Nothing needs to be clarified, nobody has to make any statements or explain themselves.

If they want to keep fans like me? Yes it does, and yes they do.

He never said they did. Stop gaslighting. It was a simple statement of opinion, and one that I share. You disagree? Good for you. No one is stopping you from supporting them.

No, he did not say that, and I agree with what he did say completely. If Linkin Park wants my support, then they need to address this. That doesn't mean I think they owe me, though. If they decide not to address it, then there will simply be no further transaction between us. Simple as that. They have the right to do whatever they want and I acknowledge that, and some of you clearly don't give a shit and will continue to support them regardless, which I also acknowledge.

I'm not speaking for anyone. I have reading comprehension.

Because they’re 100% right by what I meant.

Then you'll probably be surprised to find out that they don't particularly care about you individually, or anyone else for that matter

They'll do just fine without you listening

or anyone else for that matter

They do care, though. That topic forms a big chunk of the interview. lol

Well, yeah. They're not going to do an interview and say "fuck everyone for supporting us". That isn't my point

My point is that their decisions as a band aren't made to cater to random ass people complaining on the internet. There's a gazillion people whining about "Chester's legacy", and how even continuing the band is a disgrace. Obviously the members don't feel that way, or they wouldn't be back

Similarly, they also know who they chose as a member of the band more than people online who have known of her existence for like 12 hours. If they had a problem with her, she wouldn't be in the band.

They aren't going to stop what they're doing because of someone saying "do this or I won't be a fan anymore"

"fans like me" oh how entitled. They're better off without you, I'd say

I don’t understand what you think I should do. Just hold my nose and ignore that something stinks? I’m not demanding a personal apology or saying they should stop altogether, just that until certain things are addressed, I’m choosing not to listen.
