That isn't to say they can't and won't create things that are innovative and spectacular and will touch other people deeply and get others through rough patches in their lives. They have and they will. I just won't be one of those people who enjoy the songs or who is delighted by what they create or who turn to their creations for comfort, at least not so long as this poison is there from the act(s) of bullying via ostracism nothing they do can bring joy to my heart or touch my soul. Many people will love seeing them and what they do - just not me while acts of intentional cruelty are any part of what they allow to be done in their name and who they choose to be as a collective.
For as long as this is true for me (or I know of it being done to any fans) for having been honest that the country music was going to make me stop attending concerts (due to the pain the twanging vocals cause me with my synesthesia) there will be nothing that Delta Rae can do or create that will get any approbation from me or make me light up incandescent with joy like I did at the 35 shows of theirs I have attended.
This is a poison they distilled and created in their own name and have continued to perpetuate rather than clean up the mess so it kills everything that had grown and everything that could grow. I can't fix this, I can only be honest about how I have reacted and how you should expect me to continue to react as long as the bullying at the center of the band's official instagram account is allowed to exist and to poison everything they touch or try to create as a collective.
As I said, plenty of people will be delighted by whatever they create. Just not me while this remains any part of who they allow themselves to be as a collective. For me, everything related to Delta Rae is dead and barren and unable to bring me any joy for as long as the intentional cruelty and bullying is a part of their instagram account and an ostracized access to content exists across their social media presence. This is about them and their ethics. And unless they acknowledge it and clean it up, nothing they do or create can get me excited or bring me joy or get me to admire them or praise their creations again.
This isn't any damn thing I ever wanted or a path I would have chosen, but it's how things are now. And I'll not lie to myself or anyone else about it.
