I mean I get your point. I even back you to a degree.
But you’re calling out a popular entertainer for not wanting to put on a show - which requires a support staff, venue, and audience - while now having to think what nut might be in the audience waiting to take a shot.
MAYBE this shit is already stressful enough for Jack without worrying about everyone around him and how that extra stress will undermine their performances as they do this shit night after night for the entire tour.
But no, tell him he must go on. It doesn’t cost you shit. You don’t have to live with the stress of it all.
Yea, I get it, but this shit is exactly what gives these people power, and emboldens them to continue to do it to others, both more and bigger. It got to this point specifically because the people who can stand up to it chose not to, and so now if you so much as make a comment about these fucks in an attributable space it’s expected that they’ll make credible death threats and bomb threats, maybe even blow up a building, who knows. And it’s your fault for saying it, because I mean look at the way you were talking. Practically asking to be murdered.
This is just so glib.

Fuck that.
I’m not saying you’re incorrect, but it’s easy to be principled when it’s someone else in the cross-hairs.
Victim blaming is wrong, but boisterously inviting danger is stupid.
