tw // body shaming, suicide, death threats

okay with everything that is happening rn i just feel that i have to let this out. first of all, i'm not a supporter of tom felton, he's disappointed me so much by not speaking up about transphobia, but that isn't why i made the thread-

this started out quite a bit when hptwt suddenly spread the word that tom felton is a transphobe. i was never a fan from the first place, so i wasn't affected by this but many were and they were heavily affected. being a fan of someone can really be a big part of your life-

so with the word going around, his fans were heavily disappointed. okay, back to the story: people started making fun of tom felton. at first the mocking was mild, then it slowly got worst. people called him smelly, mocked his hairline, shamed his appearance; and i don't think-

people really thought much about what they were tweeting; these "funny" words that was funny at a glance, but harmful for those who have gone through body shaming. i have been a victim of bullying and body shaming for most of my preteen years. i suffered from-

terrible acne (i still do), had bad body odor due to puberty, and i wasn't the fittest person. my friends and family started shaming me, bullying me, calling me names in front of my face they thought i didn't knew were about me but i secretly did. on rare occasions, some even-

wished me dead. i became very suicidal. i contemplated my life everyday, i tried to convince myself to go on, i tried to look happy. it was a dark past for me. i am grateful that i am much better today. but seeing all of your insensitive tweets, the ones shaming people-

just because you hate them, making up things when u dont even know they're true. they really affect people who're going through or has gone through it like me. please stop body shaming. everyone preaches self-love and anti body shaming but most people are hypocritical.

everyone has done bad things and you would probably hate yourself even more if people shamed you and made up things about you just bcs they dont like you. please, i've been through that.

im not asking you to forgive him, no that's not what im saying. but i am asking you to STOP SHAMING HIM AND MAKING FUN OF HIS APPEARANCE. IT'S NOT FUNNY. WHAT YOU CAN DO, IS HELP THE VOICE OF THE TRANS COMMUNITY TO BE HEARD. INSTEAD OF MAKING FUN OF HIM OR CALLING HIM NAMES-

EDUCATE HIM IN THE COMMENTS. SPAM HIM WITH IT. AND HOPE THAT ONE DAY HE REALIZES WHAT DAMAGE HE HAS DONE TO THE TRANS COMMUNITY. you have a voice in the internet, use it wisely

tw // rape, grooming
you can see what happened today. false accusations were made just bcs someone didn't like him. first it started off mild, then came the shaming and the bullying, and now this. it gets worst. so please, stop the shaming, stop the bullying. just educate

don't harm other people who have nothing to do with him. it's him you're trying to get the attention of, not the victims of bullying, shaming, grooming, and rape. ive seen people on my tl responding to these false allegations so badly, they were literally SHAKING,

they even had to take a break from social media! so please, THINK before you tweet something. USE YOUR HEAD before you do anything ever. BE WISE. in the internet, everything is possible. dont just believe whatever you see. make sure it's the truth and don't speak up-

before you're sure. i might get cancelled for this, people might hate me for this. but what matters is the mental health of our community.

finally, this goes for everyone else and not just tom. you should never shame, bully, and attack someone just because you don't like them. do not be blinded by ur feelings. be wise.
