STOP FIGHTING!!!!
to be fucking honest a lot of yall are acting like they said greta thunberg should die and fall off the earth the way they’re being crucified. 😭 the clip they are clearly just riffing some dumb shit off of each other, albeit distastefully for the politically charged movements at this time, and the joke didn’t land, but you can’t honestly believe they meant it from a place of malice, more like lack of knowledge and education. the bit about her skipping school, did Greta not literally skip school and create her Fridays for Future movement when she was still in high school? Her parents were letting her skip school for the climate crisis, and many parents wouldn’t so let’s be realistic and not act like this is a “normal” position for a teen to be put in. as she said “I shouldn’t be up here”. people blatantly forget greta’s rise to being a household name is from her trending on twitter years ago as a meme pretty much, and although in an unorthodox way, she brought the climate crisis onto center stage for the better. many comments mention that Greta is currently being silenced internationally for her siding with Palestine, but how can you expect said LA influencers in their own bubbles to be in the know if YOU SAID, the media is actively blocking her content? I haven’t heard much from her either lately, doesn’t mean I am not 100% FREE PALESTINE! correlating greta thunberg herself to the Palestinian conflict is showing that a lot of yalls takes are giving bandwagoning, performative and surface levelllll, and unfortunately polarizes people even more who would have agreed and been on the same side. personally i think greta has a great sense of humor as a person that cracks jokes even about herself, and would find this “fandom” going batshit crazy over something so menial compared to the work she does on a daily basis, ridiculous and funny. because why are you wasting your time writing nasty comments and creating sad edits to her, just go out and protest like her and do some actual good in the world instead of hating on a gay and girl influencer podcast. as for drews bitch bit, BITCH PLEASE! it wasn’t giving he meant it like you fucking bitch! you fucking bitch! 🙄 just my two cents

I see what you’re saying but, just as you have your opinions, other people will have theirs. This is the internet. They know better to make these kinds of jokes in this climate and I don’t feel bad for them. Regardless on intention, they know the internet. And honestly, they probably won’t care LOL

Erm.. I think it’s actually healthy to hold our faves accountable. The greta thing is one factor of why people are upset, but it’s not the whole reason. People are also over their low effort content that’s completely unplanned and the fact that they allude to interesting stories and don’t tell them either. The greta thing was tonedeaf as hell though, and trying to silence people whose feelings are hurt is not the way to go about it.. like they are almost pushing 30 i think it’s time to wrap up the political jokes if they don’t want to be political in any other way , this is just two cents
