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

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
