I feel like in wake of the music video can I criticize the word use/word choices. I'm not going to argue for Shelby supporters not to criticize Wilbur. That's their/your right and they're/you're valid to express it, but I am going to argue how they/you do so needs to be a little more considerate to other people.
Please, can we refrain from demonizing personality disorders people don't choose to have and using them as insults. Same with drug addictions. Drug addictions are not a moral failure. I know USA pushes DARE, and willpower and choice, but drug addictions are often systemic issues and from mental health crisis and are not a sign of an 'evil' person.
And can I just say, if you want to hold him accountable, if you want to criticize anything about his new music video--please for the love of cats and dogs--please choose your language better.
I'm hoping this is a dialogue Shelby supporters are having because I really don't want to tag them and get absolutely vile hate comments just for asking that if you're going to criticize Wilbur, can you not like...dehumanize whole groups of people and feel good doing it.
Like it's a good time to remind people when you criticize someone for physical traits or things they cannot change or are extreme afflictions they have (weight, teeth, hair, receding hairlines, skin, mental illness, addiction)—there's a very real chance someone you know and like also has something similar and they can feel like crap seeing a trait they have referred to as if it's something horrendous.
I also, though I haven't seen much, but I guess it might be because there's less of us. Do not attack Shubble's appearance either. Don't fight fire with fire.
Honestly, maybe we just need to post more compliments and nice things x_X.
