I want to make this post to give (what I hope) is some context to how bigoted, ignorant, dangerous, and reckless the people spearheading these constant "leaks" about Hudson are. By now it seems that most people are well aware that these people are not doing this because they genuinely care about the things they are accusing Hudson of. They not "exposing" Hudson because they care about the marginalized groups they're framing him of being harmful towards. That they're racist is the sole reason for their relentless attacks against Hudson. And I say that these people are dangerous and reckless because they're doing all of this in the name of stan wars, completely ignoring how harmful it is that they're constantly exposing fans to their bigotry. And completely ignoring that they're setting up a precedence where due to their pattern of behavior, they're the reason why Hudson fans are growing more and more skeptical whenever something comes out. And this is dangerous because it seems now their next move is to frame Hudson for sexual assault. I will come back to this point later in this post, first I want to provide the aforementioned context.

After IG-gate, it became much more clear to people that weren't on hrtwt that those who hate Hudson have an active agenda against him. And with what's happened yesterday (and continues today), this agenda is becoming even more apparent. I want to provide some background as to why some of us who were on twitter since the show aired were initially skeptical about the IG account accusations against Hudson that come from those who hate him. And it goes back to this account:

For context, this account spawned in the midst of letterbox gate and its entire purpose was to create racist hate tweets about Hudson (some were so vile they were actually banned in the European countries) and rally people to engage in the hate train. After months (literally months) of organized effort from Hudson fans, we managed to finally get this account suspended permanently. But plenty of its 6k followers still remain, and despite the absolute bigotry spread by this account, those followers lament its suspension. Here are examples of the sort of tweets those who miss this account make.

This isn't even the tip of the iceberg to what kind of tweets that account was making or what its most prominent followers were saying (and continue to say) about Hudson. In February, this thread came out exposing the groupchat created by this account and its followers. This chat was filled with people espousing the same vitriolic racist hate that they were also tweeting on their public accounts. When they were aptly called racist, they acted shock and proceed to justify their racist tweets by playing the percentage game with Hudson's Asian heritage and trying to diminish that he is half Korean.

They claim to only make fun of his 'white features' meanwhile we have screenshots of the types of tweets 'dudsonender' and its followers were was making.

My whole point in showing all of this first is to show that they only hate Hudson this much because they're racist. That is the basis for all their actions. They hate that he wasn't regulated to being just a nobody stuck in Canada, constantly praying and hoping that he would be a "khia" whose 15 minutes of fame would be over.

They hate that he has a supportive fanbase, and they hate that this fans will support his career. That's why they were planning to infiltrate communities and group chats of Hudson fans (I highlighted the date because this goes as far back as January. The last episode of the show aired on December 26. They were doing this barely 3 months after learning about Hudson's existence). Which is why their latest smear attempt(s) have been more so aimed at hurting Hudson's fans than Hudson himself. They want to make his fan abandon him, and if they won't, then they want it to seem like we're nothing more than homophobic straight women with "fujo brains". To give Hudson fans a "bad rep".

It was through this gc leak that we learned that people in this chat were planning to frame Hudson of, so far, everything we've seen him be accused of. They "feel" like Husdon is bad person and in the same breath they're admitting to wanting to frame him. And this is why when IG-gate happened, you had fans who were immediately skeptical. Because since February, we've been aware of what these people were discussing.

And this pattern of people "feeling" that Hudson is xyz, followed by a 'leak' that confirms their "feeling" is nothing new. I'm not saying that everyone who was in that groupchat are exactly the same ones that have been behind the most recent leaks, though there are some overlap. For example, one of the accounts who first posted screenshots of IG gate (loustatschild) also had a groupchat leak back in April where they talking about wanting Hudson to commit suicide and for his girlfriend to poising his drink.

And there's more screenshots showing accounts with large followings that are still up and still spreading hate and misinformation about Hudson either followed and/or were mutuals with dudsonender but this post is already getting too long.

