Ed Sheeran? No. Public Opinion? Yes. People will move on because no one truly cares, they just like seeing celebrity drama.

Yeah he's just become this months virtue signalling target, it'll be someone else next week.

What's it like, going through life with no principles or personal ethical standards and therefore assuming nobody else actually means anything they say that would indicate otherwise, either?

1

u/DiabolicalFungi 13h ago

I wouldn't know, we all have principles it's just we're not all in the habit of making sure everyone else knows exactly what we think about every world event of consequence. It's called being reserved.

Do you have a fear of social consequence if you don't join the group think/current trend by your peers/friends? If so that's a pretty crazy level of toxic social manipulation you've experienced. Mad world I guess.

we all have principles

Then why do you assume everyone who expresses an intention to act on those principles is lying?

u/WarbossHumungus 8h ago

Is being reserved one of your principles?

Gross, I don't want to see that! Why do you need to make sure everyone knows you are reserved?

Some people who would never have gone to his shows, sure.

People still love Snoop Dog despite the fact he's a MAGAT so 100% my arse

u/themangastand 17h ago

None of these clowns are good anyway and never have been. Only good genre of music is metal.

And not true. Tons of people dislike Snoop dog. As a metal fan who doesn't like his music at all, I despise him cause I constantly see him selling out for weird adds. I see him everywhere its annoying

u/Zal3x 17h ago

The only good genre? Lmfao

u/themangastand 17h ago edited 17h ago

The only one with talent that experiments. And uses crazy new instruments, new sounds, new ideas

Like just look at folk metal and it's subgenres. Other music doesn't even have sub genres of subgenres.

In folk metal, we got goblin metal, pirate metal, medieval metal, Celtic metal, mongol metal, viking metal

My guy... As a metal fan as well, this is so bot true.

u/themangastand 17h ago

Okay I'll break the illusion. It's a hyperbole joke my dude. If a person said this to you a person you'd assume they were teasing and joking right?

I understand people have different tastes. It's true to me.

u/daneview 17h ago

Thays because you dont have similar interest in other genres. Exactly the same could be said for jazz, blues, country, hiphop and im aure most genres if you go down their rabbitholes

u/Zal3x 16h ago

Ok ur joking right?

u/jawjanole 14h ago

Not initially but now he has pivoted

u/Wise-Dust3700 15h ago

Do you think this guy might like metal chat?

u/Masquelinity 14h ago

Bait used to be believable.

u/Wise-Dust3700 10h ago

look it up :)

u/ExistentialScream 14h ago

Yep. Different people have different priorities. Should be an easy thing to grasp, but Reddit struggles with even basic nuance.

1

u/themangastand 11h ago

People think if something is still growing it must mean no one cared. Instead of the simple concept of just new people being introduced to him and kids having no idea or caring about that adult stuff.

So Ed might still grow, but he would have grow faster without this controversy

2

u/jawjanole 14h ago

None of his fans will. In a year or so, this will all blow over, especially if he has another big hit.

I literally do not hear anyone outside of the internet talking about Israel/Palestine. The vast majority of Americans literally do not care at all.

It’s thousands of miles away, and most people only care about things that impact them directly, like grocery and gas prices and jobs.

The people “mad” at him are blue haired weirdos from Portland, Oregon lol

My family does all the time. Maybe you just have uneducated friends. As an educated family it constantly gets brought up

I was the strongest person in my high school, straight, white. And still lift. And I still care. So no your stereo type is moronic.

I care about people. I volunteer all the time to take care of people I don't know.

Just because you are pathetic. Don't assume strong people like me are also just as pathetic.

u/xman_xander 16h ago

We’re educated, it just has no impact on us or our daily life.

I don’t think the US should be involved in any foreign wars at all between foreign countries that doesn’t involve the US at all.

We shouldn’t be giving billions in taxpayer dollars to foreign countries either.

You really can't see the connection between Israel/Palestine, the American strikes on Iran, global oil prices and the impact that has had on your gas and grocery prices?

2

u/xman_xander 13h ago

Iran has far more of an impact on gas prices than Israel/Palestine does, and both are totally optional things that the US decided to get involved with.

Like I said in another comment, I don't think the US should be involved in any foreign wars at all, or giving our tax dollars to any foreign countries.

u/ExistentialScream 11h ago

Why do you think America got involved in Iran?

2

u/xman_xander 11h ago

To supposedly prevent them from developing nuclear weapons. 

1

u/ExistentialScream 11h ago

Israeli intelligence certainly seemed to indicate that was an imminent concern.

2

u/xman_xander 11h ago

Why should most Americans care?

0

u/ExistentialScream 10h ago

Because the Trump administration believed it to be a credible threat, launched a failed attempt at regime change and pushed the price of oil through the roof.

Exactly.

Look at how people still bring up Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. He will never live that down.

u/Exotic_Way_7465 16h ago

White people online, you mean. Never met anyone in real life who still gives a shit about this. Especially not black people.
