Look... Chappell Roan may be exhausted with fame, and she's entitled to her privacy. Both are valid.
But if you're sitting in a public restaurant and an 11-year-old child who idolizes you simply passes by and shyly and politely waves, you put down your fucking fork for a second and wave back at minimum. That's the bare minimum.
You don't claim you were harassed. You don't send a security guard over to hassle the kid's family.
You wanted a career in music. You wanted fans. Having a right to privacy does not mean the entire world, full of kids who admire and look up to you, is going to somehow pretend you don't exist when you're out in public. That's absurd.
You offer kindness for kids because they're kids.
Her stans are currently getting ready to explain to you that an 11 year old walking past a table is an act of patriarchal violence that violates a queer woman's bodily autonomy lmao.
i defended Chapell against the paps and the men bc they were weirdos and were doing too much but if not even a little girl can smile at her then she should retire from making music and touring. Nobody is forcing her to be famous, you don't gotta be rude to kids
WATCH: Cavite 4th District Rep. Kiko Barzaga abstains from voting for Isabela 6th District Rep. Bojie Dy as next House speaker, and then draws attention from the crowd. @manilabulletin
How many relationships are broken, how many stories become complicated, how many unspoken words remain suspended. And yet the Gospel shows us that there is always a way to continue to love, even when everything seems irredeemably compromised.
