And yes I'm talking about this from @Harry_Styles. There is such a long list as to why this is problematic, I don't even know where to begin. https://twitter.com/HSHQ/status/1247524558686453766
Okay that's a lie I do know where to begin. How about

A) It is preposterous to use this as a grotesque way to claim ownership over other people's donations. Plus it actually decreases the overall money they could have donated directly. But bonus for artist: They are walking ads
B) Why not actually donate money yourself, since celebrities enjoy a much wealthier lifestyle than their fans?

C) Where are people supposed to wear this shirt to, exactly? Its messaging is nice, but people should just... stay inside. Buying a shirt that says so is NOT it.
D) How are people supposed to afford this anyways when they are probably anxious and worried about their own survival financially, or worried about their job perspective and unemployment ?

E) Creating & delivering a shirt means putting people in danger bc they can't work remote
F) and finally, this may apply in some particular countries only like the US or UK - there are tax benefits to charity donations. And you aren't getting those benefits, because you didn't donate directly. But he will.
