stan twitter advocating for woke points and put every celeb on a & #39;problematic& #39; scale to decide who to stan and unstan and cancel, and often label them with all the deadly -ist or -phobia based on one quote, one joke, one instance, likely taken out of context most of the time, 1/?
instead of understanding the reality is that human are complex being, there& #39;re only few people we truly know in our lives, and so how can you and who are you to judge the celeb who you have 0.01% glimpse of their lives. You don& #39;t know personally them, & they& #39;re not politician 2/?
they& #39;re celebs, most of them are also just civilian human like us who have no power to affect your actual life if you dont let them, it& #39;s one thing to actively promote sth inhumane or illegal, it& #39;s another when they make a mistake or say sth considered to be inappropriate. 3/?
you can& #39;t judge the whole painting based on one paint stroke, whether you like or dislike that paint stroke, that you think it& #39;s righteous or a misstep, you& #39;re projecting the rest of the painting in your head, and there& #39;s no way to confirm what that painting really is. 4/?
the way yall judge them it& #39;s like as if you& #39;re sinless perfect angel. & #39;they needed to be called out& #39; for what purpose exactly? because they& #39;re not going to see your tweet for one, so you& #39;re not calling them out for them to learn, but simply for your own agenda and engagement 5/?
honestly what do you get from holding grudges against someone who you don& #39;t even know & don& #39;t know you, who can& #39;t affect your life long as you don& #39;t let them. why do you need to get all the woke approval points before you can stan a celeb, 6/?
and then cancel immediately soon they lose some, do you do this to your friends and fam? and yourself? I don& #39;t think so. No painting is perfect because we all have different perspective, with celebs you& #39;re merely judging the projection in your head, how& #39;s that your business? 7/?
like them? cool. dislike them for some reason? move on. You don& #39;t need to make a & #39;statement& #39;, listing all the paint strokes you think it& #39;s wrong without the perception of the whole painting, like it& #39;s some validation for your woke points counter because it& #39;s not. 8/?
canceling a celeb is not activism, it doesn& #39;t make you morally superior. If you all abt being woke, you& #39;re not changing the world for a better place til you stop treating everything in b&w and start looking at it with understanding, acceptance for differences, mistakes and growth
