To the Self-Proclaimed Critics and Hypocrites,
Let’s set the record straight! You who sit on your digital thrones, armed with opinions yet completely disarmed by action—I see you! You pop up after every event, ready to dissect what you perceive as our failures while conveniently glossing over your own lack of contribution. It’s astounding how quickly you wield your keyboards to criticize, yet you seem to disappear when it’s time to put in real effort.
You love to lament our setbacks and losses at , but where were your voices before we took the stage? Did you step up to support the artists, show up for your local talent, or contribute to the community you so eagerly critique? Or did you prefer the comfort of your home, penning your thoughts from the sidelines, all while the very creators you critique are out there hustling?
Hypocrisy is a tough pill to swallow, and it tastes even worse when you call yourselves supporters yet refuse to lift a finger. If you truly care about this industry, then hold yourselves accountable too. Place your judgments aside, step into the arena, and show us what you’re made of. Can you create? Can you inspire? Or are you just experts at tearing down those who risk it all?
So here’s a challenge: Instead of merely commenting from the sidelines, why not dive into the fray? Get involved, mentor, support, and create! Until then, your applause means nothing if it comes only when we stumble. Step up or step aside.
The stage is ours, and the music will go on whether you’re in the crowd or just watching from your seat.
