TW// hate crime
Let's be honest ally-ship has been a trending topic for years now. The on going injustices only amplify the need for it. But personally I've been seeing a ton of failed attempts. Performative activism and failed ally-ship tend to go hand in hand. They also seem to be attempts to prove integrity in oneself. All in all it leaves me feeling off. So I'm confronting it. Yes that includes calling out celebrities and "stans" who never question their actions. Everyone is deserving of criticism because no one is flawless. It's okay to love someone and critic their mistakes.
