For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Direct link to his statement, but it's a bunch of photos of text on Instagram so I used the news article that sums it up as that's more accessible: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdT-6KGAtuI/

I was fucking shocked tbh. I said before this happened that nobody would be stupid enough to do it but apparently he really is just that stupid. The amount of backlash it would provoke was obvious, not just from audiences but from other musicians too.

This completely changes everything he does from now on. Every conversation about Sheeran will involve someone mentioning Israel. All other artists will evaluate whether they want to be associated with that or not when considering work. It's never going away.

Unbelievably stupid mistake.

bonus, anyone who does gets the taint and we know they aren't principled, so if we didn't know before that would out them
