I’ll say something painfully obvious—no one who attacks Hudson in any way should be able to call themself a fan of Connor.
C was clear how much H means to him—his bff, soulmate, one of the 4 people permanently marked on C’s skin. If you disrespect that, you hate C, not love him.
spent my morning off twitter for once, but i finally got on and the first thing i see is connor fans harassing the journalist who wrote that EW article despite it not being about connor whatsoever…and now what they’re doing to her is exactly what they’ve been doing to hudson
@Xarlitosgp What I meant won’t happen is the haters and the racists controlling the narrative around H. They won’t be able to win or damage his career. The numbers speak for themselves, and every cancellation attempt just expands H’s fanbase & make his fans more loyal & fiercely protective
@Xarlitosgp I agree it’s been awful & exhausting being H’s fan, and it’s honestly making me lose faith in humanity. But I’ve also seen some of the most beautiful outpourings of love for H, and no one can stop that. Plus the situation is the worst in the US, but on other continents, H is #1
@HudSentinel I said biggest fanbase next to hudville, and objectively, that’s true. Plus most gp members are hudcons (in the sense of liking both H and C, not in a shipping way). I constantly see hudcons supporting H’s projects; you’re likely only exposed to the worst of them, who are awful
@Boobookit777@Xarlitosgp I really wish we could find a way to heal this toxic fandom 🥺
All I’ve seen lately is escalating aggression and increasingly unethical means being used by all sides to “win”, which end up hurting everyone in the process (except those that truly deserve it)
This is…bleak.
As OP said though , I hope folks don’t use this as an excuse to harass others. The whole point of mistakes is that we learn and grow from them. I’m not sure if that will happen here, but I always hope that’s the case.
And the sooner we can get back to the messy art of creating, the better off we’ll all be.
@Xarlitosgp I completely agree!!
We can never let that happen. And it won’t, bc Hudson & his global fanbase are too powerful. H will be the star that redefines this era, and even the haters can see that (which is why they’re so pressed)
@Boobookit777@Xarlitosgp Keep calling out bad behaviours, not insulting entire groups or trying to retaliate by acting equally problematic ourselves. Keep investigating & reporting 😪
Anyone with a platform could use it to highlight the dynamics of hatred against a rising poc star. &Keep supporting H ofc
@Boobookit777@Xarlitosgp It’s not saying how gross that point is, it’s just calling all hudcons morally depraved for something they didn’t do, and then encouraging concois, which caused much of the racist hatred against H in the first place. We could just say this jealousy narrative is gross
@Boobookit777@Xarlitosgp I’m constantly fighting condoms and concoises. I just don’t think a war between the two factions that actually support H is useful when we have so many nasty racist POS to worry about
@Boobookit777@Xarlitosgp I would LOVE to bring back respect, on all sides. I wholeheartedly agree that H has been endlessly disrespected, and I fight people for doing so constantly. But creating some useless hatred between H’s biggest two fanbases doesn’t seem like the answer
@vmichelle91@onewmysun No idea, bc i’ve never seen what you’re describing. The person who wrote this bullshit has also written endless posts about how incredibly successful H’s career will be.
@onewmysun I’ve never seen any hudcon treat H like a housewife. If you find any, please share so I can whack them.
The person who wrote this shit (that I also hate) is focusing on C’s career here bc they’ve dedicated a whole big post just to H’s successful career, but haven’t done it for C
