Twitter comes after KJ Apa for being "too silent" about BLM

I don't think Celine Dion has done enough either. Let's get her!

Twitter and instagram need to die fast!

Babs hasn't done enough!

Too apathetic?

[Quote] "If dylan o’brien can post about blm after years of posting nothing. kj apa can post more than a black square," one Twitter user wrote

I was waiting for that comparison lol

[Quote] Another user argued, "KJ Apa has been silent for weeks, but the moment he said something, he just put himself under fire. He could have humbly recognized his inaction and listened and done better, but he just defended his apathy and inaction."

I guess that twitter user can't read 🙄

Has Larry King commented? No one cares what celebs think about any of this.

It's a different story on tumblr and twitter.

Performative activism bugs me, he's right in being "silent" about matters he lacks knowledge in. People should stop looking to celebrities/Hollywood in any of these matters.

And on DL. The thing I remember most about The Pulse Murders is that queen who went on for weeks asking whether a particular celebrity had posted about it. I think he finally stopped at Buddy Ebsen or Dorothy Kilgallen.

All anyone should want from KJ is him showing off his body. No one goes to him to get opinions on world events.

I saw Goody Apa fail to be sufficiently perfomative in his wokeness!

Ugh, this is why I hate the youth of America. These people are a cult.

Kill it.

He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. I’d say 75% of the cringy, over-the-top support posts are made with a gun at the celebrity’s head.

It doesn’t mean anything if people are only showing support because they’re expected to. It’s cheap talk and that’s all it is.

His opinion has zero impact on the world.

You're kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Ones who try to get slammed while others get slammed for not doing enough. I was told that as a white person, my job is to listen, which is what I'm doing.

So much peer pressure.

Are people telling a young actor what to do? Or asking him to tell them what they should do? These are a lot of extracurriculars when also protesting for social justice.

I do not envy celebrities in this age of twitter and instagram. You cannot win.

Sjws are so fucking dumb. Imagine if gay people had angrily demanded every celebrity post about the pulse massicre. Gays wouldbhave gotten their asses handed to them.

Fuck these far leftists.

[quote] I was told that as a white person, my job is to listen, which is what I'm doing.

A twitter user was furious that white people were being quiet when they should use this time to speak up on the issue of racism on that black square day. It's too many opinions coming in. It's maddening.

He dated Josie for a hot minute and she’s the only one from Riverdale who got a spin off show so I say he’s good. Also isn’t he half Samoan, which technically makes him a POC on the same level as Darren Criss? And he’s a Kiwi that films in Canada, hardly someone who has a large USA presence that we should hold responsible for American SJW politics.

" I was told that as a white person, my job is to listen, which is what I'm doing."

At this point, I'm not even doing that.

[quote]I saw Goody Apa fail to be sufficiently perfomative in his wokeness while dancing naked in the woods!

FTFY

Dumdums needy for their negative attention fix are having a field day with this one.

Hijacking legitimate issues to manipulate others into giving them (super duper serious) attention for at LEAST being the ever-so righteous messenger.

The real issue here is that his body has atrophied during quarantine. What good is he now??

Obama had the perfect response to this "call-out culture." This is from last year, but I just saw it posted on Twitter recently.

[quote] "I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated by social media, that the way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people and that's enough. Like if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right, or used the wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself because: 'Man, did you see how woke I was? I called you out.'"

Rw6, Obama's shitty leadership and race baiting is why Call Out culture is as huge as it is.

This thread is dumb. Why care about the whiney cunts of the world? Stop giving them oxygen.

All comments in that article are from white women.

Wasn’t there a recent thread about someone who was calling the Riverdale cast out for using the protests as a photo op? Pick a lane Twitter.

Too Silent? Is that like Most Unique?

Has 90s Country Music Sensation & renowned Cunt Lorrie Morgan commented yet on KJ Apa’s lack of comment on the BLM movement?

This is just obsessive Riverdale freaks whose only concept of reality comes from Twitter. In their tiny corner of the world, the reaction of Archie is the most important thing.

By now, if you don’t get that Black Lives Matter, you won’t. Can we go back to the real problem happening right now? You know, the worldwide pandemic that is destroying livelihoods and killing people?

I’m tired of only talking about police tactics when handling criminals.

I don't know who he is. I've never seen "Riverdale." But it's in his interest to do or say whatever is necessary to placate his white female fans.

I'm surprised it took Twitter this long to notice. The entire casts of Stranger Things and IT were cancelled weeks ago.

