Could be (though brigade is a loaded preddit term) but I also think whenever stuff like this happens, the "anti-hate speech" internet activists - the kind of people ADL/stop_antisemitism pay - amplify those messages on sites they consider "hate sites", so they can get reactions and build consensus for them to quote and amplify those responses, keeping the supply of "hate speech" up and keeping them in business. Literally nothing here makes Kanye look like the bad guy, but they're too stupid to realize that.
