The entire thing comes at a rather unfortunate time. He was trying to save up for a second private jet, and this is exactly why he always said it’s better to leave politics out of it.

That said, it’s shocking that a bland artist making unmemorable over produced garbage has no moral spine either.

I really wish they would stop calling him an artist. He’s a businessman, like the Zuck, like Musk and like Trump. And this is how a businessman reacts when something is bad for business.

    This whole thing is even more ridiculous. This backlash isn’t happening because he was silent on the genocide, he’s been silent on it for years. It’s happening because he as the headliner allowed his tour mates to be excluded due to their speech. At no point did he need to denounce the genocide, he just had to speak up internally and say “well that’s Macklemore's opinion on it and I’m not going to stifle a fellow artist's speech like that”.

    Not only did she call him out for being spineless, she also threw a solid "you're racist" in there.

    “Treating some children’s lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral.”

    Thank you for the context. As sick as I am of watching her videos she really is based.

    I think that would require Ed to have some self-respect in the first place.

    I'm sure he's crying into his millions of dollars while being consoled by his highschool sweetheart wife that a youtuber said mean things about him.

    I don't think you understand how narcissists function.

    There's certainly a chance he's a narcissist - I don't know him personally. But this whole situation doesn't inherently mean he's one. He's just an absolute sell-out coward bitch that decided it was more important to not "rock the boat" than to use his platform to back up his friend and more importantly denounce genocide.

    It's been genuinely heartwarming to see so many calling him out for doing this horrible thing.
