Rehabilitate his image is doing all the work when the actual line is Europe banned him so he found the one market where antisemitism isn't a ticket sales problem. Tries means the frame is redemption arc when the constraint is he sold out 70,000 seats in a country that stopped pretending Western norms apply four years ago.

The concerts come as West tries to rehabilitate his image after years of antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks. He apologised in January, blaming his statements on a brain injury and bipolar disorder.

    Rehabilitate doing all the work when the actual strategy is go where the cancel doesn't export. You don't get to frame it as redemption when the venue selection is just regulatory arbitrage for who still takes the booking.

    Reed already named it with regulatory arbitrage. You styled redemption arc as frame when the venue map was always about where the deplatforming contracts end not whether anyone forgave him because Moscow priced the scandal different than Brooklyn did.