The point is, the pattern in the dudsonender gc of people having a "feeling" that Hudson is a bigot is something we continue to see from others (and their entire account seem to also be dedicated to hating Hudson). Just yesterday, we got an update on the "feeling" people have had about Hudson being homophobic (mirroring those in the dudsonender gc leak who also had a similar "feeling", because they felt that Hudsons "definitely did" mock gay and lesbians kids in high school).

And like I said, the basis for these people doing all of this is that they're racist. User "starflosn" going on about "just be patient" for a video that will supposedly expose Hudson as a homophobe thought just because they changed their @ that we wouldn't remember that their racist tweets towards Hudson's Asian fans. And yet they have the audacity to preach about racism.

Note the date on the first two tweets about something coming out that will prove Hudson as a homophobe. Both were after IG-gate didn't go the way they wanted. The Friday that Hudson's Bvlgari ad dropped, this is what they had to say once they saw his engagement was still high. "Until we find some genuine dirt on Hudson...he'll continue to get away with it". And now compare that to the tweet made by one of the many burner accounts they created to post that photo of him from high school. "Looks like my work here is done" followed with a reply of someone saying "let's hope it works this time".

Some of us see all of this and people question why we're skeptics. But this brings me back to why this pattern which exposes that these people clearly having an agenda is dangerous. Today, I was sent links about this account on Threads replying to several people about rape allegations. Notice how their language mirrors the one of the accounts above who all had "feelings" that Hudson.

I hope I don't have to spell out what's dangerous about this. I hope I don't have to make it explicitly clear why it's absolutely reckless and ignorant to 1. taunt this allegation by saying "y'all not ready" and "it's gonna come just be patient" and 2. to do this after priming Hudson fans to be skeptical about information that comes from the same people that have been hating Hudson for months and have an agenda. I hope we can all understand that this person clearly does not care about rape or about survivors. Because what does this do besides actually making it worse for someone to speak out. It's not like we live in a society that already primes people to immediately dismissed survivors, accused of them of lying/fabrication, and gaslight them to hell about their accounts of assault right? I'm hoping that we can all see how vile it is to treat rape allegations like it's just gossip. Like it's just more fodder to user in stan wars.

The replies from that Threads' account are already bad on their own, it's made especially worse when talks of people paying to have Hudson accused of sexual assault has been circulating since February. The accounts that were named as the ones planning this have gone one to deny it but the damage was already done. This came out after the dudsonender gc leak showed people saying they needed to frame Hudson for "something awful" so of course people believed that plans were being made to pay to frame him for something awful.

And remember that I said those who followed dudsonender will publicly say that they miss that account and still make their own bigoted tweets. Well this Threads account was a Dudsonender follower. According to them, the same account that had a groupchat where people were conspiring to frame Hudson for something awful was the "best thing that happened on twitter".

And please pay attention to the language they're using as they talk about rape allegations. "I said months ago that he will be accused of racist and homophobia then months later he was". Well yeah he was accused (and this post shows that these are things people had "feelings" about since February) and people found those accusations had no basis. So the only thing this account was right about was the accusations being made, not that the accusations were actually true. So exactly what do they expect people to think about this new allegations that they're talking about? What does this accomplish other than show that these people, once again, have no actual regard for what they're accusing Hudson of. Who would seriously think that this person cares about survivors?

And now that they've been caught, they're trying to backtrack. Claiming that they don't want anyone to be raped and they weren't wishing Hudson any harm but were insisting people to "mark their words" and that these accusations were going to come, we just need to be patient. Right.

