minus-squaregladflag@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 month agoI did. The point I was making is that he got dropped because of political Gaza but not the holocaust. Both of these are confronting and might upset people who just want to listen to some music.
minus-squareJimSamtanko@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down9·edit-21 month agoIf he spoke out against Gaza and in support of Israel, would you still be against his cancellation? Because if you can’t honestly say that you are against this regardless of his stance- than you’re not here to debate the point- You’re just here to toss in your support for a cause. My entire point is about the concept of what is and isn’t not acceptable for hired entertainment to include in their performance.
