yeah, all of this, I don't think those people thought about even an inch of what they were doing and it was frankly not only unfair but also damn cruel...

Cruel indeed. All they see is a celebrity who acts like other people and they don't understand that underneath the characters he plays, he is a living breathing FEELING person who can be and has been hurt by misinformation. So many times.

He has been working with UNICEF since before some of these people were even born. Helping people in war ravaged countries get vital aid. He cared before 7th October, when it became 'trendy' for kids to be performative activists. The reality is, it's great to be aware and join in on activism, but...

...what they did was try to smear a celebrity who actually does damn well care. Knows a lot more about the history of the situation and for longer than the majority of them. It's like walking into an old people's home of WW2 veterans and saying fascism is bad. www.unicef.org.uk/celebrity-su...

this, yes, and this is why I think Michael well damn did the right thing of staying away instead of taking that trash. He doesn't need to prove a shit, his work does, and if they're too lazy to look it up, and would rather hate on him instead, well... well done, have a gold star.

Yesss. Exactly. He is a rarity in that he puts his money where his mouth is. He stands up for the needy and gives a voice, and crucially, proactively HELPS those who need it. I couldn't be more proud to be his fan and share his nationality. People who refuse to see his goodness are jealous.

he's just a human being. a very kind, a very benevolent, but still a human being. and I think people forget that way too often.

Exactly love. People do forget he is reap. We make jokes but he is. And the thing is, he still loves his fans to bits. Remember the time recently when he came out to defend a fan from a scam account? He deserves so much better β€οΈ

Ps. Sorry for this almost rant. I saw many friends who supported him at the time being sent all sorts of things, harassing them off the platform by the mob. It still hurts how fast the tide changed. The person who deleted their hate tweets and pleaded it was just 'oh no' used to be a friend!

oh ouch? π«π«π«I don't even know who the main yapper was, I saw too many of them (and frankly, at this point I don't even want to know...). It was too much for me to even follow at the time, like a swarm of nasty comments, I just moved to bluesky and didn't look back, it was too much...

I'm glad it's a bit healthier here at least, the block feature works and the block lists seem to ward of the worst of it... I just keep all of this in mind when seeing Michael detaching himself from this fandom, because he has a very good reason to do that

This wasn't a main yapper. But her story is used to try to justify their hatred of him for (checks notes) defending himself. I do have the main yapper's name, and I have her blocked everywhere. Including new accounts for when she got suspended for sending him death threats and wishing it on him.

I'm glad you didn't look back. It is much smoother over here. I had the luck to speak to Michael and I said how glad I was to see him move over here. His smile was telling when he said "I thought it was for the best"... idk, I hope he is more active over here, but with more of a wide berth from fans

It makes me so sad that people who say they love Aziraphale hate Michael. It's just so unfair that they did this. It was cruel and completely unfair and so troubling. I have no words. I am so sorry you knew people who turned like this :(

Oh me too, love. It is bonkers to me tbh how someone can still be a fan of Az and separate him from Michael. Imo they are so bloody similar to each other. And Az has Michael's face! βοΈ They just can't have truly liked him enough to think before reacting emotionally. I'm sorry, too. We got on..

Iβm just going to leave this here, basically how I felt (& still feel) about the situation with Michael