And this post has already gotten long enough but I want you to note how the Threads account claims to care about racism, even though they were praising Dudsonender (reminder that some of their tweets were banned in the EU). This is the same denial that we saw in the dudsonender gc leak where the people there were shocked that they were being called racists. And then promptly went on to deny that Hudson is in fact half-Asian (not 15%, not 20%, and him not speaking Korean (to their knowledge) doesn't erase the fact that he is half Korean). And this is the same as that user that was calling his Asian fans the c-slur but claiming that 'hudcels' were the racist ones. Do we see the other emerging pattern here? All these people are racist, they've said racist things, they've supported racist account, and yet they all deny the fact that they are racist. According to them, they're being racist towards Hudson because they care about racism.

i've been thinking a lot about the whole hudson williams inflammatory photo situation, about whether i want to post anything into the internet abyss, about what i can even contribute to this matter. i've decided i'm going to dump some of my thoughts because this whole thing feels a lot less like run-of-the-mill internet discourse and more like a huge, racially-motivated internet defamation campaign.

it’s disappointing to see people demand accountability from a cyberstalked celebrity for something that may very well have been racial humiliation, coercion, and/or targeting when he was a minor. and just to be clear, the symbols in the photo are absolutely offensive. i’m not disputing that. however, a huge part of the issue for me is how few people seem interested in context & how quickly a decontextualized image has been treated as definitive proof of intent, agency, and endorsement.

i’m going to try to share this without doxxing myself. i’m white. i grew up in a very white suburban neighborhood and attended a predominantly white public high school. the racist bullying in my school was so bad that a major news network made an entire documentary about it. i share the below having spent a lot of time reflecting on my own complacency as a white person & through conversations i’ve had (and still have -- the trauma fucking lingers) with long-term friends who experienced racially-motivated hate daily in our school. i know my school is not unique, which is a large part of the reason why i've decided to share this.

(i’m about to share examples, so if you don’t want to read, i've noted below where the examples end. if you're white, please sit with the discomfort & continue reading.)

in my high school, it was commonplace for students of color -- especially melanated students of color -- to be hazed, degraded, and publicly humiliated. racist harassment and acts of racial terror were normalized, and assimilation to whiteness was expected in order to maintain the school’s (and broader community's) racial hierarchy. for many students of color, belonging was conditional. social acceptance usually required minimizing experiences of racism, laughing along with racist jokes, distancing themselves from other students of color, tolerating humiliation and abuse, proving they were “not like the other [students of color],” etc.

the reward for “playing along” was limited and precarious social inclusion. the punishment was exclusion and ostracization by students and parents alike. for many of my friends and peers, assimilation to whiteness was not a desired choice -- it was survival. people of color are often taught that they must endure racism, degradation, and humiliation to gain access to spaces that white people inhabit by default.

the same weekend my school hosted its annual “diversity night,” a white jewish student drew a sw*stika on a Brown student at a party and posted it on instagram. the Brown student was suspended for three days, and the white student -- whose parents defended him like they were in court -- got away scot-free. my friends of color have repeatedly shared that they felt gaslit by our school, which proudly hosted diversity initiatives, multicultural events, and anti-bullying campaigns, yet did little to hold individual students/friend groups accountable for racist harm. instead, the students who were held accountable were often the very students of color who fell victim to this racist harm.

(examples over)

i feel like a lot of people engaging in the hudson discourse are failing to recognize how often racial humiliation functions as a social ritual that reinforces white supremacy. we now have access to a photo of a teenager who was one of the only people of color in a predominantly white social environment, surrounded by white peers, with hateful symbols drawn on his face. maybe he made terrible decisions. maybe he should have objected. maybe he felt like he couldn’t. the point is, we don't know the context. why are we so quick to dismiss the possibility that an asian teenager in a predominantly white social environment may have been the target of racial humiliation, coercion, or abuse?

i also can't help but think about the model minority myth. asian folks are often expected to navigate racism in ways that are legible to white audiences -- be respectable, agreeable, non-confrontational, respond "correctly," etc. yet racism ofc doesn't always look like open hostility, and survival doesn't always look like resistance. sometimes it looks like silence. or laughing along. or enduring humiliation because the social consequences of refusing are worse. like i said above, for many people of color, assimilation is a strategy for survival. the speed with which folks have dismissed those possibilities says a lot about how narrowly many people understand racism, victimhood, and accountability when asian people are involved.

what's clear is that people have spent months digging through his entire historical internet presence, combing through the private social media accounts of people he knew as a teenager, excavating photos that were never meant for public consumption, and distributing them online to maximize outrage. say what you will about the celebrity as a surveilled public commodity -- that's not the point i'm trying to make here. people are digging through this guy’s life with the explicit goal of finding material that can be used against him, flattening every possible interpretation of the shared image into the one that causes the maximum amount of harm. we act as though the existence of a photograph tells us everything we need to know about the circumstances under which it was taken.

a lot of people seem less interested in understanding context/what happened than they are in destroying him. and (coming from a queer jew) a lot of people are suddenly very eager to weaponize antisemitism and homophobia as "gotchas" when they've never previously demonstrated any meaningful concern for either.

