      Didn’t say it was morally permissible. Just said it’s more nuanced than the current response of social shaming & individual boycotts.

      Again, I’ll point that I’m not the one drawing lines in the sand here.

      It is perfectly reasonable for you to be disgusted by this information. It’s also perfectly reasonable if you to acknowledge that this is not all of the information & that maybe going scorched earth is a bit hasty at this point.

      I’m not saying the Foo Fighters aren’t dicks. If they line their pockets with this money & don’t do anything of value with it, then yeah, fuck em.

      But I will remind you that this is the same band that waggled their dongs around in front of the Westboro Baptist Church.

      I don’t even like this band & I’m willing to give ‘em a few minutes because of that moment alone.

        Why do you care if an individual boycotts something they don’t want to support? What impact does that have on you?

        You also made the distinction of private vs public performance so now I’m more confused. You said because it’s private it doesn’t matter but it also doesn’t make it morally permissible?