Far leftist SJWs are so similar to religious right wingers it’s not even funny. Religious Christian and Muslim idiots like to feel self-righteous and use religion to help them feel this way. Far left SJWs are not religious, but they use social causes in lieu of religion in order to achieve the same self righteousness and indignation that feed their sorry souls. They’re two sides of the same coin. Subscribing to and supporting either side of extremism will give you the same outcome. Authoritarian control of free thoughts and speech if they deviate even slightly from what they deem as correct. It didn’t take them long to now start denouncing people for the sin of not speaking out in favor of espoused ideology. Even wingnut fucks don’t do that shit. Yet we who are social liberals are supposed to support regressive leftists for behaving like violent fundies?

Is his gf of age yet?

R36, actually, the type of social progressivism practiced by the woke left is a religion in all but name for the reasons you state. I wish somebody would name it so we could stop with various epithets, euphemisms and imprecise terminology.

Why are people dying for some white Australian twink from a shitty teen drama to weigh in on 400 years of systemic racism in America?

Apologies ^ he’s actually from New Zealand

Because people sexualize him like all celebs. And there are all types of irrational, fucked up emotions associated with sex.

Has Susan Dey commented yet?

I saw on twitter that someone was calling out a British company that produces audio dramas on CDs for not putting out a statement in support for BLM. Saying how silence is violence. Why the fuck do stupid cunts on twitter think this is at all helpful.

FFS this is so bullshitty.

Oh GAWD! Now everyone who hasn't started a whole social media campaign of self-flagellation is to be brought down!

None of this is productive, and letting people off the hook with their performative antics is actually less then nothing!

I mean Lin-Manuel Miranda, the wealthiest composer/actor ever in the history of Broadway says Broadway is so racist, it should be burnt down! So yeah, he's helping! See?

R26 one of the actors from Teen Wolf tweeted that speech. And he also had to edit his BLM post from just a black square because his fans said to "do more". His mother was defending him in the comments.

There are some like Cole Sprouse who was arrested at a BLM protest and it's claimed to be staying with KJ and Grant Gustin who has posting a lot about BLM have been accused by some of only doing this to save their own ass.

i hate it MORE when these celebs talk about issues they have no business talking about. Yes, I'm looking at you, Jenny McCarthy. Those celebs making that "imagine" video is just...so ridiculous.

I'm not interested enough to actually dive into the thread, but my guess is it's young, white SJWs who are demanding that the KJ Apas of the world speak out on this? Cause I can't really imagine any black folks giving a rat's ass what he thinks.

[Quote] Cause I can't really imagine any black folks giving a rat's ass what he thinks.

Black people are taught who's attractive, just like white people are.

KJ might look white but his father is Samoan and a matai (chief) of his village in Samoa; his mother is a white New Zealander. I think the American BLM need to stop making assumptions based off appearances

So you're saying this is POC in-fighting?

[Quote] Grant Gustin who has posting a lot about BLM have been accused by some of only doing this to save their own ass.

I think that's more to do with the way Flash fans have treated Candice. And the fact that Grant has only just started to acknowledge it.

[quote]So you're saying this is POC in-fighting?

You really think the people throwing hissyfits over this on Twitter are people of color?

[Quote] You really think the people throwing hissyfits over this on Twitter are people of color?

I'm not in a rush to pre-judge. But I think you'd be surprised that pop culture junkies aren't necessarily white.

KJ needs to release a sex tape to make this right.

No bulge. He can keep the sex tape.

He claims 5'9" so probably 5'7".

He claims 5’11” lol.

He probably weighs as much as Tom Holland nowadays.

R57 KJ looks tiny in that photo.

R59 But he still has big dick swagger!

Victim fetish. Victim addiction. Narcissism. These people need lots of therapy.

Has the world gone mad?

Is he gay? He posted a lot of gay stuff on his Insta story.

Agreed, R63. To be fair, some of it has been support for his gay sister.

All the Riverdale people are some of the most overrated people in Hollywood. The only one I can see as having a career after this is the blonde who was in Hustlers.

R65 lol Lili came out as bi recently.

But he's big supporter of HDM

[quote]Sjws are so fucking dumb... Fuck these far leftists.

Most of this isn't being done by "far leftists," R19, but by alt-right and Russian trolls, who have weaponized cancel culture against liberals, in order to take them down - and in order to create the opportunity to say things like "fuck these far leftists" and have unwary moderates agree with them.
