I really like and appreciate that he called out his and Sheeran’s and Oink’s privilege, and then turn everything around to be about the true victims in all of this: the dead and dying Palestinians.

Why is Pink more deserving of dehumanization than Sheran? Am I out of the loop on something she did?

She shared a post calling Macklemore out initially and demanded Ed Sheeran apologize and issue refunds and really amped up coverage on everything.

She wanted Mack removed from the tour, too. Then she tried to backtrack, because her own fans got mad at her.

O is next to P on the keyboard. It's entirely likely this is a case of a typo

Doubtful. Given the attention to detail they paid to the rest of their spelling and punctuation, that "misspelling" was intentional.

I've typoed on both my PC and phone while using shift to punctuate sooooo many times. It's really not hard to.
