I have a question about boycotting entertainers.

If an entertainer you like attended a function or performed at the invitation of:

1. Barack Obama
2. Hillary Clinton
3. Joe Biden
4. Kamala Harris
5. Nancy Pelosi
6. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (often called AOC)
7. Bernie Sanders
8. Gavin Newsom

Would that change the way you see that person?
If you are a fan of that entertainer would you continue,to listen to his/her music, movies, etc?

No. A gig is a gig is a gig, and playing for the POTUS is an honor no matter who holds the office.

On the flip side, if they’re actively out fundraising for and evangelizing on behalf of a candidate, that’ll be a major turnoff that might dissuade me from buying a ticket to see them live.

For example, I love The Wonder Years music. I know that they are hard left politically, but their singer took 5 plus minutes out of a 30 minute set just to talk about ICE. Definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

The only thing entertainer I care about is Mr Cliff Tan of TikTok.

He could have sex with Obama and I’d still like him.

Swearing fealty to the democratic machine is virtually a requirement for any kind of success in entertainment. Boycotting them for toeing the line of the DnC would be like boycotting your local cleaners because they pay the mob for “protection” every month.

When why and how did we get to this point?

Entertaining for a leftist politician isn’t a bad thing. They’re entertainers.

Telling me what I should and shouldn’t believe is a bad thing, and I’ll boycott an entertainer who does that.

That’s not a one-way thing either. If I want to see Kid Rock (I don’t) and I hear he spends significant time spouting off about politics, I won’t waste my money.

Wouldn't give you 2 cents (not that I really cared for him before) for the rock after he came out and told us to vote for Sleepy Joe in 2020.

A gig is a gig.

I have stopped listening to Stevie Nicks because I can't help thinking how proud she is of her abortion.

I stopped listening to Madonna years ago because I am pretty sure she's a demon, Lady Gaga too.

Steven Tyler often gets skipped... he funked around with 14yr olds.

But based off gigs? No.

1) Do you remember a few weeks ago when the New York Giants QB introduced President Trump at a rally? That guy caught Holy Hell for simply introducing Trump. That doesn't happen to Lefties when they do something similar.

2) At least 90% of the time it's the intolerant Left who engage in Cancel Culture. People like Sally Field, De Niro, Jennifer Anniston, etc. can say whatever they want and not have to worry about being blacklisted.

But, somebody like James Woods? Totally different story.

I couldn't care less because I actually believe in free speech.
Cancel Culture is for the overly sensitive

As My Cousin Vinny Gambino's fiancee (Marisa Tomei) would say from the witness stand, "That's a bullshite question!"

I probably already dislike any entertainer who would perform for those people you listed...

IF they played for those individuals but refused to play for conservatives then yes it would

I normally wouldn’t boycott someone who campaigns for someone or something I don’t like.

In the other hand, if someone starts promoting things I do like, I’ll give them more attention.

I once liked about every movie Di Nero was in. Now, I won’t watch anything he’s done if I run across it on TV.

There’s several other actors and actresses that fall into that category.
