#and i cannot stand the attitude that just bc they haven't explicitly stated something

[dreamhot]

actually you know what i'm gonna say it with my whole chest

imagine if people demanded this sort of performative activism from actors, or musicians, or whoever else is in the spotlight. why are fans suddenly demanding that these twitch streamers become the face of activism for every single issue? like christ yeah it's good to get vocal support from your faves, especially given how prevalent discrimination and oppression still are across the board, but WHY are we expecting these young mc players to be the voice of change? they didn't sign up for this. they probably don't have the right knowledge or vocab to speak on these nuanced issues. that's not to say they're immune to criticism, but it does make one wonder why we're holding them up as these paragons of virtue. if people were to direct their energy toward uplifting actual activists - or supporting existing causes - i think we'd see a lot more productive growth
