I am only defending her for being labeled as irresponsible or selfish because she did take a vacation.

 

I am sure during her album campaign, shooting music videos, having a concert, photo shootings for magazines etc etc involves hundreds and hundreds of people, much more than the people she went on her vacation with...now are artists also irresponsible for working and having all these people around them involving the same risk or you all keep seeing just one side of the coin aka leisure travel!!!

To be fair, there is quite a difference between work and leisure. The advice in the UK at least is "work from home if you can" - a lot of the jobs that a singer has to do cannot be done from home. This is why TV series and films are continuing to shoot under covid-safe conditions as well. However, leisure is not work and holidays are being cancelled for so many people right now. They're not comparable things at all.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I am obviously still a fan, if I was not a fan I wouldn't even post in here, but the fact how some of her fans in here keep defending her while literally everyone online is saying she is being irresponsible, says a lot.

If anything the online reaction proves Dua's point of how toxic social media and cancel culture has become. The way people are going on about her posting a few vacation pics is honestly ridiculous.

 

People online and on Twitter are well known to have a go at someone over almost anything for retweets and likes but this is on another level. The name calling, spreading of fake news and witch hunting that's going on is awful and I hope Dua isn't taking it to heart for her own mental health's sake.

 

She's allowed to have this vacation because of current regulations and she deserves it after the lengths she's gone through this year to promote this album from an Airbnb flat in isolation, to the extra budgets and protocols of filming music videos and performances during a pandemic, but people have all conveniently forgot about that now because of this "unacceptable", "ugly" and "selfish" behavior :')

but it involves the same risks hence why they are comparable. The virus doesn't know/choose if one is working or leisuring!!!

 

Holidays are cancelled for some, just as work is cancelled for others due to virus. Now just because my work is cancelled does it mean no one else can work and all the TV production be cancelled?!

 

People are attacking Dua for leisuring but not for working. This whole cancel culture is double standard!!!

Of course not, but it's about reducing opportunities for the virus to spread. Work is necessary and the music business cannot grind to a halt entirely, especially when touring is unavailable for the foreseeable, but leisure CAN be avoided. There aren't any double standards, it's about looking at what risks are worth taking. If Dua wants to risk the virus by travelling and socialising then that's her decision but it's a terrible example to set.

So Dua going on private holiday with friends and family at a house in Mexico where it's allowed makes her terrible example? How? She isn't putting the public at risk and you don't know the protocols and testing that's being done there.

 

I agree with Addy, it's all very the pot calling the kettle black. And just because Twitter (of all places) is dragging her doesn't make it right and everyone else must do it as well.

to be honest work can be avoided too in the event of preventing spread of virus!!!

 

Leisure travel is allowed in US and not to mention that her work description constantly requires to travel and socialize with others (and that's for everyone involved in the same industry as hers)...with that being said I don't see how is that any different from her Mexico leisure travels!!!

(YouTube is being weird and filtering comments with social media handles in them - so you can only see some if you change top comments to newest - but thankfully I can still see them all so they're all being counted)
