the whole tyler shit that went down yesterday still don’t sit quite right with me. he apologized for his shitty “joke” but it seemed kinda,,, forced. it’s not my apology to accept anyways. but something about it sounded real guilt-trippy. i don’t like his attitude at all :/
like YES SUIC!DE PREVENTION IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, but the way he went about it wasn’t good. idk if i misunderstood but at first those tweets didn’t sound like he was talking about awareness, it sounded like he was gonna do it, which ended up putting a lot of people in distress
and maybe him saying he was “using his platforms
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤪" title="Zany face" aria-label="Emoji: Zany face">” was his was his shitty was of announcing it but like,,, it really seems like he was mocking the whole ass clique for saying “hey you haven’t been actively anti-racist, what’s up with that. say somethin”
and on top of that all he added was a single carrd link ??? dude i’ve lost track of how many petitions i’ve signed and how many times i’ve posted resource after resource to my insta. he’s done ONE (1) LINK that apparently was last updated in june or something
his apology is real iffy and i really hope somewhere in his stupid little white boy brain he meant to apologize truly and is just bein a moody dick at the moment or something. but even then you shouldn’t feel like it’s a fuckin chore to support BLM ??
i really loved this band and they were a big part of my life for years. for fucks sake i wore a tyler joseph skeleton dog tag and necklace for YEARS. I WROTE |-/ ON EVERYTHING I OWNED. I WORE THE STRESSED OUT BACKPACK EVERY DAY UNTIL IT RIPPED.
this dude doesn’t feel like the same one i idolized when i was 14. i truly truly hope he uses his platform. like actually. if not it’s gonna be real hard to let go of this band, even if i thought i outgrew them years ago. i already let go of brendon urie plz don’t be next tyler
this thread is way too long i’m just ranting on how i felt yucky about what recently happened with him. if things don’t shape up soon i’m gonna have to drop them :(
