Apparently there's a movement called "blockout2024" that is blocking celebs for many reasons, but I've seen it on here from people saying you should block every celeb at the Met Gala, and also a hundred more who nebulously "haven't done enough". This list includes everyone, including Gigi Hadid. You know, the Palestinian-American who is one of the most outspoken pro-Palestinian-freedom celebrities? In fact, it has several Palestinian and pro-Palestinian people prominently on it, lumped in with actual supporters of the genocide against them, and classed as one and the same

Obviously this is a stupid - no wait people are defending it

This isn't even thinking imperfect allies are worse than enemies. The idea that Palestinians who are extremely vocal about supporting Palestine should be dismissed as gross, awful, tone deaf people who need to be blocked and ostracized for attending an event that wasn't even being boycotted is just. What are you even doing.

Gigi Hadid, who donated all of her 2022 earnings to Ukraine and Palestine. Gigi Hadid, who has received death threats over her support for Palestine & who had family members doxxed. Gigi Hadid, who needs to be held to account for...attending a museum fundraiser? Eurovision was being boycotted for very specific reasons, this one is a bunch of people on social media saying "well it's a bit Hunger Games isn't it" because they have the secret BDS list that has all the celebrities they already hate on the top of it. In this case there's also evidence like "she was holding a Starbucks cup in one magazine photoshoot" & "she may be in the background of this photo someone took at a Starbucks", definite proof that she doesn't care and is secretly evil and lying about everything so she can maybe stand in the background of a Starbucks

How can the type of slacktivist that constantly calls everything a psyop look at a list saying "hey, go ahead and block all these pro-Palestinian activists! Make sure to trash them as awful people too. This is violating BDS guidelines btw" and go, this is legit and I need to defend it to the death. They're seriously not only not questioning that but coming up with reasons to justify it? Not the SLIGHTEST bit of pause about anonymous uncited internet lists telling them comrades are irredeemable scum? Everyone who is a slightly different type of communist than them is a Fed, but this anonymous internet list telling them to stop boosting anyone with a platform who supports their cause...that's the real thing baby

Also it is slacktivism. It is slacktivism to make a righteous cause out of blocking celebrities on Instagram en masse. It's funny that a lot of these posts say they don't care about celebrities when like. Yes, if you're attaching grave importance to methodically blocking thousands and thousands of famous people, you...are actually extremely celebrity-obsessed? Far, far more than most people. Literally no one else is still talking about the Met Gala, if it was a distraction, the one getting distracted is you. If your activism is about finding ways to justify silencing Palestinians and supporters for minor mistakes bc a random internet list told you to...I repeat: what are you even doing

If someone tells you to block and denounce people from the oppressed group you're supporting, your first reaction should be "are you a cop?", not "yes, I'll do this unquestioningly, and you're an awful person if you don't too"

Not that it's above criticism, it's not, but I feel your Met Gala take should at least acknowledge it's a fundraiser for an art museum with pay-what-you-want admission instead of vaguely presenting it as as if it's an event where everyone goes to dump their money in Scrooge McDuck pits and jump around in it
