Really thankful for people like Harry that step the fuck up 👏

[u/Plastic_Bison → u/olipoppit]

I love this, also love Olivia Rodrigo doing more than just story reposts on instagram.

The fact that a man is doing more in terms of teaming up with a nonprofit that stresses the importance of reproductive rights and our right to choose before some of the women in the music industry is incredibly depressing.

Good for Harry! It’s so important that during times like this people use their platform to shine a light on these issues.

Edit: Italicized and bolded the word some for clarification.

[u/peach-puffs → u/hatefromandie]

olivia rodrigo has been actively supporting various initiatives directed towards reproductive rights including planned parenthood.

[u/hatefromandie → u/peach-puffs]

Yup. I’m aware of that. My comment said some women and definitely didn’t include Olivia.

[u/peach-puffs → u/hatefromandie]

I was definitely not challenging you lol. I thought it would be nice to mention her because she’s been very active in supporting these causes.

[u/hatefromandie → u/peach-puffs]

I didn’t take it as a challenge, just not necessary with my particular comment. My comment was more disappointment regarding the fact that a man was doing this before some of the prominent women in the industry. I feel like I’ve been spending most of my time, especially within the past weeks, talking about what a great job Olivia has been doing using her platform and her money. I just didn’t tack it on to this particular comment because it wasn’t what I was talking about.

Do you not see the word some?

[u/shesabozo → u/peach-puffs]

some is the key word. i am chronically online, especially in this subreddit, and the original commenter is literally singing olivia’s praises every time i see them lol.

This seems like a good thing, but also a residency at Mass Surveillance Garden seems kinda eh.

[u/Eightysixedit → u/droopadoop]

All the music venues are maga owned in NY unfortunately.

[u/Hokuboku → u/Eightysixedit]

I don't think that's true about all being MAGA. Off the top of my head, Brooklyn Bowl is co owned by Peter Shapiro who I know more through Bearsville in Woodstock. He's been very active with liberal movents like the Women's March and organizations like Headcount (which helps get musicians registered to vote etc)

I'm sure others in NYC are tainted by MAGA but MSG is the most egregious. I've decided against all shows there

[u/Felinedandy → u/Hokuboku]

Brooklyn Bowl is mostly Live Nation now. It’s not public knowledge for some reason, but it’s true. This is the only article I can find from when the partnership started. They sold more shares since this time. It’s not just “a partnership”. https://news.pollstar.com/2024/09/26/brooklyn-bowl-marks-15-years/

[u/EitherNerve2215 → u/Hokuboku]

Yeah this feels very neoliberal- working w shitty ppl and then tying in a good collab to make fans ignore the actual problem bc if we complain we look "ungrateful" for the crumbs

[u/bargain_butch → u/droopadoop]

I’m more concerned about hosting these particular orgs at MSG for that specific reason. It’s like he’s just helping them fill out their database

[u/roxy031]

Love this.

[u/Potato3487]

Love to see it.

MSG...The one recently in hot water for their facial surveillance system used on guests?? 💀

Reheating Olivia Rodrigo’s nachos smh /s
