#so many cool kids just throw around the nword for funsies

[rudystree]

ok before i start. yes i am stalking your blog. i like your blog! i’m bored and i’m stalking it. because once again i like it here! let’s get that out of the way in case this conversation goes sideways and i get a bunch of comments about how i’m a waste of space with no life stalking you.

i understand that people who hate on elaine take it too far 99% of the time. she’s literally just a girl, dating a guy and doing her best. she takes great photos and who cares if she’s in a room labelled cast only. i’m sure if she was unwanted, she wouldn’t be in there. i’m sure if the cast didn’t like her, she wouldn’t be photographed with them all the time.

but i came across this post and i just had to say something. because yes, elaine used those words a long time ago and it looks like she’s educated herself to be better. but the way you answered that ask (not mine by the way) is so condescending, rude and insensitive. i’m trying to be respectful but i’m not going to sugarcoat my words because the things elaine has said are not just words. and although u did acknowledge that they’re inappropriate i can’t help but feel like you’re diminishing how harmful they are. do you know that the n word can be traced back to slavery? that even after slaves were emancipated it was used to vilify black people and turn them into an uncivilized and animalistic race? that it’s been ringing in the ears of black people during lynchings and civil rights riots and the “war on drugs”? it is not just a word. but it is a word used by the kkk. and it’s a word that a lot of people who were storming the white house that day were yelling. i’m sure elaine has changed. i’m sure she would never use that word now. but if i’m giving her the benefit of the doubt i have to give that anon the benefit of the doubt as well. and by that i mean that i’m assuming that they’re not one of those people who send elaine death threats or talk badly about her physical appearance. because A LOT of people who dislike elaine are not those people. they’re people who are just hurt that so much love and attention is going towards someone who’s said those awful things and that people go to such extents to defend her when we can’t even get the same reactions from those people when we’re shot on the street by cops. im not saying elaine deserves all the hate. but you can’t say that every single person who dislikes her and brings up what’s she done is a jealous fan girl. and it’s not your place to say that we should be doing something that actually helps. we’re doing more than anyone else is and putting more into this cause than anyone else because we’re living it.

Wow okay well first of all thank you for liking my blog! 🫶 & I love it when ppl stalk my blog hehe

I also appreciate you sending a very respectful message. But that’s the problem when you’re looking back at older posts, because the context in which I answered them was that I did NOT receive respectful asks about Elaine. These were people in my inbox telling me over and over again that she is a monster and deserves to die. For jokingly using inappropriate words as a teenager. I stand 100% behind saying that this is absolutely vile and disproportional.

Of course I am aware of black history, but again, her allegedly having used the n-word around a friend in high school doesn’t mean she actually hate-crimed anyone ffs💀

I hate to break it to you, but most people have said dumb shit when they were younger. Chase, Carlacia, Madison, Drew, etc., they’ve ALL said problematic shit. To assume that someone is undeserving of love, attention or happiness in life for things they cannot change is cruel. Obviously they don’t deserve endless praise for correcting their behaviour now. But you have to acknowledge it if you’re gonna keep bringing up the old shit.

If you keep looking down my blog, I’ve answered a billion times that I don’t condone her past actions and that anyone is free to dislike her. But constantly fucking obsessing over her every move after all these years of her proving that she is nothing like that anymore is absolutely absurd. It is 100% my place to tell ppl who incessantly bully her to shut the fuck up. They are welcome to bitch about her anywhere else, but not on my blog and not in her comments.
