Genji: [stepping out of a shadow as he begins to softly glow green, underscored by a gentle hiss of steam] brother stop being so dramatic
Hanzo: [standing in a gentle breeze as the smoke from the incense he lit wafts around him, softly releasing a clutched handful of sparrow feathers into the wind while a single tear rolls down his cheek] I’m never dramatic
George Michael’s life was constantly trailed by homophobic media that painted him as a sexual deviant and a drug addicted train wreck “corrupted” by the gay lifestyle. In reality, George Michael was an artist who, for a large portion of his life, was forced to hide his sexuality and live a lie in a pre-millennium society that emotionally punished anybody whose orientation challenged heteronormative expectations. Let us not forget the paths paved by people like George Michael: those who bravely came out during a time when closet doors were locked from the outside.
But, here’s the catch: one of them, the one who recorded the “aftermath” of them being escorted off the plane, is YouTuber Adam Saleh, who is a “YouTube prankster” by profession and is known for doing this kind of thing regularly, i.e. filming pranks on planes for clicks on YouTube. As it so happens, his most recent video was even within the last few days.
Examples:
So the way I see it, either karma came back to bite him in the ass, or this is another one of his “pranks” and he’s manipulating social media and slandering an entire multi-billion dollar corporation to accomplish it.
And, just learning this now, He also apparently makes those trash-ass “PRANKS IN THE HOOD” racist prank videos and calls black people “Abeed” which basically means “slave” in Arabic.
i’m so exhausted lmao
Yikes wtf
It’s been confirmed by everyone else on the plane that he apparently stood up three times, yelling something loudly in Arabic, and sat back dow, each time he was waiting for either passangers or the flight crew to react and when they finally did he said he was talking to his mom on the phone. This sort of shit puts more people in danger and reinforces the racist narrative that racism is simply about people of color playing the victim. This dude needs to be made an example of tbh because lying about this sorta thing goes so far beyond what could even be considered remotely okay so if you reblogged the video of him lying, reblog this too, and make sure his stupid ass face isn’t ever mistaken for a decent human being again.
Fuck this guy.
OH GOD DAMNIT
A lot of people put themselves on the line to advocate for this guy. People received harassment and spent emotional energy and used their online spaces to discuss AT LENGTH this whole situation.
This is a post aimed at me and other people who constantly fall into guilt spirals over all the things they can’t do, and feel they should somehow magically be able to do anyway.
For me, and for the others, this is a gentle reminder:
– Posts asking for monetary donations are speaking to people who have money. Not your broke ass, still worrying how to buy food next month.
– Posts asking you to care about [extreme injustice of the day] are speaking to people who have energy to care. Not you, hanging onto your sanity by the fingernails.
And, most importantly: posts telling you that you are horrible/cheap/awful/rude/unworthy/unlikable if you don’t pay/reblog/signal boost/care? Those posts can fucking die in a fire.
TL;DR: Posts asking for shit you are not physically or mentally able to give?
