So then, it is a shame to see so much negativity in the livestream and elsewhere on the internet. All seeming to be launched by the Tate following, "alpha bro" brain-rot riddled, podcast listening incels with Oedipus complexes that are too afraid of change strong females (or women in general) to recognize a good thing.

Simply by the mere fact that the band had the gall to pick a female vocalist to work with them, Emily is going to face a lot of unfair backlash which is utterly misplaced and frankly there is a lot of introspection that humanity needs to do about now – it’s too easy to label something as “woke” and get needlessly angry at something that ultimately is a non-issue. If this move has angered you, maybe look inside and try to get to the cause of why this causes you to manifest physical rage – As someone who’s “brand” has been described as Chill as Fuck: I promise, you’ll lead a much more fulfilling life just letting the little things go. When was the last time you had road rage? For what? 3 extra seconds waiting behind a car moving slightly slower than you?

There were a few comments that tried to string together a cohesive argument, but a lot of them ultimately fall short because as thinly veiled attempts to distance themselves outwardly from being labelled misogynistic losers.



Since, my current vocation appears to be to tell students what they did right or wrong, I’m not going review Linkin Park here – they did a lot of good, there were a few things that didn’t quite go as smoothly as I’m sure they would’ve liked, but overall, it was a strong outing. Instead, I’m going to review some of the common comments and backlash, and I’ll be drawing upon my experience running brands to lecture provide a counterpoint to some of these arguments.
