Disappointed
I’ve stopped listening and following Mamrie and Grace. I assumed they’d have the moral compass to speak up about a certain g***cide (among other things) but it has been months and I’m tired of supporting people with influence who wield that influence without decency or really any moral code. They do ads for companies like skims and rave about Taylor Swift, supporting billionaires and other no-good corporations. Not even mentioning something or providing external sources if they don’t feel fit enough to speak on something (or because it doesn’t fit the “theme” of the podcast which is a tired and weak excuse at this point) shows where their ethics stand. I get you need the money from sponsors, I get that those sponsors may back out, but choosing money and social comforts over humanity is exactly why I’m disappointed. I empathize with feeling overwhelmed with this stuff (particularly after the traumatic year Grace has had) but it’s not an outrageous request that the creators I support do something as simple as “Hey, this is really awful. As two people with a large following of listeners and viewers, let’s shed light on this for 30 seconds”. They can easily turn this around and gain some respect back but otherwise they’ll continue having vapid conversations about Taylor Swift concerts and what they bought on Amazon, and they’ll continue ignoring the horrors happening around them and the way they’re actively supporting those horrors. Silence is often more harmful than speaking up.
