The gifset going around about Tom Holland is fake.

He never said he had a partner with they/them pronouns, and it was captioned because it was a fan request from a Tom Holland fanblog.

Furthermore, doing this to your faves makes them look bad if misinformation spreads around. Celebrities aren’t your goddamn plaything, and they lead real lives. They aren’t just a fucking character. It’s disrespectful.

On Twitter people were doing the same thing to gifs and images of Millie Bobby Brown—an actual literal child—making her say all kinds of negative, nasty, and homophobic shit. People thought this was real, and it was getting so out of hand that people were harassing Millie (a child) on Twitter badly enough that it made her deactivate her Twitter account.

Not only is it disgusting to pretend that celebrities are your playthings—characters for your enjoyment to superimpose whatever ideals you want onto them—but it’s inherently terrible when you’re manipulating their image, careers, and lives.

A child was harassed on Twitter because of it. Doing things like what was done to a gif set of Tom Holland isn’t harmless. It has repercussions. Quit treating actual real-life people like toys for your enjoyment.

can we please stop reblogging that post about david bowie being a p-dophile because he supposedly slept with an underage groupie

the groupie, lori mattix, said in an interview with thrillist that she lost her virginity to him in 1973 when she was 15. but in an earlier interview with paul trynka, she claimed it happened in october 1972 when she was only 14. she also completely changed the narrative, first saying she snuck into his hotel room and later deciding he approached her at a restaurant. 

also, according to another ex-groupie, she was confirmed in a relationship with jimmy page in the summer of 1972, well before bowie ever toured in california, where she lived.

he was pretty vocal about his stance against p-dophilia as he wrote “shopping for girls” about child trafficking in thailand, threatened to fire his drummer for sending teenage girls to his hotel room, and refused to perform the kiss scene written into the movie labyrinth because jennifer connelly was 14 at the time.

its good to fact check before spreading accusations as serious as this, especially about an activist who campaigned against racism against aboriginal people in australia, openly criticized MTV for not playing music videos by black artists, and, with his wife iman, donated millions of dollars to various human rights organizations in the third world.

Guys, PLEASE REBLOG THIS. Even if you’re not a HUGE fan, reblogging this will do a lot of people a lot of good

Told one of my friends that I unfriended my homophobic/transphobic uncle on facebook before coming out and they responded with “but how can you open his mind that way?” so just a reminder:

My job is to exist. My job is to be happy. My job is not to educate, I am willing to help you educate yourself, but above all else, it is my job to find peace that I’ve wanted for years. If someone does not make me feel good, why should I have to be a part of their life? I do not have to suffer so that others can grow. A blooming garden is not expected to keep it’s vines and weeds, so why am I?

“I do not have to suffer so that others can grow.”

Remember, it is not the responsibility, (nor can it be), of the oppressed to educate their oppressors.
