Reading through the comments that are defending her is actually alarming.
“Why comment anything negative”
“Just scroll on if she says something you don’t like”
“Block her and don’t watch”
So what you’re saying is, we shouldn’t ever call out anyone’s behaviour or criticise something they say, in case it upsets them? We should just let people continue to spout hate speech, or let them carry on bullying people and being nasty to them?
I can guarantee you there isn’t a single person in this thread who has never said something they shouldn’t have, or acted out of character and has had to apologise afterwards. But as decent human beings we HAVE TO keep calling this shit out and make each other think about what they say and do. I have seen it IN THESE THREADS where people have said something about Eden that crossed a line and other people have commented to say it wasn’t ok. I’ve reported comments on Tattle that have used slurs. It’s not acceptable. I’ve called out my friends face to face for remarks they’ve made, if we don’t do this we can’t do better.
Not allowing people to constructively criticise each other is dangerous and harmful. If I just found Eden boring or she posted videos about things I wasn’t into, yes I would just scroll past and ignore it, like I do with 50% of my “for you” page. But Eden has shown time and time again that she isn’t a nice person and demonstrates hateful and harmful behaviour online in front of young, impressionable people, and I’m not ok with that, so I will keep calling it out and I’ll keep criticising until she accepts she needs to seriously sort out her attitude and think about what she’s doing.
