"I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed. If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change. There are different approaches to being an advocate for change."

Fuck off, Ed.

"Keep conversations opened" as he silently watches one side of the conversation get forcibly shut down by the other. Coward.

Yup. Imagine having the ability to be heard by so many and choosing to stay quiet.

One doesn't always need to listen to or agree with the opinions of artists, but an artist who doesn't share their opinions is creating product, not art.
