#had to shut down some slander in my server the other day but it wasn't that serious

It's a good day to remind people that Esteban is not the horrible teammate you think he is, it is a narrative pushed by press, team, and others, and that most of his incidents with teammates weren't even his fault (and some were, of course, he is not a being of perfection).

It's a good day to remind people that Esteban is a deeply caring and passionate person, who donates tons to charity and never even says anything about it (how it should be done, when you're not looking for clout from it).

It's a good day to remind people that Esteban really has done nothing in particular wrong in his life or his career to deserve the reputation he has, and everyone who bandwagons on like "haha its so funny yeah he's a horrible teammate" is only pushing a harmful narrative that causes death threats, racism, and xenophobia to be spewed directly into his face.

It's a good day to remind people that Esteban isn't the villain that everyone else wants you to think he is. He's an imperfect person who sometimes makes mistakes like everyone else, but is then slandered and killed over those mistakes way more than anyone else ever would be because of that harmful narrative that is already in place against him.

It's a really good day to remind people that Esteban Ocon is a good driver, a good guy, and a good teammate.

And it's nice to see bigger names (and even smaller ones) coming out to speak in defense of him.
