look. im not going to blindly defend every shitty decision halsey’s ever made because guess what? she’s 1) young and newly famous and 2) mentally ill in a way which sometimes causes people to make rash/impulse decisions so yeah she’s fucked up on occasion. im also not going to say people are in the wrong for disliking her for personal reasons bc that’s fine, there’s plenty of celebrities im not fond of either.

but you know what? bullying her with such intensity and vitriol that she felt the need to delete her twitter is not fucking okay. having every second post in the tags both on twitter and tumblr be about how “overrated” and “extra” she is isn’t okay. constantly accusing her of being “just another white girl” (she is biracial) or “faking mental illness” (she’s not) or “faking bisexuality for attention” (she’s not!) is not okay.

regardless of your feelings about her as a person, i think we can all agree there’s something wrong when a young woman is so afraid to have an internet presence in a highly hostile environment that she deletes her existing, long-established profile. i hope the people who participated in bullying her are ashamed of themselves.
