People love to push the narrative about how well connected c and f are but really Hudson knows/is known by all these ppl too, sometimes first. Hudson hangs out with people from the cast of Industry and then F and C become friends with them and their fans make a big deal over it, Nia Da Costa talks about Hudson then Connor works with her and his fans make a big deal over it, Hudson becomes friends with that Dante DJ guy and gets invited to baz luhrmans bar and Connor then goes too and goes to lunch with Baz after and his fans make a big deal over it, Gracie abrahms phones into hudsons shut up Evan podcast episode and then she is seen interacting with Connor (prior to casting announcement) and his fans make a big deal of it.

Not to mention Francois approaching designers he's worn or show runners approaching hudson to guest star in the same things as others in the cast are.

I just find it funny how hyped up the fandom gets about the others meeting and working with ppl like it's proof of their teams doing something better than Hudson's when it's people who Hudson knows or who have mentioned him too and has likely spoken with as well. Like Hollywood is actually quite small at a certain level idk why people underestimate his networking abilities or his team at CAA.

Wow I didn't even realize this until you laid it out so clearly anon! Because you're right that these people have met and/or talked about Hudson but of course it doesn't get the same reaction compared to the other two.

They underestimate Hudson's abilities because they're convinced that it's Connor who needs to rein Hudson in and show him how to act in a room of professionals 😒. Hudson only knows how to be a "chaos monster" while Mr. Classy has to show him the ropes. That's the narrative that they've been telling themselves so of course they don't think that Hudson can manage just fine on his own (which we have so much proof of). Even before signing with CAA, just seeing how connected he was to Vancouver's indie film scene, the community he built, and how fondly the supporting cast of HR talked about him, it was always clear that Hudson knows how to connect with people. He's charming, charismatic, funny, humble, and cares so deeply about his craft that it's not surprising at all that him and his team are making connections. And they don't need to blast those connections for PR either.

[hudsonsolo]

This Luca thing just adds to weight to the idea that other ppl on the cast are much more public with who they're talking to than Hudson, which makes the Hudson wants to famous narrative again fall flat.

Like C has been conveniently spotted talking to Luca, Jason Blum, Baz Luhrman and I think someone else, I forget who. he's always photographed and there's always articles about it, like saying he could be the directors new muse etc. it's a pr strategy definitely.

Whereas Hudson is clearly having these meetings privately. I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised about who he ends up working with in the future.

Yup from the way him and his team moved it's been pretty clear that Hudson isn't one to broadcast everything. Remember when we were wondering where he went in December only for him to pop out and have an insane run from January to March of so many events. I've always said this and I will keep saying this, that him and his team are so smart and they've made such strategic moves. And a lot of that is because they work so privately.

Which is why it pisses me off sometimes when people are like "what is his team doing", especially with things from the smear campaign. People need to realize that just because we're not privy to everything happening with his team, that doesn't mean they aren't working. They know what they're doing which is why they're being paid to do their job.

I can't wait to see how his career unfolds! That interview was truly loaded with a heavy dose of hudkarma 🙂‍↕️.

welcome to the hudverse pick your hudsona

Thinking about how fans had a more negative reaction to Hudson telling them to stop with the RFPing than they did to Connor’s questionable SoundCloud account.

This fandom’s priorities are insane.

[wtf-is-hockey]

The who is more favored discourse is silly because it’s clear. It’s the ingenue, the “a star is born,” the couples dressing it boy. The language phenom, the little boy who made it out of Texas, the enigma, the polyglot. The director secretly making edgy horror films (and covered in gq for it. Mind you it’s two whole films on his youtube.)

I checked myself and looked back at their gq hype article from December because I remember that being one of the first times I noticed what was published seemed to follow a certain bias. I thought i was just noticing because I felt more drawn to one over the other in a way that made me feel like I might not be being totally impartial. But nah. Reading it again and seeing the bio part of the article where it’s Hudson’s 3 paragraphs to Connor’s TEN I’m like, yep. Not imagining it. One cut his own path and went to ~France~ and loves his white trash hometown (his words) while the other has an ugly sweater vest and a series of concussions and anxiety and went the “traditional route” to get into acting.

Anyway. I made myself mad writing this but I feel slightly edified that I’m not just making this shit up.

Oh and Hudson was sighted in New York after a little while not popping up. I hope he’s having a swell time and staying the fuck off of twitter.

