i was a part of mhas when it was first created. right from the beginning it was toxic. it started when it was a trend to do the “___ loves you” acc, and the actual original gc name was something like “misha is proud of you” and there were 50 members.
it quickly fell apart, and the creator deleted it, so a new one was created, that has since come to be the mhas that exists today. the jokes seemed harmless at first, we were all just kids joking around, but we cared about eachother, and thought that we were all friends
in may, nat ( @retrorowena ) left the gc for a mental break, and as soon as she was gone they began making fun of her art work that she had spent hours on, bashing her threads, saying she wanted attention, etc. while at the same time publicly still appearing to be her friend
i was still in the group, and after asking nat’s permission to do, sent her screenshots of what was being said. (most of the people talking have since apologized, and we have since made our peace, but just to show the energy that was there)
there was mentions of a seperate gossip groupchat (right away a giant red flag) which i was not a part of, not aware existed prior to all of this, and it was soon pieced together that i was the one who had shown nat what was being said. i was removed immediatley, then dms started
public posts were also made about me. upon seeing them and knowing i was upset, a few of my mutuals stood up for me. there were some posts made that were deleted since. when they tried to privately discuss it, they were publicly made fun of for it
because i chose to defend my friend and not rip her apart like everyone else at the time was, i was made a target by them. i was told i would be ended, and once i realized i was feeding in to it, i stopped replying and thought it was done with.
a few days ago the tweet surfaced about jensen and misha revolving racism, and me, along with a large majority of the fandom, were disappointed and called them out for it. i myself did not directly tweet, because i felt ashamed of their actions and don’t have the right words.
i did however like and retweet multiple tweets of others showing their disapproval, and genuinely was and still do remain upset with what has happened. they need to apologize, and no i haven’t forgotten it. however, spreading hate isn’t the way handle being upset.
last night, there were two threads made, and in them many of my friends were mentioned, being categorized as hypocrites. this resulted in them getting hate messages, even as much as death threats. when this was drawn to the creators attention, these were replies.
it was essentially implied that because someone had acknowledged the mistakes their faves have made, but didn’t completely unstan them, they deserved the hate they were recieving. (one of the threads has been since deleted, and the creator has said that was never the intentions)
some of the people who were called hypocrites were asian themselves, and several others have added to say that the hate isn’t benefiting any. ( i am aware they do not represent all asians, and everyone is entitled to feel how they do about the situation) but hate isn’t the answer
the main source of hate through this all has been by members of mhas. there even were comments made regarding homelessness, which when attention was brought to was basically pushed to the side by members. (some apologizes have once again since been made)
i made a tweet calling them out for it, which got their attention (and many others since) and things then turned to be on me. i have dealt with them before, and the truth is that yes, the majority of mhas are 14-17 years old, who don’t realize their actions have consequences
the point of this thread never was to spread more hate, but instead to bring attention to this group, what is happening. what has happened with jensen and misha still is inexcusable, but to publicly hate people for being eccited to see their faves for the first time in months ??
for anyone who hasn’t pieced it together yet, here are the @‘s. if you choose to ignore this all, go ahead, to each their own, but we are supposed to be a family, and bringing others down is seriously deteriorating to ones mental health. lives are too fragile for this.
if anyone has been affected by this, no matter who you are or whether or not you even knew i exist prior to now, do not hesitate to message me. if any of your tweets have been included that you want removed, also please let me know. i want this to be a safe place for everyone.
and finally, if anyone has anything to add, let me know and i’ll do so for you. every single person is welcome to have their own opinions, and whether you agree or not, learn to do so in a respectable fashion. stan twitter can be toxic, but don’t let it control you.
