We have our wedding booked at the Little Lodge next year and as huge music lovers this would be devastating. This would cripple the venue and a wonderful countryside pub.
Kayleigh supported: Support Community Music at Little Lodge – Let’s Find a Fair SolutionI've been a fan of Sleep Token since 2023. Since then, I have seen and followed many creative artists who work tirelessly to create new pieces of artwork to share online for fans of Sleep Token. When RCA decided to remove some pieces of art, I just couldn't fathom why. As far as cosplayers are concerned, some of them are respectful to the band by spreading their music to others who haven't heard of Sleep Token before. It's more or less RCA's fault for not letting fans express their love for their favorite band.
Nicholas supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downFanart in all forms is a show of love, and taking down our offerings of devotion is so discouraging to such a passionate community. Focus your efforts on the scalpers and merch scammers, not the fans showcasing their joy
Kiera supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downSleep Token has saved my life and made me better as a person, I hate to see people like me sharing their art the same as I am and getting it taken down while the actual bootleggers making actual money off of stolen art are left untouched.
Terrance supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downFan accounts are just trying to share their art, banning that is like taking away their freedom of expression. They're not doing anything bad, if anything, they're making people's days by sharing what they made.
Harley supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downSleep Token has ALWAYS been about the fans and how they connect with the music, how we apply our own meanings and stories into the lyrics and the imagery. for RCA, a company fundamentally un-involved with the creative side of the project, to suddenly start harshly policing nonprofit fanartists for sharing their passion is a bad look for the band and will only harm them in the long run, ignoring the damage this erasure does to the affected artists. yet i see actual bootleggers stealing fanart and selling it as fast fashion with SPONSORED ADS running on Instagram, and they remain unchecked. why punish non-offenders and leave actual criminals unpunished? it not only makes no sense, it seems malicious from the outside looking in.
keep big companies OUT of fandom.
charly supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downThe creatives in the ST fanbase are an important part of the act of worship. They dont do it to profit but rather to show their support & love. I understand protecting the interest in the brand that is Sleep Token but stifling community creativity is harmful to both the community & the band. Without the fans, where would Sleep Token be?
Bonny supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downBefore Sleep Token, my art was scarce, bleak, and aimless. They have been there for me during times when life itself felt devouring, and have inspired me to create like nothing else has before. All we ask is to keep being able to create without discrimination, esp since I’m not making a single penny off of my fan art. We would be eternally grateful. Worship.
Batteri supported: Stop ST Management team taking Sleep Token Cosplayers and fan artists accounts downSleep Token pr on videos their offering in the form of music being art.
The fan base, in return, gives back in many forms of art to express how greatful we are for the bands hard work and dedication.
It would be crime to just take away what probably makes the band smile quietly in their down time.
The boys deserve to be happy, and I think the fans' creations deserve to be out there and allowed the exposure to reach the band.
Maybe the bands having a hard time, suddenly fan art pops up, might make em smile.
The Espera's were probably not feeling it, they see someone cosplaying as them, or making fanart-
You never know how someone's art will effect another, and I find them at the creative fan base care deeply enough to make something to make the band mates smile :)
So please don't target fan artist & creators.
