Don't forget that Robert Kraft, the dude who made him do all of this, is behind it all.

He asked Epstein how to handle his sex charges, and then used Epstein's recommended lawyer. Source
3 other NFL stadium owners colluded with him to ban Sheeran if he didn't fire Macklemore. Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie backed Kraft’s stance. Source

This is not a pass for Sheeran, but a clarification to who are the true bad guys.

Kraft is one of the big bads, but so is Sheeran. Sheeran has hundreds of millions of dollars. He's in a financial position such that it isn't truly possible to buy him off.

If he's doing the bidding of an evil man, it's because he supports that evil.

Dont forget Sheeran performed at his wedding 4 years ago, so they do have previous ties

So Ed is a child molester by association. Got it

Kraft has always been a monster, it's expected of him. People hold musicians to higher standards I guess.

There is not a damn thing complex about murdering children. Maybe Sheeran should take a bit of that $400 million and pay a real human to read and filter his bullshit before embarrassing himself.

On the one hand, the most pressing civil rights issue of our time.

On the other, a rich guy paid me a lot of money to STFU about it.

There's just too much to think about.

So very complicated

Zensate@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 23h (1 reply)

Ah yes, the moral dilemma of "Should we murder children".

A famous problem among the philosophers of the ages

I mean, he wants all the money from pro-genocide people, but he ALSO wants all the money from anti child murder people; you see the dilemma he's in.

In the interests of balance, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that his music fucking sucks too.

Souvenir@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 19h

I think that's unfair. I don't think it's interesting enough to suck. It's background music. At least, I think it is, I'm having trouble remembering any of it.

It's complicated, but it's not so complicated that we can't figure out if genocide is ok or not.
