While threatening IS way too far, I get why people are upset. The station DID straight up LIE. They said they had news on/a request from Clancy, which people have been following for months and have been up and focusing on it for days bc it’s been coming to it’s climax. People in other countries are up in the middle of the night just to hear what’s up and it’s JUST a contest and no actual info on Clancy.
Hosting a contest is technically news for a radio station. A media outlet playing along into what little tidbits of concept album hype that’s out there makes sense from a promotional perspective. It’s not like they were specifically asking for an international viewership, especially since they’re not a national/international station, people tuned in on their own accord. Besides, as cool as it would’ve been for it to be legit... in retrospect, it would seem a little silly for a small Arizona station to have international news on a band from Ohio, no?
But i go back to my main point: exaggerating/playing along to the lore is no excuse to call the hostess by vulgar slurs and report her tweets/try to cancel her show. It was just a red herring, and a cute contest for Arizona fans, let them have that because that’s really easy to move on from.
