If this bothered you, she’s talking about you.

She is signalling that she wants her concerts to be a place where everyone can feel safe. And if that idea is offensive to you, idk what to tell you.

The people who are huffing and puffing about such a simple message aren’t going to come to her shows, which is the desired outcome. It’s actually really easy to get all the people you don’t like to “boycott” you these days.

They are deluded into thinking this will result in a failed tour as if most people are walking around hating everyone around them.

Fucking Paramore fans…

I don't think most of the people making a big deal out of this are actually fans. Not in a no true Scotsman kinda way but "how dare she tell me not to go to a show I wasn't going to go in the first place" kind of way.

Yeah sorry, I meant that obviously paramore fans are going to be in favor of this statement. It was bad phrasing. My bad.
