>The Vampire Weekend frontman tells us how communists and fashion bloggers inspired his new cartoon Neo Yokio
>There’s a lot about communism and capitalism in the show, which I feel like people are talking about that more than ever right now.
>Ezra Koenig: Right, that’s another thing! One of my truly favourite things in the show is the Soviet race car driver. It really was quite a weird story. Three or four summers ago, I was in Monaco and they were setting up for the Grand Prix. Monaco basically is an anime location – it’s such a surreal place, the geography and the architecture is so strange, like (Hiyao) Miyazaki created it from a bunch of Mediterranean replicas. So we were in Monaco and I was having a coffee in the morning, and ‘God Save the Queen’ was just blasting off the speakers. This was in the morning, and I guess they were testing the different national anthems. Monaco is like a giant crypt, so there were all of these weird echoes created by these tall buildings that open to the mountain. I was looking out of the window and just hearing ‘God Save the Queen’, echoing through this Mediterranean anime location, and I just had this weird thought: ‘What if this Soviet race car driver won this lap and the Soviet national anthem was playing?’ Also, I love Formula One outfits because they’re so crazy. The entire idea was that everybody else is covered in logos and the Soviet race car driver just comes out, and the car and the outfit is all red with a hammer and sickle. I thought, ‘We’ve gotta put that in the show somehow.’ And we worked really hard to try and incorporate that.
>I remembered Kim Kardashian wearing this like long red communist thing and I was like, ‘I don’t even know what’s happening or if we’re right on the money, but I guess I’m glad that’s in there.’ You know, communism never goes out of fashion. As long as there’s capitalism, there’ll be communism.
he's the frontman of a fairly successful band, it's not really surprising

if the gender binary isn't real, how can one be a misogynist given that 'women' don't technically exist.
Blake Anderson

It's a Netflix original. It would be more unbelievable if it were actually watchable and entertaining.

"Women" do exist on a side of the spectrun, the extreme side, but generally any distaste for the femme side of the gender binary spectrum is considered misogynistic t. took a gender studies class

Seriously stop making threads about this. Even negative attention will help the kikes that made it. We all realize that it's a steaming pile of shit, just purge it from your memories and direct your attention towards more important stuff.
