What do we think, ladies? How much should she have already known about the accusations against her friend in 2020?

 

Update: Chesters son blasts Mike Shinoda for hiring "friend of many years @emilyarmstrong to replace @chesterbe knowing Emily's history in the church and her history as an ally to @dannymasterson". OUCH.

Welp 

[J-esper]

Eww and she also is appearently in a cult as well. If this is all legit, she is more or less the embodiment of things Chester was against

Given Chester's past, this is especially offensive from the rest of the members. Any self-respecting Linkin Park fan would boycott this line-up, no matter if she is a good replacement or not.

Any self respecting Lp fan would surely want them all to still work. It's awful that Chester is no longer with us, but he was not the only member of the band, and they still have to support their families. It's also not like this wasn't public knowledge before the rest of the "offended members" employed her.

Not sure if this was their only choice for income though

Maybe not, but they also wrote and own those songs. This isn't a Katy Perry situation where she's avoiding the rapist in. Question, and she's put her hands up to being misguided. I understand as an oldschool lp fan it can be a bit heartbreaking to realise Chester's gone but I'm glad the rest are still here.

It's really not. Chester left no specific instructions regarding his wishes for the future of the band and he was at the end of the day a percentage of the band. He wasn't the only vocalist to begin with and they've chosen a lesser known artist who actually sounds somewhat capable of singing the songs decently. They could have gone with an established name for the PR joy like Queen did with Adam Lambert. It's really sad that Chester can't be with them, however when suicide takes your friend from you, why should it also take the art you made together and your right to showcase it. When you feel the impact of a suicide, you spend years and lifetimes wondering if you're honouring someone correctly but at the end of the day you also have to do what's right for you. I don't think Chester would of minded this at all and nobody can point to a reason that's it's not what he would of wanted? You're just banging this drum because you'd rather he were alive and so I'm sure would the rest of his friends in that band. But life goes on, they're not the only band to do this after the loss of a loved one, they won't be the last and the concept isn't new.

???

 

Who's saying they can't still work? People are mad because they chose a literal cultist that goes against everything last frontman stood for as a new singer. 

 

It's truly mind boggling they chose her, what the **** were they thinking? 143 era teas.

[Iceland]

Katy should become the new LinkedIn Park vocalist!

Just stop, please.

 

The initial reactions on her as the replacement have been rather positive, as far as I've seen. But now people get an idea what kind of person she is and there's a sour taste because fans do know what kind of person Chester has been.

 

You say nobody knows what Chester wanted for the band - fair enough. Yet, you claim Chester wouldn't have minded this specific situation. How so?

 

You argue they are showcasing and honouring the music they made together - fair enough. Yet, people feel the specific person they got on board to do so is not up the moral standard.

 

Just accept the feelings of amny fans regarding this specific aspect of this situation.

[Alldeezy]

she made it clear on her recent stories about it.

I said I don't think he'd have a problem with them doing this, as for her, she quite openly said she misjudged the situation and she was wrong. I really despise when someone in the public eye has the candour and courage to admit they were wrong and take accountability for their own bad behaviour only to still be cancelled as if everyone doesn't have the right to make and learn from mistakes. She wasn't chosen for her politics she was literally chosen specifically for her sound. This isn't a Katy Perry situation, she hasn't denied any wrong doing, and the cultist allegations are whispers and Reddit conspiracies with very little supporting evidence. She's in a very delicate situation and I feel a bit sorry for her, I mean there will always be men sHoUTiNG from their chests with convictions about women on the internet without any corroborative substance and they always mention her "morals", ironic.

She is, however she's second generation and has been raised within it so she knows no difference really.

...how could all the other members of Linkin Park mess up THAT much in hiring this woman as their new singer? Chester would've HATED her and everything she represents. His suicide wasn't enough apparently, they had to piss on his grave too

...you DO know they're getting a huge amount of royalties every month from their past successes right? They don't NEED to work ever again if it's all about getting food on the table and they sure as hell didn't have to hire this evil piece of sh*t as the new singer 

 

There's no excuse for any of this, it's naked moral bankruptcy. And Chester was the heart and soul of the band whether you like it or not.

You actually think she's sorry for this in any way? This is all just blatant PR 

 

And PLEASE don't make it about sexism, you know damn well this is not what is happening here. She's a disgusting individual and there's nothing "feminist" about letting women get away with being pieces of sh*t just because they happen to be women. It's not "equality", it's just another form of double standards.

 

The way you're defending her so hard is just... weird honestly, especially when you're diminishing Chester in the process and act as if he was just "one member of the band" when he was SO MUCH more than that. What's your agenda exactly?

Ok, this is my last post on this: you DO know that Scientology is a cult right? How can you say her being in a cult is just "Reddit conspiracies" when she's an open Scientologist? What more proof do you actually need?
