      Body shaming hurts far more people than the intended target, who it often doesn’t even hurt cause he won’t even see it. Do better.

      Apparently I don’t know what I’m talking about, I thought for sure this was a small dick joke.

        I think the joke is that he is bad at playing guitar. Because he only know how to use the first three frets

        The joke has nothing to do with Ed’s body. The image is a joke referring to the fact that all of Ed’s songs use cowboy chords played on the first three frets. Therefore, he doesn’t need additional frets. Get it yet?

        So it is in fact you that needs to

        Do better.

            The joke is in fact that he only uses three chords. That image has been going around on guitar meme pages for years now.

            genuinely, what else could it be? short neck joke? does he even have a short neck? nirvana guitar joke would be 2 frets bigger in the 90s (and 2 strings missing probably)

              I seriously don’t get how people are misinterpreting this as a joke about his dick size. I’ve never even heard of guitar being used as a metaphor for the penis.

                thats kinda ok, even if guitar parts are called body/neck/head, not popular knowledge, but comrade from db provided that explanation (little bit high horsey, but still) and got ridiculed for it (!) (meow-hug to our glass brethren)

          Macklemore has such incredibly strong cracker energy, so you would also expect him to have a lot of those views.

          Mildly jarring that he is actually cool.

            The Heist is a killer album, that song aside, I haven’t listen to too much of his more recent stuff, the Hind’s Hall and Hind’s Hall 2 get played quite often. I’m waiting for him to team up with Lowkey for a song given Palestine is pretty important to him too.

    Ed’s demonstrated that money matters more to him than people’s lives. He doesn’t want to pick a side but he has, the side of money, or so he thinks… But being despised in the music industry relegates you to the grifter circuit.

        Yeah the thing is that other artists who do give a shit will stop working with him, because the music scene itself is social and a lot of them don’t want to be disliked by other artists. You end up with it splitting into the grift circuit and the real cultural circuit.

      Sheeran is one of the wealthiest and most popular musicians in the world. He has the leverage to say “I’m not performing without him, eat dicks,” and he might have his shows cancelled but he’d be fine.

      And more than likely that wouldn’t happen anyway. Those venues wouldn’t want to refund hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tickets. He’s a big enough name and financially secure enough that the venues need him more than he needs them.

        You would think having all that money would make rich creatives more inclined to say “fuck it, I will survive the repercussions” and be willing to lose revenue streams, but no, they always behave like their bourgeois handlers.
