There is a thread in the Kamloops subreddit where former classmates who were at the same grad party as Hudson are sharing their experiences in his defense, and corroborating that he along with others were unknowing victims of having hate symbols drawn on them as well as touching on the culture of casual racism that is prevalent in their town.

Link:

I hope it gets many eyes on it because this whole conversation has taken a nasty turn that goes beyond just Hudson. It's become a nasty tool of gaslighting POC like myself who also grew up in these rural overwhelmingly white towns constantly being the butt of or witnessing racist jokes from edgy white kids and being told that this was not common experience for us or worse that we were responsible and enthusiastic participants in this kind of nonsense.

Seems like people at that party are starting to talk. He was not the only poc that had that done to them

Well isn’t this an interesting development.

Scrolling the Hudson Williams tag like it’s a free block list whenever I see someone saying he should apologize or that he’s racist or that he deserves his career to crash and burn. Hey. You guys know you’re being racist, right? Like genuinely. You are being fucking racist while pretending to hate racism. Blaming the victim of a hate crime like it’s somehow his fault. Being gross, saying “I always knew he was bad and now I have proof!!!” like you’re on some moral high horse. While actively being racist towards an Asian man. Ok. Chew glass actually

If you are as disgusted as I am about the witch hunt against Hudson Williams, here are some things you can productively channel that energy into:

Positive engagements with his socials (those metrics will show that he's still got the fans with him)

YouTube channel - subscribe and like / leave comments on the short films

Instagram - follow and leave positive comments / likes on his posts

2. Positive engagement with the brands he's associated with (these metrics will help him find further contracts)

Don't leave stupid comments for Peloton - if you write anything, remain enthusiastic and grateful about the ad (it's likely a scheduled end, not a cancellation)

Do comment on other brands - Met look, Balenciaga, bvlgari positively

3. Positive engagement with restaurants/ clothing lines that posts about him.

Give your clicks and likes, show that he's creating momentum with the smallest things

4. Positive engagement with show of support (no matter how understated - please acknowledge those that tried to help)

Repost the CSA post from yesterday and maybe leave a like and positive comment

Repost comments from the industry that praise him for being respectful and wonderful person

Reposts positive tiktok edits, etc.

5. Boost articles that give a balanced view of the situation and draw attention to the hate campaign, but do not engage with clickbait stuff

Queerty article

Paris Match article

6. Post about his upcoming projects

Post about Yaga or Heated Rivalry S2 in a positive way.

7. Do not feed the trolls

If you see burner accounts / hateful people spreading pics, fake narratives, Hudson hate in the tags or in comments - record, report, block.

Don't give them your platform. Don't post their hateful asks. Don't post links they want you to spread around. Don't give them your engagement.

8. Don't hate on the "other side"

we don't know who is behind this, so don't go after other actors. They are not responsible for their fans' behavior.

If the fan behavior or disgusting comments means you don't want to hype them at the moment, it's fine. Mute/ignore their tags and focus on whatever sparks joy. Think about how you'd want Hudson to be treated by people who don't stan him and model that behavior.

I think he'll be fine either way, but how his fans react also matters.

[mutedfeelism]

people expecting a teen POC to "stand up" and "not tolerate this behavior" and "distance himself" from weirdos at age 17, knowing full well what that means, are not right in the head. i wonder how that must feel like, to be so righteous, to have such a nice high horse to sit on, that you can comfortably yap online and revel in that sweet, sweet dopamine hit of feeling superior. "well I knew better", "well I was never like that". - slow clap - congrats, you still turned into a bully and have zero comprehension skills and empathy for other people's lived experience. good job, you're still a shit person.

You jobless cunts should be more useful and leak his fights in barns with his classmates instead of this bs 🤣

[hudconcore]

For some to think that in the age of cancel/ woke culture an aspiring actor Hudson Williams would roam the earth happily knowing there is a picture of him as a teenager with a swastika drawn with a sharpie over his face and thinking to himself, "damn son, with this sort of morale, i'm gonna be one big racist powerful superstar."

Idk if some people are just too obtuse or choose to be so. Hudson isn't racist and doesn't have one racist bone in his body.

"Dear Louis Tomlinson,

Harry Styles here. Disco diva of the stages, pregnant person in the making. Do you know who I am? I've heard you are executive producer of films now. I have been in films. Some of them are really great films, some of them are films. Have you seen any of my films, Louis Tomlinson? Do you think I looked extra cute on the big screen? Did I ever move you to tears with my acting skills? Christopher Nolan once told me over a cup of tea that I have great talent. I cried in Cillian Murphy's arms afterwards. If you ever want to work on your skills as executive producer of films, I'm more than happy to help! We can work on many different sorts of films, Louis Tomlinson. I'm magical like that! ;)

All the love, Harry Styles"

"Dear Louis Tomlinson,

My name is Harry Styles. Disco diva of the stages, pregnant person in the making. Do you know who I am? Did you see me wearing a Louis-blue jacket last night? Do you think I looked beautiful? I felt beautiful. I call it Louis-blue because it's the same shade of color as your eyes. I love your eyes. I sang many of my love songs. When I sang them, I thought of only you, Louis Tomlinson. I love being on tour. And spread love and the gospel of disco dance. Are you happy for me, Louis Tomlimson? I think a lot of people are happy for me.

My kisses are only for you, Harry Styles"
