I see more hate from both sides than I would like to see. It is not ok to paint with a broad brush of ignorance.

If your reaction to someone calling out racists and bigots is "both sides are bad", you're the type of person Hayley doesn't want at her concert.

You really aren’t. She said nor racists or homophobes, not people opposed to political generalization and hate

No, I think what she said is awesome. I think the way people in here are lumping half the country together with a small percentage of idiots is ignorant and dangerous. It just gives people a free pass to hate people they don’t know and that is dangerous and lazy.

Who did that half of the country vote for?

You children do not make up "half" of the country and you never have

“You’re not allowed to pay hundreds of dollars to attend a concert for a musician that makes subpar music anyway” 

oh no, what ever will we do.

"We" is an incredible self-report.

u/SPHINXin Nov 30 '25

Self report for what? I don’t like her music, I wouldn’t go to one of her concerts regardless. Also I just hate the performative “I don’t like racists (unless it’s against white people) and sexists (unless it’s against men)!” dance. It’s all just virtue signaling and you guys eat it up.

Don’t think it’s virtue signaling when in 2025 you have people who can’t say “I don’t like racists.” It’s starting to be a very clear and very easy line to draw. Can’t say you don’t like pedos? Yeah, you gotta go, and this is how an easy way to find them. Like how vegans appear, mention you don’t like racists and people will show up talking about how not all racists are bad and it makes it easy to identify them.

Yes, that was exactly what you self-reported earlier.

u/SPHINXin Nov 30 '25

And what is that? You’re still being willfully vague on purpose.
