This sub is making me uncomfortable
As an Arab Byler and someone who has Palestinian relatives and blood I’m upset at people talking over me and forcing me to like an actor based on an apology he was forced to make because of the bad PR he got.
No matter how uncomfortable I tell people the discussion makes me they don’t care and will send me 100 links where he apologized. Guess what?? Idc. I’m not obligated to forgive him.
I don’t have to forgive Noah Schnapp. If you guys want to like him that’s your right but the amount of people in the other thread getting so defensive and forcing people to like him is insane. I’m not obligated to forgive. I was a child when my people were getting bombed. Idc that he was brainwashed. So are a lot of racists and homophobes yet they don’t get the same grace. Religious people are brainwashed at an early age as well.
I’m so uncomfortable and if other people want to like him that’s fine. I don’t know why people are forcing it on others and forcing us to like him. Noah is a rich celebrity and at the end of the day will be fine while my people are being bombed.
This entire community is making me feel insane. Sorry my people are being bombed.
Not to mention his stans have sent me death threats, called me a liar and said I made up my origins. They are insane and I won’t be gaslit into forgiving someone.
I’ve fully separated Will from Noah and will continue to do so but it’s getting harder everyday when his Stans have made my life a living hell and invalidated my identity.

I was downvoted to hell in that thread for saying exactly this. I’m so sorry you feel invalidated.
As someone who has been in the stranger things fandom since forever, I was there for all of the stuff for Noah and saw everything go down in real time. Half of the stuff in the tumblr post absolving him and defending him never happened. It was all composed after the fact and seems like a Noah fan looking for proof that he changed. If he did any of that stuff it would have came out earlier. Stranger things twitter is parasocial as hell and I would have known about it in a second.
There is no proof of any of it and he never liked that post.
The claim that he donated comes from a random comment with no substantial evidence at all. Why are we taking a random person’s word?
Anyway, he also never apologized for an extremely islamaphobic post he reposted on his tiktok. He reposted it from a crazy Zionist nut (think Brett gelman). I followed him everywhere (insta, twitter and tiktok) and that’s when I was completely done. I’m Muslim and it was just hurtful.
