The thing with Evans being married (tbc properly) isn’t that people are crying over losing their fave. It’s really weird how people are actively overlooking the fact that his new spouse is friends with people who fatphobic, and make racist and antisemetic comments. The evidence is literally all over social media. And if you align yourself with those sorts of people, even if they think they’re being edgy which means absolutely fuck all because it’s still vile, then you are complicit to their behaviour. Take responsibility for your friends and your circle, they are a reflection of you.
Fans of Captain fucking America, have every right to be upset in this context. It’s genuinely irritating to see it all overlooked for posts about ‘he was never gonna date you’ etc.
Are you responsible for what your friends said and did ten years ago? Is your partner responsible for it, too? Are you completely unproblematic? Have you never said anything hurtful, in jest or in anger? Has anyone in your family? Have any of your friends? What about their friends? Your partner’s friends? Your partner’s friends friends? Would you end a relationship because one of your partner’s friends said a bad thing on social media ten years ago?
You are clutching at straws and you know it. You all know it. You all just want an excuse to hate her that makes your hate look legitimate instead of batshit crazy jealousy. And you know what? These performative posts won’t follow you forever. You’ll be forgiven for them, you will grow and learn, and someone will love you anyway.
Fuckin a @captainsteveamericarogers
This isn’t just calling someone a name and then moving on though. We’re dealing with people being literal racists and antisemites. I can say for an absolute fact I have never been friends with nor had anyone in my personal life be either of those things. The fact is, birds of a feather flock together. If my friends did shit like that, I would absolutely hold them accountable and that shit would be deleted from the internet. There would be no trace of it because you make up for your errors.
People are entitled to feel a certain way, especially if they fall within a demographic who experience either of those issues. I personally don’t give a shit about hating her or Evans. My point was regarding the actual offensive behaviour being overlooked, but go off I guess.
@etheralchaos I know you think you and everybody you’ve ever known are super clean, but I promise you if a bunch of people scraped through every single corner of your entire Internet experience they would find something. There’s always something. we all have it. Somewhere at some point in time we said or did something that was not acceptable by today’s standards. And no, strangers who you do not know personally, who do not know you, do not owe any of us an apology or an explanation just because you’re stocking them on the Internet because you don’t like that their friend is dating your Internet boyfriend
You’re welcome to your opinions and what you think about accountability. Do I think my shit doesn’t stink? No. Do I hold myself and people in my life accountable? Absolutely. If I made a dumbass fucking comment on the internet and then learnt why I was a fucking dumbass, did I delete that shit because I changed? Absolutely. That’s the way to make sure if your friend does end up with someone in the public eye, you don’t get them pulled into online discourse.
But to each their own obviously.

This is a wild statement. You telling me you continuously scan your socials just in case your friend ends up in a relationship with a famous person whos internet fandom will stalk any person in a 50mile radius to find any reason to hate on them????!?!? That right there is how I know that all of this is just performative allyship to cover up your hatred and jealousy of her that existed long before you found any of those pictures or tweet
You caught me. That is how I spend each hour of every day and it’s all because I am performative and I love simping for men from Boston.
@etheralchaos is absolutely right and everyone else under this post is unhinged. Your faves are not beyond criticism.
If you think its okay to excuse hateful speech from friends and others because 'nobody's perfect' then fine, that's great...FOR YOU!
Don't go into someone else because they don't agree with it and it doesn't align with their morals and values. Someone you do not know and are making assumptions about their life. Why don't you leave her alone and continue with your hobby of accusing others of performative allyship?
