee Stallion, in a kind of way, you are a fan just in the opposite direction. And so I think that Candace Owens really took that and learned how to perfect it. I think that she is much better at this than Ben Shapiro is.

The evidence being that her YouTube channel is exploding with people who probably would never watch any of Ben Shapiro's content.

America deserves closure. We deserve to know. Just putting that out there.

So in terms of where she's at now, like, you know, my question is like, has Owens, has this kind of like mainstream audience that she's been able to amass, has she changed her views? Is she trying to do a rebrand or a pivot? In an interview, she said, in terms of my perspective, I haven't changed anything.

Yeah, so I agree with you. I believe Owens when she says that her stances have not changed much. It's easy to be like, oh, well, she's pivoting to go mainstream now that she has these women in her audience who are interested in celebrity. And honestly, you can sort of see some of this in changes to her physical appearance. She was sort of known for having very severe hair.

The joke being that she had alienated herself so much from her fellow Black people that no Black person was going to do her hair, and that's why it looked that way. But lately, you've really seen this like softening. She's kind of going for like a softer public look. She is pivoting to different kinds of programming.
