No, cucking for optics would be virtue signaling against Kanye for being a meanie antisemite. Or another example is Trump shilling the rna jabs or letting some old lady drug dealer out of jail for woke points. Shutting your autistic mouth for five minutes when it would benefit you isn't cucking for optics. Think about it, anyone who will listen to the GDL already knows Kanye is right about this. Just putting the sign up without taking credit for it would be more effective than creating an association that doesn't need to exist, that the media will use to paint him as aligned with nazis to his normie fans, who are the real relevant audience here.
