lmao i know and this is literally the worst shit she’s ever done. Halsey’s a biracial bisexual mentally ill young woman activist and musician and i don’t even like her music that much lmao but I’ll literally fight to the death for her bc no one else on the is goddamn website will. Everyone be holding Halsey to impossibly high standards forever, even after she’s publicly apologized for these two things and Yet,,,, No one on this green earth gives a shittt that brendon urie made a joke about rape at a panic! show seven years ago!! No One Gives A Shit!!!!! But halsey used a slur against trans ppl (without malice and without even knowing it was a slur!!) in a tweet 7 years ago when she was literally f o u r t e e n years old. but sure my hombre,,,,,,,,,, keep on hatin this young beautiful woman,,,,,,,,,, and keep on sending messages like this to anyone who posts something positive about her,,,,,,, and keep tellin urself it’s bc she’s problematic,,,,,,,,, that it’s because you wanna do the right thing,,,,,,, but we both know that ain’t the truth.
I know I run a book blog so maybe this isn’t the right platform for this, but girls: Please look out for other girls. Tonight I was stuck at a bus stop in Shoreditch circa 2 AM and saw another young woman getting harassed by a drunk, aggressive dude, and at first I thought, “She’s got it under control.” But then he started touching her and I went “No, that’s definitely not right.” So I barged over and shoved him out of the way and said, “Beth?? Oh my God, how are you, I haven’t seen you since grade school!” And this girl I’d never seen before in my life threw her arms around my neck and whispered, “You are an angel, thank God.” We talked for fifteen minutes, the creep lost interest, I watched her get on the bus and I will sleep so much better knowing she got home in one piece. If you see something weird happening, intervene. The worst that can happen is embarrassment, and I think that’s worth the risk when you consider the alternative.
Every platform is the right platform for this.
