I really really don’t understand people who are still obsessed with and fangirling over musicians and celebrities who have just completely fucking ignored the literal genocide going on and refused to use their platforms to do the bare fucking minimum of calling for a ceasefire. Like honestly?!? How can you possibly respect let alone adore someone so privileged and selfish that they would rather willfully ignore the suffering and massacre and fucking genocide of tens of thousands of people than speak up. And don’t give me the ‘oh they’re worried about career repercussions’ bullshit. That’s not a fucking excuse to be a shitty ignorant selfish vapid uncaring person. Fuck all the way off, most of these celebrities and athletes have enough money they can do what the fuck they want. And even if they don’t? Well it’s not solidarity if you don’t have something to lose.
so yeah, you bet I sure fucking lost all respect for all musicians I previously idolized. Because silence during a genocide is complicity and that is despicable
but I just truly cannot understand the people in fandom spaces who don’t care that their idols are shallow self-serving and complicit in genocide through their willful and intentional silence. How the fuck can you all support and spend ridiculous amounts of money on concert tickets and merch and drawing and writing fan art and fanfics? How the fuck can you respect these people?????
to be clear, I’m not saying people can’t enjoy fandom spaces. I’m just questioning how the fuck people still respect these bullshit celebrities enough to want to spend money and time on them when they are obviously okay being complicit in genocide. like isn’t that a major fucking turnoff for people??!?
