I don’t think it’s about popularity of opinions. Popularity of opinions vary with context, Sheeran would have received an ovation if he did that shit in Israel, but that’s not it. I’m tired of the mob mentality too. Nevertheless, the issue is moral, and in this case, ethical. Even ethics change with context, but on things like genocide, it is pretty much universal. It’s not even about his opinions about Gaza, it’s about him revealing this network of people and entities that simply do not think a genocide is happening, because they don’t think Israel is killing actual people, actual children.

Whatever happens with Sheeran, as long as it’s legal, I don’t care. I don’t want him killed, but rescinding contracts is legal. Also, I didn’t care about him before, now I think he is a coward.
