#weird semiviral tweet! made me really uncomfy tbh!!

[blujayonthewing]

sometimes I think about this twitter exchange that went around awhile back that was like "[actress] SLAM DUNKS rude guy" or whatever

but the "rude guy" was commenting some pretty normal criticism of a movie as a response to someone else's tweet about that movie, and SOME THIRD PARTY was like "Oh yeah??? well why don't you say that to @[actress]'s FACE"

like what the fuck!! why are we spreading this around like some totally deserved epic smackdown!! he wasn't TRYING to be rude to her FACE!! you should be allowed to be unimpressed with someone's acting on social media without the risk of having that person be PERSONALLY SUMMONED TO DESTROY YOU OVER IT

#'I thought that movie was lame/ that acting was bad' is a normal thing to say on twitter #I didn't see even one iteration of that post acknowledge that he was minding his own business #and some other fucking guy dragged the actress into the conversation for literally no reason #I wish I could remember any details about this at all so I could find it again I swear I'm not being so vague on purpose #but the Criticism Guy wasn't being like... racist or misogynist or anything he just said he didn't like her acting #which is? allowed?? that's allowed #not to get too fake deep here but we're all so normalized to the panopticon that everyone's willing to go along with #'well he shouldn't have been rude where she might see it' as if any part of how that exchange went down was normal or reasonable #as if we all haven't at some point been like 'this movie blows' on twitter where someone could theoretically @ the director to tell on you #weird semiviral tweet! made me really uncomfy tbh!! #about me
