Seing the Sheendom / Good Omens fandom dividing like this really breaks my heart. Especially that there is no actual reason for this to happen. Please read this Thread to understand why I say that:

Basically this is the main problem here. On both side. Miscommunication.

When you put those two tweet side by side it actually become so clear:

Initially, the person wanted to talk about a subject that matters to them and which IS important but they did it in a way that sounded a bit rude (even though they didn’t mean it to be)

On the other end Michael, who seems to be going through a hard time right now, only saw the rudeness in this tweet and blocked the user. He didn’t do it bc of the blm content like he clarified later.

Now I also understand the reaction of the person who has been blocked, I would’ve been shocked as well, not sure of why he would block me.

I would also understand if they are angry that Michael took their comment as rude when it wasn’t intended to be. But the way your message is perceived is actually not something you can 100% control sadly

Still was it an over-reaction to block? I honestly can’t tell bc like he said we don’t know everything and maybe he’s going through hard times rn and blocking people who appear to him to be mean is his way to cope with all that.

In the end, I’m afraid we are all humans and even though it’s hard to admit, Michael is too. We all have bad days when everything sounds like an insult and we all have our ways of reacting to it. Sometimes we are even unfair and mean. He is no different.

I understand people who feel disappointed but be disappointed because he didn’t reacted properly in a bad time.
Don’t be disappointed bc he doesn’t support blm bc he DOES like this tweet proves: https://twitter.com/sasha2deep/status/1320085392666886144

In conclusion, don’t argue and tear each other apart on a misunderstanding! Don’t insult either Michael or the person who commented on his tweet! Try to understand each side and why this happened!

Let’s all work together to make this place safe again for everyone. I know we can do it, that’s all we ever did.
I’m once again sending all my love and support for the people who need it
