There was so much online sexual harassment that Willow faced when she was growing up from that photo of her and her male friend on the bed, to when she was allowed to make drastic appearance changes for such a to her being able to articulate her sexuality when she was young 1/

That specifically targeted her Black girlhood. The social media landscape has drastically changed within just a short amount of time, but I constantly saw jokes and disturbing comments. 2/

Yes, there were certainly Black girls and women and queer folx that defended her and Jaden, but those weren't the dominant voices and opinions of the time. 3/

It feels weird to have these intense feelings about her comments when she's only nineteen and she's only now beginning to parse through a lot of what happened during that time. 4/
