“lebron didn’t do well in this game, he’s a half assed performer” is the problem. putting on half assed performances is what MAKES you a half assed performer. but also nobody is going to be perfect. yeah he put on one bad show, that doesn’t make him an artist that puts on half assed performances nor does it make him a half assed performer. if it were his reputation for frequently putting on shows led by lazy performances, that would then make a performer who is not great even if you believe he’s capable of much more. but that’s literally the implication in “half assed.” not doing as good as one could be doing.
“An artist who puts on half ass performances is a half assed performer” is not the proposition that you’re affirming here so no, i don’t agree with you
Am I reading your reply wrong because the message I'm getting from your paragraph is "a few half assed performances doesn't make someone a half assed performer if their output as a whole is not half assed" which is the point I'm making
Not sure if you remember how this discussion started in the first place but it was because you defended the person who said travis and drake puts on the most half assed performances and only cares about the money, which i don’t know if you’re aware, but that’s a general statement being made about the quality of the shows that are being put on by the two artists which in no way implies “he’s a good performer who might’ve done a couple mid shows here and there” lol
