since there are still new people liking and reblogging my tally hall art/posts, old and new(ish), i figured i should make my stance clear. joe hawley has proven time and time again that he cannot be trusted to foster safe and appropriate interactions with his fans, especially those who are underage. and this is to say nothing of the extremely harmful and bigoted views he has repeatedly expressed surrounding race and gender.
any past art i have made of him or any appreciation i have for tally hall and their work does not include any support for him and his actions. in fact, it's more reason to condemn his behavior, for using the importance this band has to his underage audience to take advantage of them. i would advise any fans, minors or not, to take caution and avoid him, and to not put him up on a pedestal for the sake of others as well.
#tally hall#joe hawley#it makes me sick how intent the fandom has been for years on 'debunking' the accusations that have been levied against him#i regret the amount of faith i gave him at the beginning of my appreciation for the band#i know i already had this disclaimer on my interests page#but this needs to be said somewhere more public i feel#also adding this since i've seen people in the tags questioning the veracity of the document.#i'm a relatively older tally hall fan and i can say that this is a pattern of behavior that has been documented to varying degrees#and in multiple instances#his awful views on race have even made it into tally hall's discography (see banana man)#of course you don't have to take it from me just saying this#look into things on your own. think and draw your own conclusions#but i am not trying to present an argument. i am not trying to argue whether he is personally good or bad#and neither is the document. it was created as a warning for other fans of a credible danger
