dream also says the r word - a thread

i’m dreading making this, because i don’t like getting into drama. but frankly i think this needs to be said and people should know these things about the people they stan.

i first wanted to say that i have aspergers. i personally struggle with the r slur. back in february, a bunch of drama surrounding a6d and the r slur came out, and dream took it upon himself to defend a6d for his use of the word. i took it upon myself to message dream

kindly, to try and educate him. i shared with him my personal struggles with the word and how it deeply affected me. he continued to say he was so sorry about what had happened to me, and that he thought those people were cruel. and he said that he wouldn’t say the word

infront of his young and impressionable audience. however, he stated that he does indeed use this word in private with close friends who he knows won’t be offended by the word. at the time i got this message, i was in school and dealing with a lot, so i didn’t want to

argue with him. i personally thought i could do everything i could with trying to tell him what the word meant to me. i see i could’ve done more, but something about “educating” a6d when dream himself isn’t (or wasn’t) educated on the r slur doesn’t sit right with me.

dreams statement to me seems like more of a statement of forgiveness rather than a statement of him trying to educate a6d. i truly apologize to dream for saying all this, but people deserve to know where the people they stan stand on certain issues, including the r slur

i tried to tell dream that if he needed someone who had aspergers or autism to try and explain things, that i was there. but personally, i felt like it was dismissed. i try to be as calm and kind as i can. i personally am hurt by the fact that dream does use this

hurtful slur. i think his fandom should know this too. i don’t hate dream, but i think he needs to understand that he needs to be educated too. i don’t go on twitter anymore but i saw this and i just... it’s been in the back of my mind for MONTHS. he may have changed

his views, however, im not so sure he has. in the following tweets will be screenshots and screen recordings. i please ask you to not hate on dream, but try and educate him. the intention of this is not hate, but just to let people know who they really are stanning.

here’s the screenshots (part one) (the crosses out message is just my full name, i don’t want people really knowing that here)
(10/13)
screenshots (part two)

here is a screen recording to show its real.

to end this, PLEASE do not send anyone hate. but also do not defend dream unless you are disabled. and please do not send hate to me, as i’m just sharing this for the sake of information. dream, i’m sorry, but in my heart i felt as if your audience needed to know.

message me with any questions. i know i shouldve tried to further educate him, but i was in school and tired and just couldn’t handle it at the time. but maybe we can collectively try and educate him together :).
