alright, since i’m the first who accidentally found out about this i feel it’s my social responsibility to share it with everyone now after a couple weeks of only talking about this with my closest friends on here.

note that in this thread, we only based our opinions on facts.
so it all started when maddie posted this video on instagram shaving her eyebrow, y’all know the one. i didn’t recognize the guy behind her and i didn’t care much. she can hang out with whomever she wants.
but for some reason, the post kept popping up on my ig timeline and newer comments were there. one was from karen north, austin north’s mom. now i got intrigued cause i was like huh they must be pretty close so i looked up the drake guy, thinking he must be austin’s friend.
lo and behold he is indeed AN’s close family friend. at this point i thought nothing of it, found it kinda cool that the obx cast were so close they even introduced their personal/outside friends to each other. so i was browsing through AN’s ig and found drake franklin’s page.
this is him.

[cue horror movie scream]
before y’all get started, i just wanna say if you’re a trump apologist i don’t need to hear it. the racist, homophobic, misogynistic, insidious bullshit you’re going to spew will go in neither ear because you don’t deserve a platform for your hatred. shut the fuck up ♥
now i am all for championing personal choice and bodily autonomy but i also firmly believe that the company you *choose* keep reflects your principles. meaning your friends. and man do i have news for you.

and yes, that is rudy commenting “🚀” whatever that means.
to make things horrendously worse, this is chase joking around in drake franklin’s post about a trump cult gathering. madelyn liked it. there are a bunch of other posts the other casts liked too, including madison, though she’s pretty vocal about being anti-trump.
back to austin north’s family.

karen north is a christian-republican. worst combo i know. not only are they bigoted, but they use an inherently socialist religion to excuse their stupidity.

she has the audacity to say “love wins” with her whole chest too.
maybe austin isn’t the same. maybe he’s forced to share the genes of these people. maybe? maybe.

if karen has the audacity, turns out his son does too, and proceeds to quote MLK.
i would just like to go on the record that i found out about all this weeks ago but i decided to keep it shut and only told my closest, most trusted friends on here.

we all share the same opinion: obx cast please explain.
in today’s political climate, your platforms are so very insanely important and we could not fathom how you can possibly stomach you associating yourselves with these vile, bigoted individuals.

you have thousands of young fans ready to defend you over this, but should they?
and please please PLEASE before any of y’all cancel me and my friends, trust us, we don’t care.

we didn’t do this for clout. we did this because we were genuine fans of the show and the entire cast, but we’re not blind and we won’t act blind.
ending this thread with the reminder that though it is important to be kind, anger is also a valid emotion. so yes, we are angry about this.

but no, we don’t crucify austin, chase or any of the others. we want to have a genuine discussion with them on how to pick better friends.
