Yeah lots of “non issue nobody cares IRL” everywhere on Reddit meanwhile Ed and Kraft sending out PR statements trying to pretend they care about Palestine
And he is still going to sell out his stadium. Both with Ed and the Patriots. Nobody is going to boycott this. Most people don't care. Reddit cares but reddit is an echo chamber and doesn't tend to reflect the opinions of actual society. If what the majority of reddit reflected actual society then Trump wouldn't have been elected twice now.
Reddit is a bubble, and people won't care about this in a month from now. Theyre both going to make their millions and people will go back to not caring about Macklemore
Bro you out here scabbing for free to cape for the wealthy is genuinely embarrassing
I hope you’re a bot or a shill because if you’re doing this for love of the game pro bono you have a species of misery too diseased for me to appreciate
My favorite canned response was that poor little Ed couldn’t do anything and just think of the opening acts and crew (as if he couldn’t pay their salaries without a dent in his fortune if worst came to worst).
Or told them that they have to be the ones to kick out Macklemore or he walks too. Have the stadiums own canceling it and refunding the tickets. if it’s that important. Instead he pandered to a billionaire for a week instead of talking to his friends. These lads would have told him to stand by Macklemore. He could have even solely made it about censorship if he wanted to continue to be a mostly spineless coward but eh.
It's just suspicious to me when Redditors are the ones telling me something is a Reddit bubble when all my friends and family irl know about it and talk about it
Reddit weirdly loves acting like this is the only place that cares about anything, and also claims that because its the only place that cares about things, its stupid to care about things.
EDIT: Do you know how many times a day I'm told an issue is "just the reddit echo chamber bubble" when literally everyone I know is talking about said issue? Its insane.
God thank you. I was going crazy in that other thread when everyone was telling me that I'm in a bubble because shit tons of my friends on Instagram are posting about this
It isn't a reddit bubble but it's still a bubble. None of my friends or family give two fucks about this.
Mackelmore made a statement. It had ramifications. Support him or don't support him. It's that easy. Discussions on reddit do literally nothing to hurt/help.
Not everyone disagreeing with you is a bot. I just saw people going "False flag" like a true trumpie because a Kirk statue got vandalized. Like everybody needs to grow the fuck up
You don't have a personal motive for downplaying the extent of this controversy? Dude even my fucking mom knew about this lol she says Pink sucks and no I did not tell her
What fucking personal motive could I have? I'm neither Ed Sheeran nor Israeli nor Palestinian.
You sound like you have similar views to your mother, almost like you'd be recommended the same political shit. Everything is a bubble. It isn't some insult that you apparently think it is?
Gaming bubble, fanfic bubbles, political bubbles. I hope to God you're under 25 cause otherwise this level of ignorance is just pathetic
Let's talk about the music of people. The rules say we're not supposed to talk about politics. It just popped up notifying me not to mention anything about any said countries. I'm sure you got the warning too.
It's more than half of the top 20 posts. If this was an email inbox you'd call it spam, and wouldn't ignore it. Any other subreddit like news, politics, movies, games etc, would spin up a megarhread for a topic like this in lieu of users spamming screenshots of every twitter take they see. It's excessive and crowding out other music news/discussion
Just scroll past and ignore it. It's really not that hard. It's the biggest story rn. I had to go through it with Geese last year lol I think you'll be fine
So you pick a completely random comment to shame about talking politics and make sure they "saw the warning" instead of just not engaging? How odd. Congrats, you just made political comment.
Is it really that random? There was like only three comments in the chat at that point. Unless you're living under a rock, every single music post on Reddit about Ed Sheeran and Macklemore is going into politics when talking about the situation. I'm just simply saying can we talk about music and not about politics. I'm sure that what the music channel was meant for. Lol
Again, you're making a political statement so have fun with that. Life is political. everything is political. And in case you missed what bands like Rage Against the Machine are singing about, music is DEEPLY political.
So if it bothers you so much, there's an big X in the top right of your screen.
Bro calm down. Most people go to live shows to get away from political drama. You seem more bothered by my comments. I made one comment. Everything else has been a response to you. Cuz you seem so upset. So if I bother you that much, just don't respond. I think that's simple for you to understand
You're saying he's brave because you side with Israel on this issue, don't beat around the bush lol. The fact of the matter is youth from both the left and right are vehemently anti Israel, it's one of the few bipartisan things the majority of young people I know agree on (I come from a pretty politically diverse state in the US). It is in the band's best interest to not saddle themselves with the baggage of being pro Israel

Wow all the pro Israel bots were telling me in another thread that nobody gives a shit about this controversy
