Rachel Zegler Responds to Criticism Over Celebrities Attending The Met Gala

[just444]

this is not some kind of twitter stan issue and when it gets treated as such, it delegitimizes the reason for donating, for sharing information. when you decide to point fingers instead of educating, you make people afraid to speak- to say the wrong thing, to not say enough,

For that you'd have to assume any of these celebrities care about genocide.

It's not really surprising that "Israel" have used big US events (Oscars, Met Gala) as a distraction to do horrendous things (in a sea of horrendous things lbr) because the distraction works for most people.

According to tik tok Kim has lost 3 million followers already?

[xdecadentx]

What does that have to do with anything?

[lauren901]

I’m stating if ur on tik tok there’s a big celeb block trend now

[xdecadentx]

That has nothing to do with the post.

I can't edit my comment because someone replied, but I think that's where a lot of the anger is coming from.

The celebrities are saying 'don't make this about a tragedy, it cheapens the tragedy' but in attending the Met Gala they're providing the distraction that the IOF is using to cover their genocide.

like tiktok now wants to block Taylor Swift so she...says something?

she obvioulsy doesn't care and most of her fans seem fine with it.

Tik tok wants everyone to block celebs now

[xdecadentx]

I'm very confused because blocking isn't mentioned in the post.

I've clearly missed something.

it's a pretty new tiktok(?) movement i don't really fully understand tbh

https://www.distractify.com/p/why-are-people-blocking-celebrities

In an era of extreme wealth inequality, it can be easy to think that the average person is utterly powerless. A group of TikTok users are trying to change that and they're doing it by using one of the simplest tools at their disposal - the power to block people.

TikTok users have called for their followers to block a wave of different celebrities, encouraging them to focus on one in particular every day.

i said this in my comment, but its pretty silly and performative. however it is presently targeting a creator i think is annoying as FUCK so im letting it ride

[sluttyroyals]

Basically the idea is that, since a lot of celebrities often use social media to promote themselves or their products, people should refuse to give any celebrities any views in response to said celebrity’s neutrality or support of Israel, and blocking them is a way to avoid even accidental views.

I see your point. It sounds like you're saying "people can hold two thoughts in their head, but that doesn't mean they will, and they'll go with the easier thought to process."

I think someone said at the beginning of the war they would use outrage fatigue against us.

"Israel" would keep doing horrific things until people couldn't keep being outraged at which point they would use distraction tactics to do outrageous things when the media news coverage was on other things.

I full expect them to do some vile and evil things while the West is focusing on Eurovision as well, and people who are distracted, and those who aren't, will hear what they've done and be angry at the distraction.
