It's not an apology, it's a clarification. He very directly says "you misconstrued what I said" a thing multiple people around here have been trying to say for months. He said this exact same thing in an Instagram post he made a few months ago but people lack the reading comprehension skills to follow something like that. So he said it in a TikTok video again only some people are still not understanding. And it's because they don't want to. (He has recently taken his Instagram post down, I'm guessing because he is getting relentlessly harassed.) The truth of the matter is that many people didn't take the time to understand basic facts about this situation (like what the word Zionism actually means) and the result was that a lot of misinformation spread because people were desperate to make sure their followers knew they were The Most Progressive and The Most Anti-Racist. They did not talk about this issue in a way that was culturally sensitive. They made assumptions about Noah based on anti-Semitic stereotypes and I don't even think they realize they are doing it because, again, they aren't well-informed. But every time someone twists the word Zionism to mean "pro-genocide" and makes the flying leap that anyone using that word is laughing at people dying they are falling into the stereotype that Jews are bloodthirsty. Anytime people say that any Jewish person has the wrong information in this situation and needs to education themselves about their own culture, they are believing that Jews can't be trusted. They did all of these things to Noah and they did it very easily because they are ignorant. These people essentially turned into an angry mob. I can't even count the amount of comments I saw that were basically "I hate Noah too!!! Wait, what did he do? Someone tell me!" They piled on because their peers were doing it and not because they had any clue what the problem was. It was the cool and trendy thing to do so they did it. And they deluded themselves into thinking they were saving Palestinians in the process when they actually didn't do shit for anyone. The only problem is that the people who did this didn't take the time to inform themselves before piling on. Noah didn't apologize to them because he doesn't have to. They owe him an apology though and I think the ones with larger followings are responsible for a lot of this and imo are lucky they didn't get sued for defamation. He didn't do any of the things they are accusing him. They decided for themselves what he thought and believed based on very little information and they have no right to do this to anyone. They seriously think Noah is responsible for single-handedly killing people. He's not in the military or a politician. He didn't even endorse anyone who did. This whole situation is the stupidest fucking thing in the world. They are more outraged over the bullshit they made up about him the actual political situation and it's because they don't actually care. They are using Palestinians as an excuse to say hateful things, but they aren't helping them at all. I don't think Gen Z-ers are realizing that everyone older than them is getting increasingly more concerned about the way they go about their political activism. It's a serious problem and this current political situation only highlighted problems with them that had been occurring for a while now. Relentlessly harassing any Jewish person online for not speaking exactly to your liking isn't activism. Threatening to kill people who disagree with you isn't activism. Trying to ruin someone's career because they didn't act like your parasocial bestie isn't activism. Spamming the comments of everyone's posts with Free Palestine isn't activism and it sure as hell isn't what spreading awareness looks like. That requires being well informed first. Not to mention learning how to have difficult conversations without screaming hysterically at people and shouting that they must be pro-genocide/racist/misogynist/homophobic every damn second just because they said something you didn't take the time to understand.

They need to learn to ask for a clarification before assuming the absolute worst about people. They do this to people in the fandom constantly and it's why no one decent posts here regularly anymore. They are ignorant, plain and simple. But they are so desperate for peer approval and for people to think they are the best activists ever that they don't realize how much damage they do when they behave this way.

The people still pissed at Noah were always going to be. They were always going to pick him apart because they are anti-Semitic and they made that very clear. All he is saying is that people need to understand that both Jews and Palestinians are human and stop taking sides. A thing that anyone with a shred of human decency has been saying for months. The people who haven't been saying this tend to be very young (teens and early 20s) and it's because they fell for a lot of unverified information on TikTok - something that is concerning a lot of people given that it is an election year in the US. All anyone had to do here was listen and they didn't. They are too busy trying to be morally superior to anyone to bother having an actual conversation. They still aren't listening. There was nothing wrong with what Noah said here either. But people are determined to believe that he was laughing at people dying when he wasn't. This literally never happened. They just heard a word they weren't familiar with a jumped to awful conclusions. It's not their place to educate anyone on anything. They are not qualified to do so. And I wish people were smarter about who they were reblogging and weren't so desperate to get more followers by jumping on the bandwagon. They cause so much drama in the fandom constantly by acting like this. This is just the latest example.

The people who think it's now suddenly ok to be violent and homophobic towards someone just because they perceived that person to do something they didn't like, were waiting for an opportunity. They wanted to be horrible and they think they got a reason. They didn't and there is never a reason to behave like this. But it did reveal just how many people in this fandom are horrible human beings. The people who weren't saying this directly were still agreeing with those people and were not better than them. It should have set alarm bells off in their heads that the only people who agreed with them were being vile. That should have been the first clue they were on the wrong side. I wish people learned to think for themselves better. They were clearly jumping on the bandwagon and didn't understand what was going on. And I stand by my comment from a few months ago, we would not be dealing with relentless drama in the fandom if the show had a higher rating. And I do think they need to focus more on their original adult audience again. Most of us do not feel comfortable posting regularly in this fandom when it got taken over by kids who don't understand any of the things they are upset about, but they are upset with everyone and everything constantly. No one came here to babysit.

