“billy’s homophobic” has to be one of the most unserious takes

“B-B-B-BUT self proclaimed star & leader of his own show Tyler Posey has been abused and harassed by ungrateful critics and Teen Wolf fans for years!”

Anonymous: “John Boyega didn’t say anything that Daisey Ridley or Adam Driver didn’t say about Reylo…which mirrors when Tyler Hoechlin and Dylan O'Brien said negative things about Sterek” You know the difference? Daisy’s and Adam’s characters are part of the ship. Dylan’s and Hoechlin’s characters are part of the ship. They have right to criticize their own ships. But John and Tyler Posey had nothing to do with Reylo and Sterek. Nothing. So their opinion of THE OTHER ACTORS’ ships don’t matter.

@thehollowprince:

I would live to love in whatever little fantasy world you seem to live in where it’s that simple.

For years, we watched as fans harassed Tyler Posey (and the entire cast) about Sterek. Interviews and cons and tweets: “What about Sterek? Is Sterek gonna be canon? How does Scott feel about Sterek? Is Scott jealous of Stiles and Derek?” Over and over and over again until Tyler Posey said the very simple “if you’re watching for that (Sterek), you’re watching for the wrong reasons.” He didn’t say anything disparaging about the crack ship (because that’s what it was). He didn’t slander either Hoechlin or O'Brien (or their characters) he just said something that indicated he was both tired of be asked that question (something that didn’t involve his character at all) and an indication that it wasn’t going to happen on the show.

And for that, we also watched as he was sent death threats and horrible remarks about his mother as she battle cancer and died, all because he didn’t cow tail to a bunch of rabid shippers who had nothing better to do than harass an actor over a crack ship.

@bigskydreaming:

You guys can’t say these ships have nothing to do with them when you’re the ones who insisted on making them have something to do with ships that didn’t even involve them.

They both - and countless other actors of color - tried to stay away from your bullshit ships and just do their own thing.

YOU WOULDN’T LET THEM.

So guess what?

When you consistently, repeatedly, rabidly make people who want to take pride in their own work, talk about their own characters, their own ships, talk 24/7 about ships that have absolutely nothing to do with them or their characters….. eventually, they get fed up! And that’s even without the constant harassment they’re bombarded with under the flimsiest of excuses.

And lol, if ‘their opinions don’t matter’ because it doesn’t involve them then why would any of you care at all what they said about your beloved ships in the first place?

Own the fact that your shit stinks, it doesn’t follow any consistent logic because its not based in logic, its based in racism.

@princeescaluswords:

To be more specific, Tyler Posey’s quote came the week after Riddled (3x18) premiered, one of the most powerful episodes in the series. This episode focused on Stiles’ relationship with his father and Stiles’ relationship with Lydia and, most of important of all, Stiles’ relationship with Scott McCall. People talk about the scene in the MRI room in that episode all the time. People talk about Dylan O’Brien’s amazing acting in that episode all the time.

Yet, the question Tyler Posey was asked was about Stiles and Derek’s romance, a pair of characters who hadn’t had a scene together all that season.

Yeah, that’s weird. Tyler Posey wasn’t asked this question by an over-excited fan, but by a professional interviewer. That interviewer either didn’t know what he was talking about or didn’t care.

Yeah, that’s bizarre. It was like asking John Boyega about Dameron Poe’s romantic intentions toward Kylo Ren.

Yeah, that’s twisted. This ship had dominated, was dominating, and continues to dominate the fandom, but – and this display the absolute lack of empathy on the part of fandom – it was never part of the show.

Ship Sterek all you want. Ship it well, ship it poorly, have it inscribed on your grave. But if you can’t tell how annoyed a professional actor might be to find out that a number of viewers have fixated on something that didn’t exist, then I think you were watching for the wrong reasons.

Antis’ blatant lies and infamous racism aside, (trying to compare talented A-list actor who respects women John Boyega to talentless D-list celebrity who uses the racist “hood rats” slur on social media and violates women’s privacy, boundaries and consent just for shits and giggles Tyler Posey, really? That’s a huge disservice to Boyega as a man and as a professional actor)

Ever noticed that both Tyler Posey/Scott McCall and his stans are literally OBSESSED with Dylan O’Brien/Stiles Stilinski & Tyler Hoechlin/Derek Hale and have the creepy habit of speaking on other people’s behalf in an attempt to validate their own pathological jealousy, entitlement and self-important temper tantrums? ________________________________________________________________ I’ve said before that I don’t like to go behind the scenes of Teen Wolf, that I prefer to discuss the story and not the actors. Because we don’t know them, we know them through Social Media, which can be manipulated and changed so often that it’s no longer the truth. It’s why I won’t blacklist TP, I don’t like to speculate on things I don’t know anything about.  What I do know, I’ve watched the interview, is that he said more than the Hollow prince claims he said. His exact words were: “I think that Sterek is a bizarre, weird, twisted thing. And I think that anyone who pays more attention to Sterek than the show isn't watching the show for the right reasons. And that's all I have to say about that.” It wasn’t smart to say. He had every reason to dislike a ship made by fans but to call them out on it, his own fans, and make them feel ashamed about it, was the wrong thing. The guy was barely an adult though and I think people forget teens of that particular generation are just like most teens on Tumblr. Self absorbed, quick to be triggered, quick to kick something down hard. If I see the questions actors are asked on comic cons, like Supernatural and pretty much all Fandoms, I often wonder where the respect is. TP shouldn’t have been asked about Sterek repeatedly, nobody should have been so insistent and TP shouldn’t have said what he said.  It was in season 3, so it’s been many years ago. Let it go. Would you like it if you’d be constantly blamed for a mistake you made when you were a stupid kid just because the evidence is there?
