Kraft said in a statement on Instagram: “I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting.

That's like saying 'all lives matter' in response to the Black Lives Matter movement; it's disrespectful of the point being made.

    It’s like thinking reverse racism is a thing.

    Imagine getting cancelled in 2026 for being a billionaire's bitch.

    I’m starting to get annoyed that Sheeran is getting all the hate, save an equal amount for kraft, people..

    Update- folks, this was a joke. I’m not defending Sheeran here, merely also expressing my distaste for the rest of the players in this horrible situation.

    He deserves it. Check out some of the comments on Macklemore’s YouTube videos. Many of the repeated comments are calling out Sheeran saying “being silent in the face of oppression is choosing the side of the oppressor.” They are right, and a lot of people need to be called out in the same way, and feel the weight of their supposed neutrality. It’s about time some of these “apolitical” arseholes felt some heat.

    Kraft is a pos and doesn't care about us and we can't affect him much.

    People like Sheeran have reach and can actually affect people like Kraft, and Sheeran chose not to do so.

    this is a warning to other people of influence. be like Macklemore, not like Sheeran. use your influence for good, not to ignore evil.

    Others like Kraft will not change if they see consequences. They will double down. Others like ES will see this and recognize they can't sit idle or try to "be neutral" in today's world without consequence, and there is a chance they will change.

    Everything I've ever learned about Ed Sheeran has been against my will.

    "removed from the airways" at one radio station in Ireland

    I feel a tiny sorry for Ed (not that a guy who has an estimated £400 million net worth needs my sympathy), but he's just some poor rich schlub who's been planning to tour around a bit, play some uncontroversial songs, earn another hundred million, mind his own business and then... kapow!... he's front and centre in a fight that's he's clearly ill-equiped to even interact with.

    "Whuh? I just wanted to play some bland music and earn enough money to buy myself a ginger island. What the flip is going on?"

    You say that like artists - especially Irish artists - haven't been front and center on agitating against the Palestinian Genocide for years now.

    He organized tour full of pro-Palestinian activists, ffs. Mackelmore isn't some new figure, either. Jumping on popular leftist initiatives is kinda his brand.

    If Sheeren had formed a band with Greenpeace, would he be blindsided when they started talking about the environment?

    Like, I'm half inclined to give him some credit just for putting this thing together. Better to have it implode on you than to never tour at all.

    Did Ed suicide bomb his career in the name of Palestine? Maybe

    Thank you Palestine and Macklemore for standing up to keep this Zionist scum off the radio 🙏 now only if YouTube and Spotify would grow some balls

    😂 as if

    The absence of Ed Sheeran songs is barely distinguishable from their presence.

    I'm looking forward to removing his cameo from GoT. It won't fix the series but it'll make the last seasons slightly better.

    Nah GoT deserves him. GRRM deserves this after selling out and abandoning the readers who supported his series for years. I don't ever see myself watching the show again. Maybe the first 3 seasons.

    How long until Ed Sheeran starts his "Why I left the left" grift?

  • [–] 14 points 1 week ago

    man, I hope this is widespread and permanent. Let us never hear his music again.

  • [–] 12 points 1 week ago

    A shame it's taken this long to get his "music" off the airwaves. It should have happened years ago.
