RTtopupdating: @morphedkid_xx @elliesarmtatt @chahadun @tylerrjoseph I truly hope you can eventually gain some perspective & realize how you, a white man, trying to tell & dictate how a community you aren't remotely a part of should react to something blatently insensitive i…
RTtopupdating: thank you to those who at least thought about why many fans were mad, and understood what we were saying. we hope if anything comes out of today, it's people wanting to make way for change, even if they're struggling personally. stay safe guys.
RTtopupdating: none of this was out of malice. we're not big fans anymore, but this band and their music will always mean something to us. you guys can have whatever opinion—stick to it if you want. but we are passionate about real issues, and jokes about them make us feel sick.
RTtopupdating: thank you for making it clear. you stand, but alone—silent, in the trees, standing cowardly i guess. take care of yourself. many of your fans will continue to do the work as always, even as they struggle with the same issues. i guess that'… https://t.co/Gn5My6S9Ok
RTtopupdating: i really don't know what else to say. i don't doubt that you care about these issues. you can't fix everything, no one can. this year has been a whole lot for all of us. but it's also brought many of us together. i hope you understand why we're hurt by this. i…
RTtopupdating: to make a joke out of your silence on tangible suffering then revert back to "i'm a mental health advocate though and asking me to tweet just like i am doing right now but not about my own issues is too heavy for me" is a slap in the face to everyone like you …
RTtopupdating: *that* is the point. it's not even putting others first—it's simply considering them. i have to question your intentions when you immediately swerve to the mental health conversation when countless mentally ill people have been protesting and donating, etc. fo…
RTtopupdating: but we—with nowhere near the power that you have—understand how much just a few posts can do. we see these tragedies, and they're overwhelming, but it doesn't stop us from doing the right thing. it doesn't stop us from taking a stand. imagine what your stand c…
RTtopupdating: to @tylerrjoseph, from the heart.
please take care of yourself. we understand what you're saying. we understand what you're going through and have gone through. many of your fans including myself have dealt with intense mental anguish—your music has helped wh…
i’m trying to cut through to who really needs to hear this.
this is tough, but it’s not hopeless.
fighting for your mental health is not public, it’s not glorious, it’s not even interesting, but it’s the greatest challenge you will face.
RTtopupdating: @marie_elena111 @tylerrjoseph We wouldn't have tweeted what we did if we simply hated Tyler and thought he was just a bad person. But we believe he has misused his platform for awhile now, and has hurt many fans. We would accept an apology if it were genuine, …
RTtopupdating: Thank you for your precious time, @tylerrjoseph.
Feel free to quote this with anything you believe will bring change you want to see, if you need personal help, or whatever else. We're in this together, and we can make change together. https://t.co/THyEVuNI7V
RTtopupdating: And all that is asked of you is your time. Time spent using the platform you were blessed with to make real change. You still have that time. Instead of making god awful jokes, you could make change. Why haven’t you chosen the latter? Whose side are you on?
RTtopupdating: When it stresses you out, you can turn the other cheek and you aren’t affected. You can get together with your family, and take your baby on a private jet, and post about that instead while hundreds of families are losing their loved ones and can’t even attend…
