Wicked Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I don't stan anyone and don't have this dilemma. I'm here for the music. Most Pop artists don't share my political views. I'm a fan of many artists but I'm not going to bat for a bunch of people I don't know, it's not that deep. If you trash, you trash lol. 2 1
Bosque Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I don't care and neither does anyone on this forum, the Tumblr days of "your fave is problematic" are over 1 1
Onyxmage Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) Its too late for that. Public figures will always be political. The issue is how far in they are into their beliefs. but lol at the people on this page saying "I dont care if your trash" and trying to be edgy. Seriously, you dont care if an artist aligns with wannabe fascists that are trying to take your rights away? Please grow a brain. Edited October 2 by Onyxmage
pavi Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Just like with friends, it's okay if we don't align on basic policies, but we can't disagree about human rights and I can't be around you if you can't agree to basic facts. Common understanding of at least some rules om how to live together and what to consider as true is vital.
LovingDays Posted October 2 Posted October 2 From what he's shared so far, we're pretty much the same So I don't have to worry about that
SpaceOddity Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I've stanned no one in my adult life, which was huge cause I grew up adoring celebrities and musicians as a lonely queer teen. I know better than have good faith in most of them, specifically the richer ones. ESPECIALLY the last couple years they've all outed themselves as zionists or libtatds. Sure they can have my three Spotify cents but I don't buy albums or merchandise or go to concerts anyway. I will draw a hard line if it's somebody with rape allegations. But for the most part I don't care and I don't turn to them for social causes or as a guide to my moral compass. I mean, for ****'s sake, I love Courtney Love's music lol. 1 1

My brain understands that I don't know these people and I have zero expectations of them. Y'all too busy worshipping celebrities personal lives and their every move. That's why you be hurt a capitalist supports policies that undermine various groups of people. When that's exactly what they do. What is there to "unstan" if you act normal and don't "stan" anyone in the first place. And you're talking about fascists when you were one of the people dragging Chappell Roan for not being enthusiastic about voting for a ******* Zionist. Stop. 3 2

Now go listen to your MAGA playlist miss wicked. 2 1
glitch Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I would not openly support someone who came out as a Tory or any other form of right winger but I think I might still listen to their music. If they were a proper bigot then maybe I'd consider deleting them from my playlists.

If YOU understood basic reading comprehension, you would've seen in my post I state the ridiculousness of stanning in the first place. You just wanted to be shady. Cat got your tongue on the rest of that post tho, as expected. Most of the artists I listen to are Black Leftists, you really think you did something here Edited October 2 by Wicked
nsst Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) If it's an extreme conservative view, like Kanye West saying slavery was a choice or Lana Del Rey's husband saying trans people deserve to be beaten, then obviously yes. Speaking of Lana Del Rey's husband, what I don't get is how fans of problematic singers (like her) often turn a blind eye to their idol's views while judging other artists for having similar views (or, in most cases, the artist they're judging doesn't even hold those views, they're just politically neutral).

Not the some of my best friends are black argument though. Just take the L and move on.
thatsmydemi Posted October 2 Posted October 2 No, at least not in 2024 because they went through an obsessive political phase a few years ago. So if she went silent now I wouldn't really care.

ariananext Posted October 2 Posted October 2 If by "politics" you mean issues like human rights, then yes, I would immediately unstan (maybe I would listen to their music but not support). But if it's about something that doesn't impact people's lives, I probably wouldn't care as much. I think celebrities should educate themselves before speaking on sensitive topics. For example, many posted about Israel just because they have Jewish friends, without really understanding the complexity of the situation, just because they're gullible. If they're going to spread harmful misinformation because they can't take the time to read and learn, they should stay quiet rather than speaking just for the sake of it.
Démodé Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I only stan one or two people who are ok, the rest I'm a fan of, huge or casual. This last year I have stopped listening so much to celebrities/artists who don't speak about the genocide in Palestine.
JO1s Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Well most of my favs aren't even tuned into American politics considering they live on the other side of the world.
UnderratedVocalist Posted October 2 Posted October 2 No lol, I'm not a narcissistic, brainwashed child. I will UNSTAN her though if **** comes out about her, relating to the recent things being exposed in Hollywood.
