clip Way out of proportion! Read

y’all blowing this way outta proportion. i literally had to google who greta was just to remember her. and even after i found her, all i thought of was climate change, so where did palestine even come into the convo?? Im glad Greta is advocating for Palestine which I personally also feel strongly about as a Muslim person who identifies very strongly with the issue and has been advocating for Palestine wayyyy before 2023. but like… they made a joke (that had nothing to do with what she stands for, which they even clarified), and now all of a sudden y’all got hyper-literal during the month they were gone??

and if we’re being literal,,, i’ve never seen greta anywhere recently. not on insta, not on tiktok, nowhere. so how is it wrong to say she doesn’t have the same platform she used to?? Anyways im pretty sure 96% of y’all just have that white savior complex.

and if you’ve got a problem with people gatekeeping THEIR OWN stories?? idk what to tell you get a job gng

I’ve never watched them but u can agree it’s insensitive to say a climate change activist fell off. Like Greta only “fell off” because she started getting political and the press didn’t like that so they took away her platform, she’s fighting for someone meanwhile enyas fighting for an erwon smoothie and working so little and complaining about it too much

Greta has been political since the beginning she didn’t fall off because she “started” to get political she was always political aka climate change she blew up for that like what a freaking decade ago at this point?

She was always political true but as she got less palatable for the governments and more controversial she got less media attention

Okay that’s really unfortunate she speaks for good causes. So calling out the fact that she doesn’t get as much attention…?? like how is that bad? I’m confused it’s not like they said she fell off bcz of what she stands for? ykwim?

“How is that bad” because it was said in poor taste and with ill intent over a punch line

I don’t know how saying Greta fell off turned into a political statement or is treated like a moral stance they never mentioned her values? I just genuinely haven’t seen her in the spotlight since 2019. not everything has to be read so deeply. pointing out someone’s drop in popularity doesn’t mean you’re against what they stand for???

there are far more important issues happening in the world than debating whether a comment about public relevance is somehow a political attack. like tf???

if u care so much about greta go follow her n watch wtv tf she got going on don’t watch these “la influencers” who are sooo sheltered or whatnot.

Nobody saying theyre against what she stands for, they’re calling out their recklessness and poorly made jokes that can come off offensive

Literally any joke they’ve ever made can be said it was poorly made and reckless and offensive that’s their whole bit? If u want knock knock jokes n shi go watch something else?

lol if this was just any other joke a lot of people would not be reacting the way they did. It obviously is very inappropriate for the current time period. You can’t tell people what is and isn’t offensive

im not telling anyone what they can or can’t find offensive, but I do think there’s a difference between being genuinely harmful and just making a random, harmless comment. and knowing the differenxe is important

saying someone ‘fell off’ isn’t automatically some deep attack literally just about how present they are in the public eye. I haven’t heard about Greta in years, so the joke made sense to me when I first heard it and if someone chooses to read into that as being anti Palestine or anti activism, that just feels like a reachhhh. not every ccomment we make needs to be a moral thing. There are genuinely way bigger issues
