Gonna say a pretty popular opinion on here and get down voted to hell, but I don't care about fake interest points.
While I do agree with the general sentiment on here, I get incredibly tired of this mob mentality. It's like if you have any minority opinion you're treated like some evil piece of shit.
Yeah, I don't agree with Ed Sheeran, but Jesus Christ he doesn't need to be black listed into oblivion because of one unpopular opinion. Does anyone even know WHY he has that opinion? I doubt there's a single person on here who doesn't have some unpopular opinion about something, and if you don't, you are full of shit and just parroting the most popular opinions around you so you fit in.
Well maybe he can let trump use his music instead of the village people. Seeing those two like killing children who have nothing to do with geo politics
Meanwhile, the one who actually got blacklisted was Macklemore, while Ed Sheeran has a whole tour ahead of him.
If people don't want to go to his tours because of his shitty behavior, tough shit.
I dare you to come up with a version of this where someone got canceled for "any minority opinion."
Supporting a genocidal regime isn't just "any" opinion, it's a pretty fuckin' big one.
...has Sheeran been blacklisted? It sure sounds like everyone with actual power is fully supportive of him.
I don't think it's about popularity of opinions. Popularity of opinions vary with context, Sheeran would have received an ovation if he did that shit in Israel, but that's not it. I'm tired of the mob mentality too. Nevertheless, the issue is moral, and in this case, ethical. Even ethics change with context, but on things like genocide, it is pretty much universal. It's not even about his opinions about Gaza, it's about him revealing this network of people and entities that simply do not think a genocide is happening, because they don't think Israel is killing actual people, actual children.
Whatever happens with Sheeran, as long as it's legal, I don't care. I don't want him killed, but rescinding contracts is legal. Also, I didn't care about him before, now I think he is a coward.
I couldn't agree with you more. I posted a similar comment on the music post about this and boy oh boy, it was an avalanche of downvotes and I was supporting genocide.
To me the whole thing is blown way out of proportion and that was my point. Nothing to do with the issue itself, just to the strong overreaction, fed now by the media and bots.
Can I please say, why are we, the proletariat, even giving this controversy attention?
We all watched how the Epstein files were released and not a single person is facing actual punishment from it.
Macklemore is an opening act and is not why people were buying tickets for this tour. (Was he relevant? Did people really pay for this tour because of him? Now he's got attention from Palestine sympathizers who might give him actual attention his next album).
America is by and large apathetic to Gaza or doesn't even know the conflict exists. Half of us don't know what exists outside of our own communities.
Macklemore gets a pat on the back for saying "what's right.", Sheeran gets a boost in ticket sales because now his tour over multiple stadiums, is plastered on the front page of every news aggregator. Live Nation makes bank off of everyone involved here.
And Robert Kraft is probably cackling to the bank about how we are all eating out of the palm of his boss's hands.
With no one going after him, only Sheeran, the elite win again.
For all I know, Macklemore and Sheeran were both powerless to their actual opinions on any of this.
