My only point from the start was that the level of personal hate with DM harassment, slur-filled posts and celebrating cancelling an artist has gone OTT and crossed from accountability into bullying. 

Dude just performed a sold out stadium show days after this PR storm kicked off. 

Explain to me how he's cancelled? 
The dude is a rich white millionaire who's taken no actual financial hit and is being protected by his manager who in the epstein files, and his friend the rich white billionaire who's also in the epstein files.

A literal genocide has been basically livestreamed for years now. Plastered on every news outlet and social media site. Any nuance in the situation is long gone and any ignorance that prevents a grown a** adult from feeling educated enough to denounce it in plain language without qualifiers is willful at this point.

*Anyone* willing to suppress sentiment against the atrocity deserves to be treated like gum on the bottom of our shoe by every person with a soul. 

"Cancel culture" is nowhere to be found in this situation.

It’s essentially about being okay with yourself, not about loving each other :deadbanana:

diva, yes it is but even so, that song cemented a huge community

ed sheeran in his whole career has never had a reputation of having a strong, community based fanbase which is what that user meant

they didn't meant songs with lyrics literally about unity

mother, what must i do?

No one is being too hard on Ed Sheeran. The dude is more spineless than a snake. Not only did he throw Macklemore under the bus as he capitulated to sleazionaire Robert Kraft as he "both sides"-ed a genocide, he is trying to paint himself the victim. The dude told his audience he removed his B-stage because he was afraid of what might happen if he stood in the middle of it. He's a freaking coward. 

Sheeran is not a victim. He's a famous multimillionaire who could've used his power to stand up for Macklemore and Palestine and call Kraft's bluff. Instead, he folded quicker than my laundry.

In what way? 

He bent knee to what he knew was censorship of an artist he claimed to be a friend. He has now provided three statements, all of which fail to actually address the core of the issue. He has both-sides an ongoing atrocity that has a very clear aggressor and victim. He has reiterated that he is an apolitical artist (no such thing, by the way), despite sharing multiple political opinions both in his music and in public statements in the past. 

If anything, the response he's gotten has been more muted than it deserves. He has knowingly and willingly aided a multi-billionaire in censoring an individual's point of view because he disagreed with that point of view. That is a clear violation of Macklemore's right to free speech and Ed allowed it to happen. 

I don't actually disagree with any of what you say here, apart from thinking the response has been in any way muted. 

I think he's handled this completely the wrong way. He's lucky he's in the very privileged position of never having to work again.

And since when is any of Ed Sheeran's music 'unifying'? I don't feel connected to my fellow man listening to Shape Of You?

It unites people who like mediocrity  :vegas:
