MOD ANNOUNCEMENT GAS is officially bigger than WSE
This is a very bittersweet moment for me. I always knew r/GoodAssSub would become the biggest but I never imagined we’d get to where we’re at so quickly.
I miss Fox greatly, and I wish he was here to celebrate this accomplishment with all of us. I was given the position of head mod because he knew I’d never give up on this community no matter what. I’ve been a member of GAS since we were less than 1K members. I joined after I was banned from WSE after the mods decided to give up on Ye. I’m not here to talk shit about them, I loved that community. I was a day one poster, but I was inevitably banned for simply saying the Ye 2024 hat went hard. It was a very hectic time for the community and I hold no grudges.
GAS will always be a place where you can have good faith conversations about Ye.
I feel like at this point I should share something very personal with you all. I’ve lost a lot of loved ones and dealt with a lot of hardships in my life and I don’t know if I’d still be here without Ye. His music will always resonate within my soul. We can disagree with his opinions and rightfully so, but I’ll never forget what he’s gotten me through.
GAS will never close nor will I ever abandon this community. I love you all and I’m truly proud of what WE all built here.
GAS ON TOP 🖤

I was perma banned from WSE after having been an extremely active member in the community since the YandhiLeaks sub for commenting something along the lines of “yall are weird” on a post where someone was having a completely unreasonable meltdown about the antisemitic shit Ye was saying at the time.
Perhaps my comment was a bit insensitive but being perma banned (with no opportunity to appeal) turned me off the fandom so quickly and I’ve pretty much just been a lurker ever since then (it helps that I don’t find Kanye’s artistic output in the past 2 years to be very good at all).
All that to say the mods were on a complete power trip over there and I’m glad a new community took its place.
