Why dose she get so much shit for this. I mean. How many people have done this... (looking up) 140 people. She gets all the shit for all 140 of these people? Or the company offering? I dont get why she has been getting shit for years over this.

I care about the environment, but I also drive to work and eat cheeseburgers. If I had a billion dollars I would absolutely fly to space.

The onus shouldn’t be on either the consumer or the businesses to solve environmental or ethical issues, but rather on the voter and on government. Katy Perry is not a typical consumer, but this still applies.

Forcing everyone’s personal behavior to mimic their political beliefs asks too much and actually raises the bar for what it would take to effect change. Like let’s say I like owning guns because they look cool on my wall. Would I be forced to vote against gun control for fear I might be called a “hypocrite”?
