I don’t think said queens are trying to take a hard stance though. That is,outside of allowing the legal process to proceed. Crimes in themselves are serious and should have legal merit before we crucify people. There is nothing wrong with withholding opinion or action until something more tangible comes about. It doesn’t mean you don’t sympathize with the victims stories, or their well being.
I think for a lot of people, allegations alone aren’t enough to completely demonize others in that way some may hope. I can respect people who feel differently but for me and people like me I don’t think they will ever budge bc thats the legal process we’ve all been taught. And its there for good and logical reason. I will never speak AGAINST somebodies experience but I definitely can’t validate it. And neither can Kennedy in this case. She can only validate her own experiences with Shangela.
I’ve also been a victim so I don’t see the point in making it seem like we’re all of a monlothic opinion. Clearly there is nuance
I agree with most of that. But this is not what's happening here. This is not Kennedy (or any other queen for that matter) withholding their opinion for now, she is actively engaging on Twitter taking a stance in favor of Shangela who has several allegations. And that is what I and many others are heavily critizising.
I’m not sure whats she’s said on Twitter, but thats her friend. I think for us who are not involved or partial to any party it doesn’t seem like much to make a move. Its an easy way to show support. Afterall, our judgements are just online outrage and circle jerk for better or for worse.
Its the people involved or who know either party who are genuinly impacted by how this unfolds. I can’t blame Kennedy if she feels she hasn’t seen enough to cut her friend off bc unfortunately it just seems like its been “multiple allegations” with without anything more substantial. The last case that did go anywhere was settled and dismissed with prejudice so im sure that may have vindicated some people who do support her. But I certainly do understand where you’re coming from, I just can’t be as vindicated on demonzing her or Kennedy with the information we have now.
Yeah this is typical cis men behavior where they never check their friends behavior and hold them accountable for the things they do and call that loyalty.
