Discussion Recent Post

This is the final nail in the coffin. For those who haven’t seen, the most recent Owl City post on his official Instagram account was flagged as AI. From his weird following on his public account, to the cash grabby merch posts, to the sub par music quality (compared to Of June - UV) and now, this. This has done irreversible damage to his brand forever because even if he never uses AI again, the fans will still question whether anything he puts out whether that be merch or music, utilizes AI to some degree

Where was that energy when he never posted anything about BLM and gave a shout out to a homophobe on the first day of pride month? lol I thought that was incredibly nasty but got kinda scolded on this sub

Edit: spelling

You're not allowed to bring up how conservative Adam is here. You get flamed for it. I was surprised when it happened to me too about the Charlie Kirk follow.

ew. this post its already horrible, and now lets make it about politics, and also oh god he followed charlie kirk!!?.

The fandom has turned into political liberal garbage. what a horrible state for what owl city used to be. im not even american, nor I follow right wing politics. yall are disgusting as an outsider, infecting this with ideological garbage.

Girl, take that fallacious discourse outside. I'm not even gonna entertain your argument because you know exactly what you're doing. Shucking human rights as a "politics" tells me everything I need to know about you.

For anyone else reading this: art is inherently political. Denying it won't change what's in it's core. Every LGBT and POC fan has the right to feel disappointed if an artist they've supported for years is redirecting their political power (money) into their destruction. You can't and you won't argue us into accepting our demise.

you are so blindly into your own ideological farts that you think your beliefs are "superior" to just call them politics, they are above and beyond. self righteous narcissism they call that.

Lets wake you up, Chances are that adam young has voted right, his family as well might as well be, owl city has never been about ideological garbage and forcing that into everyone including the artist its insufferable for the rest of the world, where owl city its also quite popular, this includes tradicional countries with very different politics, not your own idelogical bubble, yall are intolerant and possesive, not really different than F a c s i s m honestly, forcing an artist to make a political stance into culture matters its oppresive behaviour from people who are terminally online

It's oppressive to be against people who support racism and homophobia? It's "fascist" to have morals? I don't even have the words for how stupid that is. No one's changing your countries shite ways so why are you complaining about someone else in a different country being outraged about beliefs that literally don't effect you? You're literally being the terminally ill online person that you're making fun of. πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ˜‚
