MINORS DO NOT INTERACT

I have been on this hellsite since 2018 and not a goddamned thing any of you says to me about anything on here means shit to me anymore
A lot of internet discourse these days gives off the vibe of people who had disliked or hated someone or something popular, but either didn’t have a specific/generalized reason or that person/thing was associated with something very positive or even they didn’t want to come across a very certain way for their hate, but then something new happens and all these people pile on with “oh I’ve always hated them/that, they’ve/it’s been awful for so long!” and then dragging out as many receipts as they can find (whether they’re factual or faked, or if they’ve been forgiven before, or whatever).
And then, if that person apologies/the thing gets fixed or the creator makes a statement addressing the issue, it doesn’t even matter anymore because now these people have a whole bubble of others around them who either feel the same way they do continuing to spread all these “receipts” to try and keep other people from accepting the response and to convince others the thing/person is still bad, whether they actually are or not. It’s this whole vibe of waiting for a reason to go to war, and then continuing to slaughter your perceived enemies even as they wave the flag of surrender.
What’s even more is that, when these people who hate the person/thing rise up like this, it makes people who really like that person/thing get upset and sometimes will fight back the exact same way, whether the person/thing is good or bad or whatever. It’s not healthy on either side of this mess, and anyone who’s in the middle gets attacked on both sides until they all basically either pick a side or try and avoid the whole thing entirely. Not everything has to be one big showdown with a bulleted list of every terrible thing involved in the discourse, and attacking anyone who has a different opinion than you over something always has consequences, good or bad.
TL:DR — You don’t need some ground-breaking reason to hate someone/something in a socially acceptable way. Likewise, you can enjoy bad people/things while still acknowledging the bad stuff. Trying to force others to your side on those matters makes you just as bad, in the end.
Take a chill pill. Pet a dog/cat/other animal. Go outside and get off the internet for a little while.

Don’t forget this meme exist because everyone on the set was hating him and they get super happy when he died.
Okay so I reblogged this somewhat uncritically at first I’ll admit. I remembered that media is going to attempt to turn actors into people that we can turn against. Despite his… Previous behaviors I wanted to be 100% sure. So here is his comments from Instagram on what he said:
Also here’s a link to the previous behaviors in question
Now you can see here he is just saying striking is something he does not like and he expects to be present on the picket line.
HOWEVER
He has already crossed the picket line. As many are aware SAG-AFTRA has called for all union members to STOP promotion and events. This includes social media promotion. For his show, Heels, new season he did this:
So not only has he promoted the show on social media, and done so in a way that shows that he clearly knows what he is doing. BUT he also attended a convention which if you look it up was 100% AFTER the union call to cut event attendance. AKA something DIRECTLY in opposition to his union’s strike requirements. If you check their website you can see it is one of the immediate things that is seen as a call to arms for striking actors.
To attend this convention and sign autographs and do promotion for the show with his attendance is a CLEAR CUT violation of the union rules for the strike. Full-stop right there, he’s a Scab 100%. No “he maybe had to do it to survive!!” Nick Cage has a crippling dinosaur bone addiction and somehow managed to stay the picket line soooo. Fuck Amell right there. Not to mention the people losing their homes and what not. He had a choice and he made it, scab right there. But I’ll continue because it’s kind of fun to rip him to shreds.
To promote his show on social media was to cross the picket line, to do so in this little “haha I’m not promoting it, it just happened to be there!” Bullshit way was a spit in the face of his union leadership and his fellow union members. ESPECIALLY combined with the fact that he promoted it at a convention with his attendance, and clearly in the timeframe of the strike.
You may be saying, “Maybe he’s really dumb and thought this was okay!” In regards to his social media posts. Okay sure but at best he thought it was wrong because he purposefully went out of his way to misdirect what he was doing. But hey I’ll give you that, maybe he’s the most braindead guy ever.
Except for this:
He was fully aware. He was told. He was informed. He continued to make this decision. If he shows on a picket line I highly suspect he will not be welcomed as a studio exec would not be welcomed. I hope they fully rescind his union leadership. The replies to the tweet are him defending his actions, to which the other replies with the gif in which he becomes big cry baby Jane about.
This is also COMPLETELY ignoring the Jordan Peterson retweet where he is happily saying he must be offensive to “think” which is just…. Well a defense for the braindead thing I’ll give you that. But the main message here is this:
Stephen Amell is 100% unmistakably and unapologetically a scab, and this is not just BS propaganda. May his union membership be revoked with prejudice.
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
If this sort of weight-based medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them accountable.
with the state of social media right now, it is doubly important to archive pages. please add the wayback machine extension to your browser and set it to automatically archive the pages you visit. i’d also recommend setting it to archive outlinks, since many pages require you to click links to get the full context, especially on social media.
