Can we also talk about how his #1 song is promoting heterosexuality? More than 80 % of children who heard Shape of You in the 2010s now identify as heterosexual, and it continues to air on the radio and show up on streaming services without as much as a content warning. What the fuck?
Name checks out
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.
Seems like he was saving up for relocating to the US.
He was just trying to blend in with his pals in the local oligarchy.
And after all this then we don't want him back, either.
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”.
If only shit like this came back to hurt zuck, musk, or trump. Then you realize tons of it does, but it somehow goes unoticed with them for some reason.
Oh they notice. It infuriates them that they can't mind control everyone into loving them like they have with the MAGA movement.
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.”
I agree, but I wonder how many kids blindsided their parents by asking what a genocide was after this? 😆
I hope they had a good answer
that's how you know she actually cares about children and not money
Thank you for the context. As sick as I am of watching her videos she really is based.
Who is forcing you to watch Ms. Rachel videos? Blink twice if you need to be rescued! /s
My kid
lucky you.
i was treated to the purple dinosaur from hell by mine.
Y'all need Bluey
She rocks out loud!
Unlike Ed.
I keep hearing about a Ms. Rachel but I have no idea who that is.
edit: Thanks for the info everyone! :3
I only heard of because of this gif
they must have known they were making a reaction gif when making that
I never thought of it like that, but after watching it loop a handful of times, it's hard to deny the possibility
Typically prior to her activism, only parents of toddlers know her (like me lol). She's one of the few well educated toddler influencers on YouTube, too, with a master's degree.
How often do you find yourself randomly singing Hop Little Bunnies?
She runs an educational children’s program
Our parents had sesame Street.
We had tellytubbies
Our kids have ms rachel.
If you think about it, this isnt all that dissimilar to getting slagged off by elmo
my dude you skipped the Letter People. fight me
I think that would require Ed to have some self-respect in the first place.
I can hear this title.
Is it a Ms.Rachel thing?
(I have no kids and haven't been around anyone who does long enough to know)
Yes it is lol
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.