The term ch*gga is a slur specifically against Asians, not black ppl. I’m sure white ppl stole it but in my life I’ve only seen it used by black ppl against Asians

Ik that Baker guy that's likely behind this is white, but if I didn't know that I would assume there's a black person behind all this who is prob pissed at Hudson and his team bc of the grillz (the timing too makes me think that , it’s right after the met gala)

The slur originated in rap culture and black people use it to insult Asians that are "too into hip-hop" (to keep it pg). Yes it derives from nigga + ch*nk, but it's a way for black ppl to mock and insult Asians that don't stay in their lane basically . It’s like saying “look at this ch*nk, he thinks he’s a nigga” , it’s mocking , insulting , derogatory

There was an Indonesian rapper that used something-ch*gga as a stage name, ppl called him out, he changed it, but from that moment on the black rap community has been using that slur against Asians they feel are appropriating black culture

Chinese or not doesn’t matter, just like ppl call Asians ch*nks regardless of their actual race. Lots of black ppl call k-pop rappers (who r usually korean, japanese, thai) ch*ggas as a slur. You wouldn't believe the amount of black ppl that called H a ch*gga BEFORE this whole bs and expected me to agree because I'm black 🤷🏿‍♂️ (back then it was just because he said "y'all")

To me it looks like that account was being racist yes... but towards Hudson. And tbh I feel towards Aika too. Bc they wore grillz at the Met gala .

(ik that grillz are historically part of Aika's culture & she's his stylist and his other stylist is black, but a lot of people prefer to play dumb and ignore all that)

The name "original duo" w another Asian in the pfp could be a shady reference to Aika and not H's actual friend in the pic w him , that was just a lucky coincidence to find a pic w H and another Asian from high school

2 days later and looking at it from every angle , to me this seems planned, coordinated and like a punishment for the grillz and using AAVE (queer ppl use AAVE all the time , which is a discussion we should have, but I feel not rn , rn ppl are pissed abt the grillz and racist haters jumped on it to try and cancel him )

When I first saw the screenshot of that account my first thought was not "omg he wrote something anti Black" it was "ah shit ppl are taking this grillz thing too seriously . throwing slurs against him now ?"

I legit thought that bio was hating on Hudson, that it was a hater account set up by black people, because that was anti Asian racism, not anti Black racism

Then I checked twitter and ppl were like "black fans are so hurt", "how could Hudson do this" and I was like uh?? Black ppl are so hurt by... an anti Asian slur used against Hudson?? And not hurt in the sense that you feel bad for him, but in the sense that now you hate him?? And nothing abt the Asian fans and H’s team too that had to see that anti Asian slur thrown around for 3 days

Anyway black hr fans are too reactionary and white hr fans on twitter are too racist and performative , they sniffed blood and went for his throat instead of using some critical thinking . And they expect us to believe they care abt racism after 6 months of racism towards HW , sure...

