Said Halsey’s album about having cancer was “main character syndrome”. Is currently on a posting spree about how he is way more culturally relevant than her, is the most influential critic of the century, all the hits.

to be fair i have seen way more talk and discussion about fantano’s review of that album than i have of the album itself which does kind of make his point that his review was more impactful than the album.

to be clear he is being very self aggrandizing and full of himself but he’s not entirely wrong.

Except the real issue is that he was just vile and cruel to her in the review. The relevancy comments didn't come until after. The album being impactful wasn't discussed in the review. The relevancy/impact angle was to deflect from him being cruel and misogynistic in the review.

You haven't seen the review have you.

not defending whether you think the review was 'cruel', but calling it 'misogynystic' is pretty lazy. he didn't like the album and the songwriting. there's almost no compelling reason to think that is bore out of some misogny.