This is what I meant by the press favoring him and really it is just not even up for debate at all who the press favors.

The fact that Connor got a piece written about his two shorts meanwhile has anybody written anything about all of the shorts Hudson has been in, that he's submitted to film festivals, that he's now won awards for? Anybody written about him judging one of the same film festivals he's been participating in? I know that was recent, but that's a big deal. Like, Has any press talked about his shorts at any length at all? There are so many, and he's still doing them, and some of them are widely beloved in the fandom now and have gotten way more attention than Connor's.

I'm not saying that even to imply anything about the quality of Connor's, since I haven't seen them and don't know what I think of them and don't at all believe that just because something is more popular that it's better - but the point is, out of the two of them, which one does it make more sense to write up a piece on their shorts? Hudson, no contest. And yet, Connor got the piece about his shorts.

And I have never read that GQ article but mother of God what the fuck.

Also yes I hope Hudson is doing whatever he wants on earth and I hope twitter blows up.

this white nigga was on nazi soundcloud as their number 1 listener you just have to lauvh

[afropessimisst]

asian man getting hate crimed with a swastika drawn on him: ‘he’s literally a nazi!!! how can he be a victim of racism when he’s half white!! he needs to apologize for other people drawing that on him!!! wasians can never take accountability!!!! stalking him and all his friends is totally ok so we can find out his real character!! we’re gonna pay someone to fake rape allegations so we can finally get him cancelled!’

white man listening to nazi speeches to a techno beat: ‘he was doing it to educate himself!!! you can’t harass a queer man like this it’s homophobia!! why are you stalking his account that’s weird!!’

[hudkarma]

Harper’s Bazaar really is Hudson down

[afropessimisst]

‘i’m not chronically online’ >owns finsta linked to soundcloud where he’s streaming 4chan level antisemitic musis

>deletes insta once people find out

white people have such audacity

[wtf-is-hockey]

I bet you lots of this I will not stalked this mans SoundCloud because I don’t care are the same people that dig so hard they ended up getting to Hudsons high school friends social media because they just need to know and corroborate all the information.

I hate the double standards but what I hate the most is how minorities are always used as scape coats. They don’t care about us, our opinions or our suffering if it can’t be exploit to prove their point.

It’s dangerous to run on absolutes and ignorance, don’t but your blind faith on people you don’t even know. I don’t think C is the worst but I do believe he has cuestionable taste.

At this point the fandom's response to this is in competition with the news itself for what's more infuriating. The fandom response feels more personal, honestly. I don't know Connor. He's some random guy. This news offends me but he's a celebrity and I already didn't care about him as much as I once did before this, so it just doesn't feel especially different from learning any random celebrity is racist.

But with the fandom, it's like, I saw how so many of these blogs responded to Hudson and I can compare it directly to how they're responding now. It feels a lot closer to home, and a lot more personal. I'm seeing people who spoke for days about Hudson's swastika pic not even mentioning Connor's social media. I'm seeing blogs that demanded accountability from Hudson outright dismiss this, saying it's nothing. Others denying it, even more trivializing it, mocking the very idea of taking it seriously - it is all so disgusting, and it just makes me really sick.

Then out of the few people actually talking about it and taking it seriously, they're almost all poc, and half of them aren't even being especially critical. Like even in this ask, I'm taken aback, I can't lie. I'm amazed by your leniency, saying he's not the worst and that he has questionable taste. I'm not criticizing you or telling you how to feel - I'm just impressed because I can only imagine that if I was witnessing this as a poc, I'd be far less forgiving. I think you have a right to be so much harsher than you're being. I think he deserves far worse criticism. And then, out of those that are being more critical, they aren't being listened to anyway.

It is all so unbelievably unfair, and I feel so helpless, because nothing can be done. Nobody can be forced to care about this, so we just have to sit here and watch people not care.

[afropessimisst]

he’s a russiaboo, dads a homophobic republican, family’s zionist, best friend is planning cute isreali fits, bro wears skinned foxes as a purse, listens to hitler speeches on soundcloud, has kkk hoods saved on his pinterest, but we’re supposed to give him the benefit of the doubt and instead bully the asian man that got a hate symbol drawn on him by a white person

[spite-and-waffles]

Apparently if someone drew a swastika on your forehead in the dark when you were a teenager it means you're racist and an IG account someone dug up that nobody can prove is yours has a racial slur you're a racist, but if you take a steaming shit on traumatized Tourretic people on fucking SNL, or your public confirmed SoundCloud from adult life has liked songs that has Hitler speeches and Neo Nazi dogwhistles and bands called "Sunny Holocaust", everybody insists that it's all just edgy jokes and you were just being "ironic".

Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahaha.

[wtf-is-hockey]

There are pictures of white poeple with those symbols at that same party don’t be obtuse. Again NEITHER of them deserve this harassment. You are self admittedly deeply mentally ill and unhealthily attached to Hudson. Maybe JUST MAYBE you are another one of the parasocial freaks who help cultivate this type of environment where people are diving into the lives of random actors to try and cancel them and then posting about it like a 72hr news cycle. Shame on you, ppl like you are the problem.

There were pictures of white people with Nazi symbols at DIFFERENT end-of-year t-shirt signing parties. The years for the pictures are DIFFERENT and racists intentionally presented them as being at the same party to fool idiots like you!

Nevermind that MULTIPLE poc he went to school with have come forward on social media with their full ass legal names out to state not only that Hudson didn’t know that happened to him but that the same thing happened to them and that white people at that party were intentionally targeting poc to draw swastikas on.

I cannot fucking believe you supposedly think neither of them deserve harassment when one is a poc who was hate crimed as a minor almost ten fucking years ago and the other’s internet footprint is filled with Nazi shit starting as recently as three months ago and going back fucking years!

You are fucking racist. That’s it. You are a racist who is capitalizing on how a poc’s hate crime was smeared to absolve a white man of having a long and thorough history of consuming nazi art.

And I cannot fucking believe you expect me to take you seriously when you call me parasocial. I have not read or watched one single interview in full. I have not watched well over majority of Hudson’s shorts. I do not follow him or any Hudson update accounts on any social media. Just this week an anon started talking to me about his private Instagram and I didn’t even fucking know he had a private Instagram. I am not unhealthily attached to Hudson in a problematic or harmful way. I have been alarmed in my own interest in him simply as it pertains to myself and what it suggests about my own mental state, not what is suggests about how I view Hudson or how I behave as a result of being his fan because my behavior as his fan is actually very ordinary and inconsequential. I reblog pictures of him and I talk about him. That’s literally fucking it.

And you don’t get to accuse me of cultivating fucking anything when you’re in my inbox doing exactly the same one single thing I’ve done, which is talk about it.

[recenterhudmilan]

So for something done to him Hudson had articles on his head the same day and every social media was on fire like he was trending here for days and now it's fucking crickets everywhere?? Did I think he would get "cancelled"? Absolutely not but not even a little heat? I knew it but I'm still baffled at the difference in treatment and you want me to believe Hudson benefits from so much white and straight privilege versus his costars it's ridiculous because we all know if it was his soundcloud there would be no coming back from this for him. And the conhuds laughing about cannibalism and unit 731 are going to hell, joking about them in any way is insane what they did is nauseating and maybe the worst things done to humans in living memory. His rebrand worked wonders just like Japan, sunshine and anime brainwashed people.

[hudsonsolo]

it's interesting to me how everything and i mean everything they've accused of H and everyone around him of seems to be related back to C and his people like wtf genuinely, double standards is crazy.

H's Gf having Maga relatives = she's maga and him too they're both racists

C's relatives are maga but it's not his fault

Baileys recent pinterest bs not even taking flight before you all swept it under the rug but sophie was getting dragged on twitter for a similar issue (i fully believe if she were close with connor, we would've not heard a damn thing it would've been case closed like B)

Cornrow pics unveiled so they unearthed a braid pics for H so they both can get dragged (honestly this fandom is safe for no one bro)

Letterboxd gate, ig gate, n*azigate (you have to laugh sometimes truly how many times now) leads us to C's recent controversy, like I'm i tripping or everything seems to be linking, as if they wanted hudsons controversies to eclipse connors inevitable ones, cos all of C's stuff is public unlike H's which were dug up from god knows where (and him being minor unlike other folks) or straight up were not not his, i dunno if I'm even making sense but the double standards is truly insane regardless.

