Most of those “this celebrity is problematic for these reasons - a thread” posts on Twitter consist of just one or two, maybe three, valid reasons and then everything else is bunch of things taken out of context, social media posts made 10+ years ago, and maybe even straight up misinformation. While some celebrities definitely are problematic, I don’t think someone using a slur over 10 years ago when using that word was commonplace at the time and the celebrity hasn’t said the word since is a reason to believe they’re problematic.

#Making this post in light of a recent thread I saw about Katy Perry #one reason listed in it was saying that she supposedly murdered someone (???) even though she didn’t #someone added a clarification saying the actual context #someone fainted and died in front of her but she wasn’t the one who killed her?? Someone dying in front of a person doesn’t mean that perso #Murdered them #there was a tweet she made over 10 years ago shown in that thread where she said the word tr-nny #but back when that post was made it wasn’t really known it was a slur #using it to refer to trans people was quite common back then #and as far as I’m aware she hasn’t used the word since #there also was an image in it which supposedly was “cultural appropriation” in which she was dressed in traditional Japanese clothing #I might be mistakening it with another celebrity but I’m pretty sure the context was she was in Japan on tour and some Japanese fans of her #dressed her up in Japanese clothing and makeup as a way of sharing their culture with her #it sucks when people take images out of context to make them seem bad #someone wearing clothes from a certain culture isn’t inherently appropriation.#and things tak #but most were taken out of context or made over 10 years ago #Some was completely incorrect
