✨Me n ethan decided to be pretty bitches today✨

I’ve had some time to think about the race issue that’s going on in our fandom, and I’ve spoken up about it a few times already, but I just wanna say a few more things about it. Ethan’s tweet? That was some absolute bullshit. It didn’t do shit for this issue. If anything, it was insulting. It was insulting because it belittles the issue, it doesn't acknowledge the inequality that POCs get (in this fandom and just in general), and it’s so far from the truth. End of the day, we’re all fucking different, and that’s okay. That's what we thrive for. Why the hell would we want to be the same? Originality is what we strive for, it’s what has people getting out of bed in the morning everyday and giving them a reason to keep going, to keep living. Also, their actions, or lack thereof, are becoming ignorant, period. It’s fucking ignorant for them to shy away from discussing this issue. They themselves say that they want to use their platform for good, to use their voice to raise awareness about issues that they feel are important. So essentially, if they don't speak up about it, they're indirectly stating that the race issue isn’t important enough for their time and attention. And that's such a shitty thing to do. It’d be inexcusable. I understand that they prefer to be drama-free, but continuing to ignore this issue isn't being drama-free, it’s being ignorant and idiotic. They have the voice, they need to use their voice. They have said that there are so many people with influence that are taking this generation down the wrong path, so why not be the people they claim they want to be and lead the generation in the right path?

The amount of people that unfollowed after Ethan’s tweet. Good riddance bitches ✌

Please explain it to me I don’t understand.
