Besides using the racial slur, what else has he done? Genuine question (38)

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 didn’t stop his fans from hurling threats and slurs at people that held him accountable. If he was truly sorry he would’ve at least tried to stop it. Atp MW himself isn’t the problem but his fans are. His fans that try to get him out of everything. (-12)

Genuine question: what does a “slap on the wrist” mean to y’all?MW was suspended from his label, banned from radio play at the outset of his album’s 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 Chicks’ controversy took place two decades ago—and involved a public statement against a sitting president—while MW’s was only two years ago and involved a private, drunken conversation caught on a neighbor’s camera. We can argue the morality of the two until we’re 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 “cancel culture” 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.).

The “not in his fan base” is my entire point NOBODY in his fandom held him accountable but if it was anyone else they’d hold them accountable but because it’s some yee yee kid from the middle of nowhere they don’t. 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. It’s the misogyny in country music or heck in the entertainment industry in general. (-9)

I didn’t say there weren’t members of his fanbase who held him accountable—in 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 “slap on the wrist” is essentially a punishment that is too short-lived for your liking…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 couldn’t tell ya why people behaved differently back then—I imagine misogyny is a part of it, though! (10)

His career should’ve suffered like the chicks did. He shoulda been blackballed longer. Big Loud didn’t “suspend” him. They kept him quiet until it blew over then Big Louds golden child is back on top. Just because major radios pulled him doesn’t 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 won’t because he’s a Republican Man. Ever wonder why female singers rarely get number 1s on the radio unless it’s a duet with someone from another genre or it’s with a man? For example Lauren Alaina. Right now she’s 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 don’t hear those on the radio (at least not where I live). You hear “One Beer” or “Getting Over Him” or “What Ifs”. She has 3 hit songs. Road Less Traveled, What Ifs, & One Beer. Two of those she was just featured on. One of those I didn’t 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. (7)

You’re going to have MW stans messaging you super hateful things for weeks now. They might even try and dox you. Just warning you. (19)

Oh I’m ready. MW stans hate when people do this. But I’m petty and I can’t stand that fandom. Heck remember when after the incident they were calling people slurs and sending threats to people on Twitter? That’s 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 can’t sing & ain’t got a baby mama (that he knows of) but other than that he’s like MWs long lost twin. But them sending threats and trying to dox me just proves my point that they’re crazy and not in a good way. (-1)

My issue with The Chicks is that, when given the opportunity to make a statement or “apologize”, Natalie doubled down on her stance that got her in trouble in the first place. Just listen to ‘Not Ready To Make Nice’ and that’s Natalie in a nutshell. (1)

Oh I’ve heard “Not Ready To Make Nice”. It’s 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 can’t control (if you’re threatening my family then I’m going to do what you say. But that’s 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. (1)
