    There are so many ppl in power supporting Israel in tangible, helping kill babies sort of ways, that Ed Sheeran getting the stick is kind of stupid. People just punch whoever is closest cuz they can’t do shit about any of the real problem ppl

      Yeah but those other people are boring.

      I’m only half joking. For many people their exposure to things is through pop culture. I bet for a lot of people in the audience and for the fans, this episode has made them look into what is happening more closely. It’s a very big deal.

        It’s so strange to me when Ed and others like him do this. He literally would face no real consequence for just being a decent human being. Absolute worst case, he has to play smaller venues from now on. So what, he might miss out on some cash because of that, would he ever even notice? No he wouldn’t, so why act this way?
