I never saw your post bc I was actually referring to tweets that I saw, not tumblr posts 😭😭 though as I said you’re perfectly entitled to your opinion and I actually respect yours more BECAUSE you’re also an arab fan/palestinian, which I believe are the voices that actually matter in the conversation. I simply didn’t like seeing a bunch of white swifties on twitter get viral tweets about “can now all the fans bitching for Taylor to speak shut the fuck up” (when on twitter it has LARGELY been white fans vs poc fans on this matter, I had instances of ppl being racist to me over it) because a.) I feel like that shouldn’t be the first thing people think of, nor b.) do I think it’s fair to dunk on people that were having a perfectly valid conversation about how they felt when the person they dedicate time to was one of the only ones that didn’t speak (and automatically assuming they didn’t care for her safety, or even assuming that they were saying she HAD to. I just think the disappointment was okay for people to express). I’m sorry if you felt subposted or called out when I wasn’t referring to you! 🤍
thank you for your message and clarifying, i really appreciate it! and i'm sorry for coming onto your post a little too hot. this is a conversation i've been on the end of too many times here the past few months and my fuses are very short atm. but really, sorry for kinda taking it out on you.
i don't disagree that the white fans on twitter deserve to be called out. most of the twitter fandom needs a wake up call imo. and i don't disagree with the disappointment either, i think it's valid and real and i've also felt it myself. i wish she would say something! on the purely emotional level, i really do. my stance though has shifted very strongly towards "no, not speaking is the right call" because of things like this. the constant stalking, threats, the southport stabbing, THIS news. i genuinely do not want her or any fans to be put in danger because of this. and honestly, it's also bc the truth is she would not have the impact the fandom seems to think she would. i say this from my lived experience IN Palestine guys - nothing western celebrities say or do has any impact on our material reality. it's not that simple.
anyways, i digress. it shouldn't be the first thing people think of, i agree with you fully. and i'm very sorry other fans have been racist towards you on twitter bc of this. thank you for reaching out. it's very kind and respectful and i appreciate it. it's so rare to actually hash out misunderstandings on this website! sorry again for my response also.
