Accountability in Entertainment • Page 457

I think it’s the context of the whole post showing the kind of person he is with that and then with whatever the deal with his girlfriend is. Sounds like a piece of shit. The family drama obviously isn’t our business though.

 

well yeah but liek transphobia is bad

 

Not sure where you’re getting transphobia from that. It just makes him sound like an asshole.

 

idk i saw trans sibling and just ran with it. i aint reading all that. idk who that is

 

Awesome contribution to the thread

 

ok so i went back and read it and how am i wrong

 

this is the first i'm hearing about any of this business so i don't know if there's any deeper context; but for him to say he's "so grateful to know" his own sibling, but then he hasn't even spoken to them in a year, comes across kinda performative.

like, is Dylan trying to make himself look good that he has a trans sibling, even though he's apparently dating someone homophobic and didn't check in on his sibling after they had surgery? apparently Dylan is playing a queer character in a movie coming up (i'll have to look more into this)

 

Performative yes absolutely but that doesn’t equal him being transphobic

regarding his girlfriend, I see an Instagram comment with someone saying they heard from other people that she has horrible views. Idk who she is. Feels dumb to discuss.

 

if a relative stopped talking to me after my transition i'd probably think they were transphobic too

 

That is exactly the point of the whole thing. That doesn't mean he's transphobic though. Means he's using his sibling to prop himself up while also being a shit brother. Could he be? Yeah. But nothing in there says transphobe.

 

Yeah absolutely but family business isn’t our assumption to make

 

yeah, i'm not calling him out as transphobic or anything but those are just my quick thoughts after reading Julz's comment

 

That's making assumptions on their relationship. Not talking to your sibling isn't transphobic unless we know that's the reason why. We don't know that and even if he is an asshole, it's not right to make claims about him with zero evidence.

 

I think trans people are pretty good at identifying transphobia

 

Trans people get to use the same evidence as the rest of us. And as I said, there's no info in that tweet that tells why he doesn't talk to his sibling. We know he has a shitty girlfriend and he uses his sibling to be a performative trans ally. But again, there's nothing in that tweet except what people are making assumptions about.

 

We really just don’t have to do this

 

We really don't have to make assumptions of celebs' personal lives and make shit up without any evidence. Dude is an asshole, that's obvious. There is no reason to accuse him of shit we don't have any evidence of. It's really that simple.

And you know what, he probably is a transphobe. But we have no way of knowing that right now.

 

Dude just let it go. Trans people smell transphobia. Maybe they’re wrong but I’m pretty comfortable always betting they’re right

 

Yeah I'm sorry but you don't get to accuse people of shit based off of smell. And as I said, they probably are right. But you don't get to state that as fact, especially when the initial accusation was without even reading the tweet.

This isn't some trans people are wrong shit. It's assuming shit with no evidence and stating it as fact. That applies to everyone.

 

I don't think it really matters what brush he gets tarred with. Guy's an asshole. Let him do the work to prove people wrong.

 

Dude is an asshole. But what is he wrong? He's not a shit brother? We don't know. It's also not our business. It's wild that I have to explain to people that accusing people of shit based on your assumptions is wrong. I'm out of here.

 

Jesus. I’ve never suspected someone of being homophobic and been wrong. His sibling basically said they’re being used for clout. I believe them!

 

You're getting extremely heated, and I don't think this is an argument worth getting this upset about. Maybe taking a step back to have a breather is the right idea.

 

Last thing I'll say on the subject. I said he was using his sibling for clout many times. Amazingly doesn't mean he's transphobic. Crazy concept I know. It just proves he's a fake dickhead

 

This isn't extremely heated. It's calling out bullshit.
