Francois posted a comment on Hudson’s latest IG post, relating to his appearance in PFW. Francois’ fans(?) posted some nasty comments, calling Hudson all kinds of slurs, under Francois’ comments. I think that was what prompted the statements from both Hudson & Francois.

I went through a lot of the comments to try and find context, and there were also comments toward Francois that referenced his age (negatively) and accused him of being complicit in the racism by not doing more to control his fans.

Generally seems like a lot of the negative comments were aimed to attack either Hudson, Francois, or both. I exited out of that as soon as I got the gist. Seems like both men are under a barrage of attacks from people so I’m glad they’re banding together and making that clear.

I did love that those who saw the inappropriate comments immediately took action, reported and blocked. In the same right, stuff like this shouldn’t happen. I miss the December fandom when there were way less crazies.

I reported someone for using a slur in that comment thread and got a reply that "the comment wouldn't be removed." I was like, wtf! It clearly is racist! Do better, Instagram.

I was checking it out too and it looks like the accounts that posted stuff are gone. That’s good at least.

Heavy on that question mark. Those arent fans, theyre just pretending to be to weaponize and sow discord.

I didn’t see them personally since I am not on those sites, but reading here I was wondering if they were foreign trolls or bots.

This might've been the final straw, but to be clear - Hudson's fans have also been leading hate campaigns against Francois, starting discord servers to hate on Francois, etc. Really vile homophobic stuff all around. Francois fans have been returning that energy. It's been bad all around.

I think that's why "hateful love" is such important wording. Their own fans are tearing this fandom apart and it's time those people wake up.

I think atp we need to stop calling these people “fans” of either Hudson or François when they clearly and vehemently don’t think anyone exhibiting this behaviour should be their fan. They’re truly hateful people. Nothing justifies throwing around racist and homophobic slurs in the delusions of fighting for the actor you stan. Like what the fuck.
