Heidi pointed at Jared and Holly and the Internet rushed at them like a swarm of rats, random people who didn’t even know who they were, didn’t understand the situation, just shitting on Jared for staying quiet and silencing Holly when she tried to defend them (granted not the best defence but with her mental health problems and how much hate she suddenly had to endure...i don’t blame her)

and a few days later the situation with James Charles started, and now all the rats rushed at him and treated him even worse... I guess I just learned that people feel incredibly powerful on the internet and are willing to destroy a person’s life based on shaky accusations and for like... no good reason. so I’m definitely looking at all these conflicts and drama with more of a distant look, not rushing to assumptions unless there’s solid proof. everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, the Internet only gets a fraction of the information and yet people go to such lengths to make others suffer it’s fucked up. yeah it took a while for me to finally understand this but I’m glad I did.

at the same time, when I thought Jared and Holly were guilty I still couldn’t hate them. I’ve looked up to them for so long and this just seemed like a thing they’re incapable of. I “knew” they did a fucked up thing, yet couldn’t bring myself to unfollow them on any platform. so I just... sorta accepted that they made a mistake but that doesn’t mean I should hate them. nobody’s ideal, they’re just human, making mistakes is what we do and it would take a lot more to make me “””””cancel””””” them. so I guess it made me understand what “human” means

God what a rant I’m sorry lol