#social media seriously needs to do more about cyber bullying and the spread of misinformation #the people who did this to him owe him an apology #it used to be if you spread a rumor about someone you got sent to the principal and were forced to write a letter of apology #but kids are gently parented now and they can't handle being told they did something seriously wrong #they can't accept wrongdoing and they can't figure out how to fix it #so they just double down and act like even worse assholes than they've been acting #and everyone is fucking tired of it #no one wants to deal with this behavior anymore #gen z is increasingly becoming a group of people no one can trust #stranger things #noah schnapp

idk how much stock i put into those "gen z is more conservative than past generations" think-pieces from a few years back. but it's very possible for a person: to believe that climate change is a problem, to support (or be part of) the LGBT community, to believe in universal healthcare and social services, to support religious tolerance, to fight for expanded housing and labor rights, etc etc etc, and still, like, unabashedly hate women on a level you wouldn't believe existed

#like you really can't underestimate how far someone's hate can go for a specific group of people #while also believing in otherwise 'progressive' values idk #maybe i'm being a pessimist about these things #this is related to the last post i reblogged but now it's just on my mind #i understand that polls show (at least in the us) that gen z votes more blue than past generations and that's commendable #but you can walk and chew gum yknow. you can believe in progressive stuff while also being a massive sexist #and idk if these 'woowoo ~~trendy~~ sexism stereotypes but 'alternative and rebellious' bc i'm owning it' shit is uh. helping. #especially when you're too young to discern what is and is not 'ironic' or a 'joke' and you take it at face value #certain stuff is formative bc you're exposed to it young. and then BAM. it shapes how you see the world for a Very long time #sexism #rambles

One of my personal goals at the moment is not to box myself in when it comes to fashion. Fashion is important to me bc I was raised by a mother who refused to leave the house unless she looked the most elegant and classy she possibly could, and bc of her I also developed a taste for that kind of vibe. But I also feel like I play it safe most times and just want to experiment w things every now and then I think

#LIKE. i was into the 90s clean girl aesthetic before it became cool #and I’ll probably always default to the model off duty / basics / simple / classy & elegant vibe #this is my mom’s influence and I will never not love it #but I also really feel like experimenting w color and styles every now and then just for fun #no one will replace audrey hepburn / lily rose depp / princess di etc etc as my main style inspos #but!!! more experimentation. more fun. more color. more playfulness. i think that would be good for me at my age #it’s also what I appreciate abt gen z — I think one of the things I luv is how fashion is so central to us / our self-expression #and I want in on that #not even in an effort to overhaul my daily style or anything. genuinely just experimenting bc why tf not. #it’s why I’ve been trying to gravitate to fun and flirty and playful campaigns more and more even if it’s out of my comfort zone #simple is good. simple is my favorite. but I want to be more curious in general #p

sometimes you'll meet a person you've loved for so long, and then they will tell you they haven't felt the same about you. And you'll question them and gain so much clarity, that the love flies straight out of the window.

some people are meant to be lovers. some best friends. some good friends. some...just friends.

you think you were meant to be something more, but then you realise that you are only compatible in one way. there's nothing beyond that. and that's also not bad. it's not a downgrade, it's what's meant to be.

#i took someone seriously and i ended up falling for them badly lmao #turns out they like me and admire me but don't feel anything more. #i thought they'd confessed to me before but they'd meant things CASUALLY #the moment i heard that i was enlightened #now i'm pretty sure there is no universe that we are meant to be and i'm happy about that #nahi chahiye aise lovers bc #'casual' small talk friends ab naya label hai humara. it's not bad #it's just very gen z #but i'm at peace and so are they - win/win? #i'm not going to be someone on the backburner anymore so i'm happy #play hard feelings by lorde #i will enjoy life knowing there are so many different dynamics i am yet to experience w people #desiblr #being desi

The historian in me has a weird relationship with nostalgia because I spend my days reading about a world where people walked twenty miles a day and survived on candles made of whale grease and meanwhile my generation's Kids These Days discourse is like "back when I was a kid, we...mostly still had phones and internet...but they were shittier"

#history #I just love when someone goes off about GEN Z IS SOFT IN THE 90S WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO DOWNLOAD AND SOMETIMES IT DIDN'T WORK #I know I know smart phones were a revolution but still

''it's not straight up bullying or harrassment, it's just criticism!!!''

