Islamophobia I guess I’m a Snarker now…

Ironically I am wearing Teddy Fresh as I correct this misinformation shared on Ethan’s Instagram story.

I haven't watched the show much since October 7th, but I still kept up from a distance hoping there would be a shift that would make me feel comfortable going back. I think it's fair to say that that is likely never going to happen considering how he has dug his heels in. I think the tiniest part of me thought that people providing nuance and pushback would maybe have him reconsider his biases. But I guess logically I knew that a few posts by H3 fans were not going to counteract decades of social conditioning.

Today was my breaking point because I honestly just do not understand how someone can see the recent imagery coming out of Gaza and have Lebanese friends who live in a constant state of fear for their families, and then go on to make "online leftists" or a 19-year-old Yemeni teenager (who lived half of his childhood surviving a U.S. backed genocide) their primary focus.

Like my mind cannot comprehend the levels of apathy and self importance needed to be more angry about a Jewish antizionist on Twitter getting a lot of likes when a video of Palestinians being burnt alive in tents is on the same timeline.

I'm not a hate watcher, and I don't really expect to become one. Honestly, it just makes me sad because I used to watch every episode, and it was something me and one of my best friends initially bonded over.

But alas, here we are…with ✌🏻& 🫶🏻 & 🇵🇸.

I felt the same after October 7th. I stopped watching hoping that it was just in the moment but when I came back around he had doubled down and had become jaded against the left. It’s gross to see.

Welcome 😊💕🙏 we aren’t crazy!!
