    https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/linkin-park-issues-cease-and-desist-after-trump-re-election-video-uses-bands-music

     

    Seriously, I do not understand how any of these people think. Linkin Park joins the list of music entertainers who lose their shit because Trump’s campaign uses their music. First off, Linkin Park…you have not been a relevant band in how long? Did it ever occur in your addled brains that millions of people who follow Trump might suddenly hear your music, be reminded of you, and decide they may want to buy your music again or for the first time? No…of course not…because you are good little Useful Idiots that blindly and happily follow the Left Wing Progressive SJW agenda.

     

    How hard is it to just shut up, make your product, and sell it to the public?

     

    Must be pretty hard, because anyone like me who support the President, which probably means millions, now wants nothing to do with your content. So thanks, Linkin Park, you just helped me free up some space on my harddrive now that I’ve deleted your tracks from my iTunes library. I had them in my library for 20 years, and I don’t even have the CDs I ripped them from anymore.

    Some may say such a reaction is going overboard, but this is how I react when this shit happens. When someone shoots their mouth off,  I don’t want to sully my ears or eyes with their garbage content anymore, because all I can think of is how much they piss me off. Now I of course have to make allowances here and there, otherwise I couldn’t watch most of the MCU, as an example. You can call me a hypocrite on that, but whatever, I know it’s a thin line, but I have tossed movies in the garbage before because of this stuff, and there are actors/actresses who I won’t watch or purchase ever again.

     

    I admit I am not so enlightened that I can always fully separate the film from the actor. Maybe some day, but not today. I suffer the likes of Robert DeNiro in one movie, because Godfather II is a work of art. I can go the rest of my life never watching any of his other movies ever again, because that man is an epic piece of shit.

     

    But when it comes to something like Linkin Park, who have no relevance in my life at all, I can toss it all in the dumpster and never look back.

     

    I fucking hate 2020.

      Hi @Roas, man, that post was packed full of emotion, that’s not a bad thing, humans have emotions, and they shouldn’t keep them bottled up, but on the other hand we shouldn’t let them run compleatly wild either, as someone with an explosive temper and a tendancy to over-react to shit (whether it’s directly ’cause of that shit or not) i know how hard it is to find that balance, i’m almost always at each extream, either bottling everything up or running wild and i’m just learning now how to balance shit out

      I might not be qualified to give you this advice, but Master Yoda is 😊

      Maybe this’ll calm you down a little, or maybe it’ll piss you off even further, i just know that remembering some jedi training always helps me stay level headed,  after all, there’s a reason there’s suppost to be balance in the force 😉

      At this point, I’ve become desensitized to celebs mouthing off as though their opinion matters. I generally assume most of those in the entertainment industry are “default libs” who have the political acumen of a teaspoon and get all their opinions from the MSM, unless they prove themselves otherwise (like James Woods, who’s pretty based).

      They’re entitled to have these opinions, of course, no matter how misinformed. I closely followed politics for a few years and I saw stuff like this daily. Eventually I stopped caring what people on their moral high-horse thought.

        The creative community is notoriously liberal and emotionally reactive.

          I was actually going to buy some of their older albums until they went full retard.

          Sometimes people need to get angry.

            Most of people in the entertainment business think they must become activists against conservatives because that’s what is “cool”, “brave” and “stunning”. Many of them have pressure from agents, others are just dumb and believe everything they see on the news and on social media.

            For example, I like eminem, but he’s dumb af. He’s a rapper genius, but that’s about it.

            I also love Robert de Niro movies, casino, goodfellas, godfather… those are my favorite movies… but he’s dumb af when he talks politics… he is in La La Land his whole damn life, he doesn’t know shit about real life, why da fuck we should listen to a millionaire like him?

            It’s messed up, but do n0t give up hope… this is only a temporary trend. I think conservatives will become more vocal and more smart when it comes to tech and internet and they will take advantage of that to let more people know that it’s not okay to insult or harass someone just because they are conservatives (unfortunately, nowadays mainstream media and hollywood tell people that it’s ok to do so because “all conservatives are bigots and racists”).

            Cheers

            That’s not exactly what I meant, lol

            Hollyweird has gone off the rails BECAUSE we give them money for the trash they produce. You can’t separate the two.

              Think he just meant Roas wanted to let off some steam and needed to vent. Which is fine. I can understand why people would feel frustrated at the current political situation and find their own way to deal with it (though a social media platform isn’t always the best place for it, mind you).

              Thing is, what’s going on right now has happened before. The last time social tensions were this bad it was the 1960’s. We seem to go through this shit in cycles, as the old value system breaks down, a new one needs to emerge to unite people again.

              This place is as close to social media as I get, while I have yet to start a YT channel.

               

              I went into rant mode, because right now this forum is one of the best places I know where I can put up a topic like this and generate a decent discussion without anyone going SJW crazy…because we’re all normal ppl here…relatively speaking ;)
