I'd rather she cancel than go on stage while not in the right headspace and potentially give a shitty performance.

Ia, also if she gave a subpar performance she'd probably get heckled (in the era of unhinged post-covid concert audiences) which would make things absolutely worse for her mental health.

ia. like the reputation of last-minute cancelling might follow her but so would the video of a show where she's not present, or god forbid has some kind of breakdown.

there's no winning here but there's a loss that is less harmful.

considering how absolutely deranged people have been towards her the past few weeks, i don't blame her. sucks for everyone who only bought tickets for her though.

I feel like any negativity expressed towards Chappell rn would be better used phone banking, volunteering or any type of irl direct political action in your local community❤️❤️❤️

[agirlnamed_aly]

yeah but then people would actually have to do something that requires energy and being principled irl instead of hating anonymously on the internet to feel morally superior

/s

I wish her well through all this unnecessary backlash she's receiving bc it seems like people have used her stance to dump all their political frustrations when it's so much bigger than her. I hope she's surrounded by people who will help her go through and heal her current anxieties.

I feel for her fans, but I won't blame anyone looking after their own mental health. I know I would if I had that privilege.