Oh last point ppl kept saying oh H's fanbase is rabid and will reflect poorly on him in the future, but whose fanbase is notoriously racist (not H), whose fought rosé (of all ppl, they have a death wish), fans which led to tiffany &co turning off comments, and whose fought journalists (neither deserved it but my god as a black woman seeing another black woman get racist attacks was horrible to see and that french journalist still kept writing about H despite what they put her through aswell) like pls enough is enough. Listen at the end of the day my concern is just that HR will end but his rancid fanbase will follow him, and as we've seen they will go after anyone (even ksenia, like leave my girl alone, don't even get me started on H's team esp aika), but his future costars could be affected like looking at his upcoming films there's multiple pocs and as we've seen it's not safe zone for no one and honestly good luck to him, bcos if he wants to keep quiet whilst have these racist ppl behind him, it's not good optics (everyone's fav saying btw) as they say.

"Every accusation is a confession". How many times have I said those words on this blog. Because that's literally what's always been at play here. Some of them had even said that Hudson would have been on to bully Connor in high school and be homophobic towards him but now it's more likely that Hudson would have been the one bullied by him. Every single accusation has been a confession.

He has this fanbase because he enabled it. So I can't say I care about how his rancid fanbase impacts him. I do feel sorry for any non-white actor that will work with him in the future. Let alone a non-white actor that might be his co-lead. Those are the only people worth wishing luck to.

[recenterhudmilan]

Wait just learned so much against my will again but he's a fanboy of Luca Magnota enough to allegedly have a tattoo of him?? The man who's victim is famously Asian? And liking songs about unit 731?? OH 🫩 And watch this actual nazi/russiaboo shit not break containment the way the picture did when that is a grown man liking these on a public account not a minor having things done TO him. Are TMZ and others going to run this? I would bet my left nut the usual suspects won't say anything and you just have to laugh at that point.

[chevelleneech]

I am sick and tired of every section of HR fandom using Hudson as scapegoat for everything that happens in this fandom. Concois shippers blame him for everything. Francois' fans blame him for everything. Connor's fans blame him for everything. Hudcon shippers also blame him for a lot of things. Even some of Hudson's own fans blame him for him getting hate and them having to defend him when he was receiving those unwarranted hate from like December when he literally did nothing.

One thing I dislike most about Hudson’s fans, is the desire to believe saying nothing will stop the hatred he receives.

This situation is a prime example of that being false. Hudson is not involved in any aspect of this issue, yet racist fans still found a way to turn it into his wrong doing. Hell, Connor isn’t even involved in this situation for real, yet somehow he’s the victim?

I think it all the time, but the whole, “Stop commenting on Connor’s “controversies” because it’ll only come back to hurt Hudson!” and “If y’all wouldn’t have said anything, Hudson wouldn’t be getting hate!” is just unequivocally false. Hudson gets hate, because a portion of this fandom is racist and do not like him because they are racist.

Connor could trip up a stair, and if someone with a Hudson profile picture retweeted it and said. “damn, he clumsy like me” there is a very high chance some of his fans will swarm and claim it as hateful, then go find something about Hudson’s cousin’s uncle’s grandfather to post and spread as something horrible Hudson looked at once and didn’t denounce. I guarantee right now, in fact, even though again, Hudson has absolutely nothing to do with this situation, there are racist Connor stans preparing their next smear attempt.

Will it be the “no homo” comment or something else? We don’t know. Will it finally be their fabricated accusation that he sexually assaulted someone? We don’t know, but we do know it’ll be a result of Connor’s non-famous, aspiring actress bestie getting spotlighted for her own or at least assumed actions.

So what I need these overly optimistic Hudson fans to tell me, is how is one meant to combat such behavior? It can’t go ignored, because racist fans will amplify it and turn any aspect of it into something exceptionally horrid, leading to non-fans believing the absolute worst. Yet it also can’t be defended, because any traction pushes it more viral leading to media outlets writing about it and even more people viewing his fans as braindead girlies who just want to suck his dick.

And I reiterate, it is because racist fans hate him. It is because people hate that he is neither openly queer nor has he identified as straight anywhere anyone can find. It’s literally just people being upset that the Asian (half Asian at that, he is half white and they still hate his ass) Guy gained global fame and isn’t scrounging for attention. And they hate he’s doing it while not being queer in a way they can identify or dictate. He’s currently just unknown, and it’s driving people insane.

I say it all the time, but it’s almost mythological the way all of this drama and hatred stems directly from Hudson being an unlabeled biracial dude, who shot to stardom alongside a white man, and dared be happy about it.
