I wasn't gonna say anything about this, but I need to get this off my chest:
Do I think Keanu Reeves is a zionist? Not really
Do I think people have a right to be angry or concerned given the photo and his silence? Absolutely
It'd be great if he showed support for Palestine or called for a ceasefire, but honestly I'm not holding my breath since I feel like he's more likely to stay silent. If that does happen, I'll happily be wrong, but until then I'm gonna try and be optimistic but a little wary. Either way I'm planning on pirating Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and you should too 馃崏
The thing that pisses me off about Keanu as Shadow with him having ties to Isreal and all that is that the ties are so fucking tenuous that if he just got off his ass and said, "hey yeah fuck those guys," then this wouldnt be a conversation. (Well hes still working with Paramount but bear with me here.)
He was at a party that the shithead PM was also at, and he got some movie-combat training from a former IDF guy (Aaron Cohen, his twitter is a fucking cess pit).
That's, as far as I can tell, is it.
But the silence. The silence is the problem. Keanu could so easily speak up and decry this shitty colonizer violence. Fucking any of these "celebrities" could. Start a fucking movement. But they're cowards, or ignorant, or just fucking zionists.
I've kept my mouth shut about shit cus I'm some dumbass Canadian white chick who's too stressed to go to work some days let alone talk publically about major world issues that are way beyond me, and for what it's worth I like to have my blog be a nice place where people can come in and enjoy some tits.
But I'm sick of ignorance and cowardice. Get educated and speak up.
Shadow's voice lines in Team Sonic Racing are so funny because a lot of them are really aggressive sounding and he's kind of mean, but then suddenly you're hit with "You did okay, Amy~" in this really soft tone like EXCUSE ME?
You know that scene in Turning Red where Mei was drawing her crush and rolls under her bed to hide from her own shame but just keeps drawing? Yeah so that but Zuko drawing Katara when he gets his notebook back
