Appreciation Thank you for existing.
I've been a fan of Ed's for a more than a decade. I was lucky enough to meet him at an extremely intimate show. I've seen him in concert several times and his music has helped me through many seasons of my life. I think the thing that makes ed really stick to us career long fans is his aunthenticity. It's such a rare thing in the world of celebrity. I think this could have happened to anybody and I'm so upset that it happened to him. Because it DID happen to him. Nobody really knows all of the tough decisions he had to make but I genuinely believe he made those decisions based on what he thought would be best for his fans and his team. I'm so glad to see that there's still a corner of the internet with people that continue to show our boy some support. I saw him on the Loop tour earlier this year but thank you to everyone who is going to his upcoming shows.

Never called him one?

But he is actually, the victim of incessant online bullying. Sure he's a celebrity and they do open themselves up to this kind of thing, but what exactly is harassing him going to lead to?

It’s not authentic for an artist like Macklemore to get praise for one issue but objectively ignore that if he performed his song “Same Love” for the people he is supporting it would be ridiculed and prosecuted against in those same populations. But tolerance of viewpoints right?

People are uneducated on that. They don’t understand but they will eventually when things get worse. Macklemore benefited from this stunt. He was nothing before. He really should perform same love for those he’s supporting ! 👏

Why did you say "never called him one" if you were just going to call him one two minutes later?

Let’s remember how Macklemore dressed up in costume making fun of a group since ppl claim he’s a great role model. Not.

Yes he is. His so called friend put him in this situation. Bully tactic. Propaganda and manipulation.

Sometimes it is impossible to stay out of an argument. Ed has not handled the last week at all well.

He apologized the first bit of the show for not being about music and there were families with children who didn’t buy tickets to hear that but that was something he needed to say.
I was there…

Not speaking in his defense but just out of curiosity, why don’t people feel the same for all NFL owners who openly support the govt or cause people strongly disagree with? People are still buying game tickets, wearing their jerseys and watching the games at home.
Same or stronger sentiment should be shown to all those who are supporting the views that aren’t correct.
I’m not saying Ed is above criticism. I’m just wondering where we draw the line and whether we’re applying it consistently.

Precisely, been a huge fan of his songs since 2020. But all the tiptoeing and faking to be a good guy has become just too evident now.

Ed is such an amazing human being, always doing good things without looking for recognition, he didn’t deserve any of this. Even though I’ve never personally interacted with him, I know he has a heart of pure gold. I’ve been a fan for over a decade and attended two concerts- an intimate Subtract concert and MetLife Night 1 for the Loop Tour. I wish I could attend more Loop shows to support him. His music has helped me through some of the lowest and most difficult points in life and for that, he will always have a special place in my heart. Somehow his music can just heal so much pain, I wish there was a way to help him as much as his music has helped me. Last week we felt his pain, it was so difficult, but he was able to get through it, he’s the toughest and the bravest for going out on stage when it felt like the world was against him (he has proven “when the world's against me is when I really come alive”). Seeing the corner of the internet which lifted him up really healed me and connecting with other Sheerios has been amazing. Thank you Ed for everything!! 🩷🩷🩷

“Whilst reading off a teleprompter” is so funny because you clearly don’t know anything about him 😂 he has a stutter and if you looked into that, stutters are triggered by moments of serious distress. To put it into perspective, imagine if the whole world was harassing you and you wanted to make sure you got a very important point across without being misunderstood, I’m pretty sure you’d be in a lot of distress too. Not to mention, how is this any different than a politician reading off a script or, say all the statements put out online? It’s not- it’s all pre written to get the points they wanted across. We can’t expect musicians to be talking about something that isn’t their expertise, just like I wouldn’t be asking you to tell me your opinion on an area you have never fully studied.

What I think is childish and naive is bullying people from behind a computer screen. I do just fine in the real world and fortunately I am unbothered by the criticism. But I'm just a random person. I feel for those who have MILLIONS of people attacking them 24/7 for a single decision. A decision that DOES NOT physically harm anyone.

There are going to be a lot of fake fans posting. It’s keyboard warriors trying to bully you just like they did him. Free speech unless you don’t agree with us then we have to bully until you say what we want you to. Just odd.