My brother in Christ, the artist literally had to delete/deactivate all of their soc media because of how much harrassment they were getting (including threats). Terminally online Gen Z will obsessively persecute an artist for something problematic they drew like half a decade ago, gaslight their apology posts, threaten them and when said artist deactivates and gets heavily affected irl they say ''oh they can't handle the criticism''. This is straight up vile and unexcusable behaviour. You're not doing the fandom a favour, you're not helping anyone, you're only turning this place even more toxic and quite literally ruining people's lives who never had the intention to interact with you in the first place. You use self-righteousness and morals as a disguise to bully and harass people because apparently that gives a sense of control in your miserable life. The block button exists as a way to curate your internet experience because anywhere, with no exceptions, there will be people with different opinions, POVs and morals than you, and bullying a person to forcibly cater to your morals is completely delusional and a waste of time.

I don't care if I lose followers for this, but if you harass, bully or threaten content creators in any way or agree with these actions, block me.

#discourse #vent #i dont usually engage with drama but im so fucking pissed off with this fandom #how can you sleep at night knowing the person you harrassed might never feel safe again to create content or engage w people online again #you gen Z kids need to step out of your perfect morally-right bubble and touch some grass #there will always be problematic content or things that you dont like anywhere on the internet if you feel uncomfy just block and move on #might delete later

Don't get me wrong, I love having a smartphone but... there was something about this era of cell phones that was just so... texture

📞.📞||📞.📞||📞.📞

#I know they still exist. I know i could still buy one and use it. I get that #But now... a smart phone isn't just something fancy you can have anymore. Not on a campus setting anyway. It's a necessity #If a teacher decides to throw a QR code out. puts something on the board and says 'take a picture if you need to' #If they decide to do do a Kahoot game. If you wanna follow along with their powerpoint and don't have your laptop/doesn't fit on the desk #When I got my first tracfone other kids had smart phones. but I didn't feel like I NEEDED one. I miss that. #I was so grateful for that phone. I loved it. The way it fit in my hands. The feel of the buttons. It's litle screen. #I miss when that was all I needed to get by. But now we're expected to have more. how could i live without my smartphone now... oh dear #cell phones #old cell phones #y2k nostalgia #gen z life #millenial nostalgia #nostalgia #nostalgic #nostalgiacore #memorycore #childhood #childhoodcore #gen z things #2000s nostalgia #early 2000s #90s nostalgia #90s kid #90s kids #2000s kid #2000s kids #old tech #y2k #y2kcore #retro tech

do a majority of bi women end up with men or do you just see two women together and label them lesbians?

#g talks #sick of the biphobia on the goddamn gen z app (tiktok) #someone made a joke that brittany broski laughed at #so now we all have to find it funny #basically saying all bi women date are men #and it’s one thing to make a joke about it if you’re bi #but it was a gay man playing with a biphobic stereotype and it just wasn’t funny #because sure bi people found it funny #but so did homophobes and biphobes #so it wasn’t funny to me #biphobia #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog

people should be able to dance however they want without being ridiculed because it's one of the basic joys of being a human and so many people are afraid to really let loose and enjoy themselves because people will mock them for how they dance.

Especially in the age of ubiquitous recording devices you might even end up in a video on the internet for thousands of people to laugh at

#literally idc if someone is on beat or not #if they're having fun #that's what matters #don't take that enjoyment of simple things away from them just because it's cool to be mean #it's part of why some clubs won't allow phones #people should feel safe to drop their guard an enjoy themselves a bit #probably also why I've heard gen z in the US don't really dance at clubs

Sorry to clash two of my nerdy obsessions together but I must say this:

Spock calling Kirk "Captain" in my opinion has the same exact vibes and energy as Crowley calling Aziraphale "Angel". It just feels like they're the same y'know?

They're both titles as to who Kirk and Aziraphale actually are [the captain of a starship and an angel of literal God] and both Crowley and Spock use them almost endearingly. I love it sm

#star trek #jim kirk #spock #spirk #ineffable husbands #good omens #aziraphale #aziracrow #crowley #Both couples are absolute cuties #i love and live for them #i just had this thought at midnight and I am awful at impulse control and keeping things to myself #my parents say that it's the gen-z of me #which- fair

its kind of crazy how tumblr culture did a complete 180 somewhere between 2018 and 2020 and most of this website has stopped being proud of how miserable they are and instead the general mindset is now all about finding beauty in the smallest things and loving yourself despite it all i hope we all never stop thinking this way

#i think we were kind of on our way there and then the pandemic really solidified it #there was (and is) just so much misery around that loving life despite it all is now exactly as contrarian as hating yourself once was #ironically the thing that made me fully realise this is dan howells comeback to the internet lol he has that distinctly 2016 humour #and all the comments are 'nooo dan. we no longer hate ourselves here its no longer cool to be miserable' #he literally gets called cringe for having low self-esteem which is kind of hysterical. sorry to dan howell but i genuinely love that #distinctly gen z to bully someone into no longer hating themselves lmfaoooo #personal
