Genuine question: what does a āslap on the wristā mean to yāall?MW was suspended from his label, banned from radio play at the outset of his albumās release, prohibited from attending awards shows, vilified by any person not in his fanbase, and ultimately prompted to grovel before the masses on Good Morning America for what he did. Not to mention the Dixie Chicksā controversy took place two decades agoāand involved a public statement against a sitting presidentāwhile MWās was only two years ago and involved a private, drunken conversation caught on a neighborās camera. We can argue the morality of the two until weāre blue in the face, but the simple fact is that MW suffered real consequences for what he did, and people still hold it over his head to this day. I think both of these so-called ācancel cultureā moments were dumb and grossly hypocritical when we consider how many known predators and abusers continue to excel in their careers to this day (Woody Allen, Chris Brown, etc.). (41)
I didnāt say there werenāt members of his fanbase who held him accountableāin fact, I have friends who stopped listening to him and who no longer consider themselves fans because of what he did. I just wanted to underscore the fact that no one with any real influence in the industry condoned what he did, or even came to his defense, in the immediate aftermath.If you believe that a āslap on the wristā is essentially a punishment that is too short-lived for your likingā¦how much longer should MW be made to suffer for what he did? And, more importantly, what purpose would it serve?Accountability does not exclude the possibility of giving grace and allowing growth. Personally, I think excluding MW from the public sphere would hinder both (as it did for DC back in the day). Also, I was about 3 years old when the latter controversy took place, so I honestly couldnāt tell ya why people behaved differently back thenāI imagine misogyny is a part of it, though! (10)
My issue with The Chicks is that, when given the opportunity to make a statement or āapologizeā, Natalie doubled down on her stance that got her in trouble in the first place. Just listen to āNot Ready To Make Niceā and thatās Natalie in a nutshell. (1)

He went out and partied during Covid and Indie was only a few months old. He also made out with at least 10 different girls while partying during Covid. The max that happened to him was his SNL appearance got pushed back. Oh and didnāt stop his fans from hurling threats and slurs at people that held him accountable. If he was truly sorry he wouldāve at least tried to stop it. Atp MW himself isnāt the problem but his fans are. His fans that try to get him out of everything.:

The ānot in his fan baseā is my entire point NOBODY in his fandom held him accountable but if it was anyone else theyād hold them accountable but because itās some yee yee kid from the middle of nowhere they donāt. A slap on the wrist to me is he got away with it to quickly. The Chicks suffered for years but MW suffered for like 2 months and everything was back to normal. Itās the misogyny in country music or heck in the entertainment industry in general.:

His career shouldāve suffered like the chicks did. He shoulda been blackballed longer. Big Loud didnāt āsuspendā him. They kept him quiet until it blew over then Big Louds golden child is back on top. Just because major radios pulled him doesnāt mean every radio station pulled him. Meanwhile for the chicks they got pulled from every single radio station. Same thing should happen for Jason Aldean but it wonāt because heās a Republican Man. Ever wonder why female singers rarely get number 1s on the radio unless itās a duet with someone from another genre or itās with a man? For example Lauren Alaina. Right now sheās the go to person for duets with a man. She has a ton of wonderful and amazing and emotional songs that she sings but you donāt hear those on the radio (at least not where I live). You hear āOne Beerā or āGetting Over Himā or āWhat Ifsā. She has 3 hit songs. Road Less Traveled, What Ifs, & One Beer. Two of those she was just featured on. One of those I didnāt hear once on m...:

Comparing Morgan using a racial slur to the Dixie Chicks who didn't like the President because he was "from Texas" and they didn't want a war, is ridiculous. THOUSANDS of people were killed on 9/11 by terrorists, George W Bush sent our troops to war in Iraq because of this attack. The Dixie Chicks absolutely deserved to be cancelled. Morgan may have hurt people with his word choices but you can learn and grow from that and I believe he has. Bashing the President for sending our troops to war to defend our Country after the deadliest terrorist attack in US is unforgivable.:

Oh Iām ready. MW stans hate when people do this. But Iām petty and I canāt stand that fandom. Heck remember when after the incident they were calling people slurs and sending threats to people on Twitter? Thatās why MM is better. (They also hate when you say that). Idk what they find good about him. He looks like every other white guy in the south. Heck someone my dad works with and knew since he (the guy) was young IS MW except he canāt sing & aināt got a baby mama (that he knows of) but other than that heās like MWs long lost twin. But them sending threats and trying to dox me just proves my point that theyāre crazy and not in a good way.:

Oh Iāve heard āNot Ready To Make Niceā. Itās one of my favorites. Not everyone is going to be for war. Not everyone supports the idea of war. Not everyone supports the idea of kids getting shot for something they canāt control (if youāre threatening my family then Iām going to do what you say. But thatās also how a lot of children are raised in war zones). Was it in bad taste? At the time yes. But do I blame them for being vocal on their views? Heck no.:
