    Streisand Effect. I agree with your opinion, if they are hired and paid to preform at a venue, then that type of work should be free of personal message or bias.

    If they had paid for use of the venue(basically a tour or show) then that would be a platform they are welcome to explain their message.

    That being said, no idea why your are being down voted, you are having a friendly and respectful conversation here, and even I can see merits in your debate.

      Thanks for the response. It’s typical hive mentality. And I don’t mean that in a bad way- but this type of thing is common on social media. its no different here than it was Reddit.

      There’s a general theme to the opinions/topics that are considered within the margins of acceptability here. Sadly, nuanced discussion is lost in this to the point that it’s essentially not allowed without ridicule or downvoting it into oblivion.

      It’s to be expected.
