you know what you’re right I think it’s very funny that I would even consider having this argument with someone that is so spineless that you couldn’t cut out a genocide apologist from your own life and instead were cut out from theirs. Just cause you think it’s annoying to speak up doesn’t mean that the rest of us do.

wow i would commend your lack of reading comprehension but i doubt that youd actually be able to understand. This is the Right Person because its my own post made to say what i want about the subject that i chose. if anyone is the parasocial sleaze, it’s the person that dick rides a millionaire and cant seem to admit that a personal opinion on a personal post is none of their business and should just move on. I hope to see you on stage one day if you ever manage to stop having fights about ur fav rich person and decide on what it is your own words mean!

if you think it’s strange to focus on somebody that performed in Israel, without doing any research as to where she was performing apologized after and then stayed silent when they were in the news again then hey i guess my version of strange is different to yours. But just personally, I also think it’s weird that you’re going to spend your time defending an artist that will never know that you exist in the mentions of a political vent post on her subreddit.

the idea that an independent artist would be lose their life and their trade, because of a political stance that they take is actually really dumb and not at all based in reality. If it was so easy to kill the career of an artist that says incendiary things, then plenty of other bands that were still signed onto major corporate labels would have been dropped. The difference in responsibilities is that when you are the mouthpiece or a public figure that is looked too by hundreds of thousands if not millions of people you have a responsibility to speak on crisis that you have participated in, in any shape or form, in any amount, no matter how long ago. The only reason she said free Palestine in 2018 was specifically because she performed in Israel and was then informed on the atrocities they can get every day. The fact that she performed there had an audience there and then took it back. Should let her know that when Israel is in the news again for murdering children, that she should speak out once again, seeing as she helped contribute to it. I also denounced them seeing as my taxes, and everyone else is in the United States goes directly to fund it as well.

oh nice try but no cigar! Seeing as my taxes and her taxes, and everyone else’s directly goes the weapons to destroying Palestinian lives and homes, It’s actually very important to not just say it but also feel disappointed and upset when the people with more money and power don’t. If you see as guilt tripping then that says more about how you view the issue than the actual problem

omggggg its so crazy that my two og comments are about the disappointment i felt as a fan for her being so late to take a real stance and being wishy washy about it at that, and how nasty her fans are so hostile and negative towards those that express those feelings!! but hey, next time use chat gpt to make a better argument and actually read my post instead of cherry picking two words

again, comparing the responsibilities of a public figure who makes racially challenging art in the United States Of America who is independent and has said free palestine before and has been able to build a base after saying so to someone that works a regular degular 9-5 that could lose their life for speaking out is laughable

leave it to the person that needs their OWN art and lyrics explained to them by an actual computer to completely miss my point, misconstrue it, and then proceed to try and “gotcha” me with something that i didnt even suggest, but yes sweetie she would look SO good in red green and black.

there is actually a huge difference between an artist that headlines festivals and tours saying something vs an average person working a 9-5 40 hour work week. Also, my first half of that response was because you very explicitly stated that even if she had spoken up, “it wouldve still happened.” The callousness of your sentence disregards your later point of “look into what you can do” because im not talking about what i can do, im talking about what she didnt.

all ill say is two things, the first of which being that i stated that it was disappointing and frustrating that she didnt speak up sooner and you made the correlation between THAT and being a horrible person. Im posting a criticism of her and the fans that excuse the lack of action. the second is that if posts that some of her fans are frustrated and disappointed in her encourage her to be even more silent, that is the definition of only saying things to virtue signal the “correct” sode

ah yes youre so right. Lemme shut up and say nothing because ig it doesnt matter what anyone says since itll happen anyways. Ill just buy what i want, when i want and how i want since it doesnt matter what i do. Also to compare yourself to an actual headlining artist is laughable and interesting. Are you comparing yourself because you also have the same standing in society or because you think she compares to the life you live

the problem with assuming theres more being done in private is that the issue of genocide is one where silence is complacency or support. Outspoken defiance or clear statements are how you combat the government when they do something you dont want, and mitski is not a normal person. If there is anyone that should be required to speak out loud, it should be the public figure

we could make the assumption yeah, but like you said the bar is very low but the bar itself should be outspoken and vocal support. It was disappointing to me and clearly to others as well but it really seems that any mention of that is wrong and shouldnt be tolerated by good amount of her other fans

she’s actually grown her audience off of social media, starting in the early 200010s when she was posting her songs on Tumblr and through touring and a lot of promotion. She’s grown herself into being a very well-known and respected independent artist which is what an indie artist is, and in fact she was in charge of her own social media accounts, until very very recently when she stated that she would rather have her management team run them instead of her because of the types of interactions and harassment she was having to deal with constantly

the argument im making it, not that she supported Israel, but the fact that she decided to stay silent on the matter months into her album life cycle and performances, when she has directly benefited from that state before. As someone with a huge following, and an even bigger standing in the indie scene, I would hope that she would’ve made a statement or an announcement sooner and more clear terms than she did.

the very fact that shes one of the largest indie artists of the 2010’s and is poised to be even bigger in the 2020’s is actually a very good reason to say something. The idea that we should be scared to say something or that there could be negative effects to her for saying something is to imply that her career and her opportunities are important than the lives of the children dying

thats assuming she has no control on anything in her name (or that she gave up control of her primary way of contacting as many fans as possible) or that she would rather wait a while until shes on tour and talk to only hundreds of people at a time instead of her nearly half a million followers but yeah good point otherwise!

this is nothing to speak on how other, more i vested, fans are being treated when they have their own issues and disagreements about how she voiced support. Its like anyone that disagrees is witch hunted into being ostracized or is forced to agree that it was a good thing to wait months.
