I'm not trying to shade the Anon who asked, but the fact that people are going out and asking random ST fans "What are your thoughts on Noah being a Zionist?" Shows that there's a big problem with this fanbase.

He's an actor. On a TV show. He's not our friend. He's allowed to have his own thoughts and opinions. Even ones that people think are shitty and disagree with.

People in this fandom have developed these unhealthy parasocial relationships with the actors. Particularly the younger ones. They expect them to act and behave a certain way, and then rake them over the coals for failing to live up to their expectations.

None of the actors owe the fanbase shit. They have their own lives. If you're so distraught, don't watch the show. Get another hobby. But don't harass the people involved with the show and other fans. You may think you look cool and everybody else is doing it - but they aren't. People outside of Twitter are all talking about how pathetic that behavior is.

HONESTLY OMG

like i was literally ranting to my sibling abt this last night but this fandom is so overly obsessed with the actors it’s weird nd yeah i get that supporting israel rn isn’t just an opinion considering yk, there’s a genocide going on but these ppl were acting like their best friend was saying that stuff nd don’t even get me started on the way so many of yous felt it was a reason to literally harass him which like stg if ur harassing ppl not bcz it’s likely to help someone (eg. a campaign spam calling a politician to get them to not pass x fucked law or whatever) and just bcz u think it’ll make u a “good person”/they’re a “bad person” so they deserve it (even if harassing them would make their harmful views worse) ur not a good person u just like harassing people and that’s ignoring the fact that ppl were literally calling him antisemitic nd homophobic slurs (i saw some ppl defend the homophobic ones by saying “the ppl calling him fags r mostly other gay ppl who just don’t like zionists” as if it matters whether the anon calling u homophobic slurs actually secretly likes dick or not but i know none of yous were jewish and telling him hamas should kill his whole family or whatever) but yeah idk sorry went on a whole rant here lol

TL;DR: fandom is weirdly obsessed with the actors nd harassment, homophobia and antisemitism r bad even if the gay jew ur harassing is a “bad person”

what's funny to me about the age poll is like. the original poll was also not meant to be a serious reflection of tumblr stats (it was intended only for OP's followers and broke containment, OP is 26 and assumed most of their followers were younger bc they run a minecraft blog)

so like, while your version is more obviously satirical, people reacting in the same way they reacted to the original makes a lot of sense actually; this being a website where we piss on the poor and all

Yeah, I do feel bad for the OP of that post, at least I did it on purpose XD And most interactions on mine were neutral-to-positive, I definitely got off better than them. And the people who get offended are hilarious, so really it's 100% positive interactions for me so far, haha

Sadly I don't think there's a threshold at which anything becomes obviously satirical. yk? If someone wants to get offended over any silly little tumblr poll, there's no stopping them. Better they direct their anger towards me than someone who could actually be hurt by it.