To me it's clear Hudson was the target here (and Aika and all the Asians that had to see that slur) and the victim. tbh even if the word was nigga and not an anti Asian slur , that account changed pfp and mocked his korean in the midst of the witch hunt? that’s enough for me to see it’s utter bs

Someone said that whoever is behind it couldn’t resist insulting HW. Just nigga would have caused more outrage , but they couldn’t help it and had to throw ch*nk in there to make sure they shaded H, his teams and all his Asian fans too and I agree ( it’s also why I immediately thought the person responsible was black )

Some of his biggest haters on twitter are black + ch*gga originated in rap culture = I assumed this was just another hater setting him up and punishing him for the grillz 🤷🏿‍♂️

But there could definitely be a white person behind it , an envious ex friend or something , who knows turning black ppl against him is a quick way to tarnish his reputation. Or maybe he was contacted by the white guys’ fans and decided to help them w the smear campaign

I have been wishing more people would acknowledge that ch*gga would exclusively be directed at Asians. I don't think that means it's not anti-Black or at least, never anti-Black (like, obviously when a non Black person uses it, it's anti-Black). I've been conflicted about how derogatory the word is meant to be as I've seen conflicting explanations from Black people and Asian people, but it is clear to me that only Asian people would be called ch*gga.

I wouldn't really say this isn't a possibility either. I mean, I think a white person could do it, and I also think part of the reason ch*gga was used and not just the n-word out right was probably in an effort to make it more believable or plausible seeming (lol) but I can see why you would make this assumption when the grillz and AAVE discourse was also happening.

HUDSON'S SOLAR RETURN CHART:

This year looks extremely transformative for Hudson, both emotionally and professionally. With a strong stellium in the eighth house, he may experience deep emotional shifts, intense personal growth, and situations that completely change the way he sees himself and his life. The eighth house is strongly connected to transformation, emotional rebirth, shared resources, and financial matters, so this year could also bring significant financial gains or opportunities involving money, investments, contracts, or support from others. Even if the year feels emotionally overwhelming at times, it has the potential to lead him toward major success and personal evolution. The Sun forms a square aspect (red line) to Uranus, which suggests sudden changes, instability, and the need to break away from old patterns. Because the aspect is so close by degree, he is truly in the middle of a major transition period. This energy can completely reshape his identity, lifestyle, career direction, or public image. Unexpected events may push him to make important decisions quickly, even if they initially feel uncomfortable or emotionally disruptive. His Moon in Capricorn in the sixth house suggests emotional pressure connected to work, responsibilities, and daily routines. He may struggle with fully expressing his emotions and could become more focused on work or productivity as a way to cope with stress. There may be changes in his working conditions, career environment, or responsibilities could become one of the reasons he decides to move out of his country or spend more time abroad. I say this because there are also strong indicators of foreign environments and relocation themes in this chart. With two planets in the ninth house (Saturn and Neptune) and Jupiter in the twelfth house, moving abroad or emotionally detaching from an old phase of life seems very possible. If he chooses to relocate, it will likely be tied to responsibilities, career obligations, or long-term growth rather than impulsive desires. He may have to engage frequently with foreign environments, international projects, or people from different cultural backgrounds throughout the year. This chart also suggests challenges connected to public perception and social dynamics. On the more difficult side, he could face criticism, harassment, or controversy involving racial differences, sexual orientation, political views, or social issues. These topics may become very visible publicly or may deeply affect his private life. If the energy is handled poorly or impulsively, there could also be legal problems. Despite these pressures, visibility and recognition are strongly highlighted this year. With his Leo rising, attention will naturally be drawn toward him. He may become more publicly visible, gain recognition, or attract greater fame and exposure. People are likely to notice him more this year, and he may feel pushed to redefine how he wants to present himself to the world. Relationships and emotional connections will also play a major role in shaping the year ahead. He may experience heartbreak, emotional endings, intense realizations, or new connections that deeply affect him on a personal level. This year encourages him to become more emotionally honest and authentic about who he truly is and how he wants to be perceived by others. Creatively and spiritually, he may become more intuitive, artistic, and emotionally expressive. At times, though, the emotional intensity and responsibilities could leave him mentally exhausted or overwhelmed. He may focus more on his physical health, exercise, going to the gym, or finding practical ways to release stress and regulate his energy.

“Immigration agents will target Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco this weekend, sources from congressional offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Miami Herald.

The New Sanctuary Coalition of NYC (https://www.newsanctuarynyc.org/get-involved) is really amazing; I’m not sure if they’ll have anything special happening this weekend, but they can always use help with their bail fund and other operations.
