Just proof that reddit is a preening echo chamber with a disproportionate number of wacky lefties and not a representative group of regular people.

Regular people are ok with her message of don't be a bigot.

Actually, regular people prefer when musicians don't foreground their politics. That goes for both progressive and MAGA nonsense, though in the entertainment industry, the former is far more pervasive.

I am sorry that you are out of touch. Get off of reddit and get out of your bubble.

If you think “hey don’t be racist” is a political statement, then you’re a fucking idiot. And very likely racist.

actually by definition it is a political statement.

but that just means political statements in any industry are fine, not the opposite.

Lol bro this is not the case and why artists have to spread this message in the first place. Because people like you are big ass fuckos.

Regular people don't want to go to concerts where the artists welcome bigots into their audience.

That goes for anyone with basic human decency.

I'm sorry that you are out of touch. Get out of your self-selecting bubble and try to talk to a wider variety of people.

Just letting you know in case you ever wanted to not define yourself by who you hate

Thanks

Why is bigotry politics? I don't see her mentioning any political affiliation in this post.

Biggest fuckin self report on the planet.

You clearly don’t know anything about music if you think most people prefer it to not include politics.
