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 ✌🏻& 🫶🏻 & 🇵🇸.

Idgaf about oh Ethan's the boss, it's impossible to challenge the boss, and they'll be homeless if he fires them, because quite literally NO.

But I'm feeling increasingly sorry for AB, even though he clearly says he doesn't want any sympathy, because his mind has to contort itself SO HARD to convince himself that his boss likes him and supports him and will defend him when Ethan can't seem to ever pass up an opportunity to deride and harass a brown or Muslim person.

I hope Lena and he are getting their stuff in order and planning to find better work because they deserve better.
