Celebrity Platforms

Today, someone I’ve respected for a long time made some tweets that were incredibly controversial for obvious reasons. To be clear, I have supported Twenty One Pilots for a long time. I was at their concerts with audiences of 500, and Their music saved my life. I have a tattoo of the song that saved me.

Tonight, however, Tyler tweeted some problematic content. For context, his fans have apparently been begging him to use his celebrity platform to speak out about important issues. Namely, the BLM movement. Instead of initially tweeting about BLM, he tweeted this.

I see where this could have been funny in another context. It’s very much a “read the room” situation, and Tyler did not. Two hours later, he begins a thread of tweets about mental health.

Mental health is important by all means. The way he went about this was a bit flawed. Some of his tweets made his followers believe he was in danger; and that they had caused him to be in danger. I wouldn’t go quite as far as to call this gaslighting, but he was on thin fucking ice.

Two hours after this, he finally tweets his stance on the BLM movement. His response is incredibly flippant. He stated that Black lives matter, but he wanted to take time to talk about what he felt was important. Then, he said, “but I guess there’s no room for that right now.”

He then finally apologized.

Let me be incredibly clear, there is always room for mental health awareness. Always. No one is upset with him for promoting this awareness. What people are upset about is the flippant way he went about promoting issues. The way he joked about using celebrity platforms to promote the BLM movement, after months of silence.

His “stans” are jumping to his defense. Saying he shouldn’t have to promote “political” issues. He’s not an activist, he’s a musician.

Some of the fandom has canceled him.

What needs to be done is to have celebrities held accountable. We don’t need to cancel. We need to educate. Human rights issues are NOT political. You don’t have to be an activist to speak up about human rights; and it doesn’t make you an activist to do so. It makes you a human being.

Celebrities, specifically straight, white, cis, men; have an obligation to use their platforms for good. This is not exclusive to celebrities; but people tend to listen to those who have a higher societal standing (appeal to unqualified authority and all that), and thus, will listen to their favorite celebrities. We all have this obligation with social media. Use your platform for good. Be better. Do better.

Thinking about Kay coming for ND-5's rescue again for absolutely no reason but because I love everyone's reactions.

I love how Kay makes her priorities clear and that she came to save ND-5 while saving Asara is barely an afterthought (outch!).

ND isn't really able to show emotions on his face, but, boy, you can tell he's shooked and his processors are running hard in this moment, trying to process the fact that Kay came after him, risking it all for him!

And I just love the way Jaylen and Asara look at ND with their matching expressions saying "Wait, him??? You're here for HIM?!?" (I think that both of them are a bit smitten with Kay in the game, well everyone is smitten with her for good reasons).

This is like one of the top and iconic tropes with the hero coming to rescue of their beloved last minute and I have so many feels about this.

And don't even get me started on how Kay wears the Stormtrooper gear in this scene, making her look like a knight in shining armor, and ND, restrained by the restraining bolt, is basically the cursed/chained up damsel in distress in the clutches of the evil syndicate king.

The game really went hard with these classic romantic tales/tropes for them.

characters dynamic that's like "they weren't in a relationship but they're definitely exes now"
