@WeirdoX0X I am very disappointed in Tyler and Josh and how carelessly they handled the platform tweet situation. Regardless of the intent behind the original post, they never genuinely owned up to the harm that was caused by Tyler’s posts, and it took A MONTH for Tyler to even take them down without a sincere apology. Their lack of active support for their Black, queer, and otherwise marginalized fans (especially after fans have begged them to use their platforms for something beyond increasing their own personal wealth and only promoting causes they can personally relate to) has become a pattern that makes me distrust their character. I personally try not to support celebrities who abuse their power, and I’m not going to give money or clout to someone who’s causing pain and suffering to others without even trying to take accountability or educate themselves about the experiences of people who are less privileged than they are. People are dying every day because of the bodies they were born in, who they love, their lack of access to food and shelter, and so many other things that Tyler and Josh could absolutely speak about without even having to step out from underneath the umbrella of mental health education. They just choose not to. You’re welcome to disagree, and I’m not going to argue with anyone, but I personally am not going to keep contributing to their fandom when this is how they choose to utilize the platform we gave them.
