"Where was this energy before? Where was this take PRIOR to the announcement? Why are y'all speaking up about it now, when there was all this time and opportunity for the past year to do so?"

I fucking hate saying this but people celebrating Keanu Reeves being Shadow's voice actor is NOT the time to chime in with a "well actshually he's a violent Zionist and hates palestian people" because it truly is in bad taste that doesnt actually help anyone. All it does is push the notion that you shouldnt like person A because they are secretly evil and you should feel bad.

Where was this energy before? Where was this take PRIOR to the announcement? Why are y'all speaking up about it now, when there was all this time and opportunity for the past year to do so?

I guess I wouldn't be so bothered by it if the claims were verifiable beyond "trust me bro" sources. The ONLY thing I can confirm is he visited Israel in 2014. If Keanu really is this genocide-supporter, please give me some sources.
