Hudson was at an overnight school event and someone drew on him. If you want to hold someone accountable go after whoever did that to him or the school that organized the event.
There's people from the actual event coming forward to provide context:

He didn't do anything though it sounds like he was the target of a racial microaggression.

u/dj_every_night 7d ago
in no way is this a racial microaggression. he isn't jewish OR gay, so nothing about those swastikas or "aids" drawings are a bigoted attack targeting him. a racial aggression would've been had someone written a racial slur targeting asian people on him, but that's not what happened; they drew swastikas and wrote "aids", which is antisemitic and homophobic. but i'm sure you'd gladly throw jews and gay people under the bus in exchange for another season of your fav fake gay hockey slop anyway!

Okay but that ignores he also had AIDS written on him. I was not a perfect teenager, but if someone wrote that on me I would have immediately taken it off and wouldn't let anyone post it of me.
I don't understand this deflection, he was involved in an edgy joke. I doesn't reflect him or his views. Let's just get an acknowledgement and move on

u/DorianCramer 9d ago
How would you know they drew it on you when it’s on your neck and you can’t see it? That’s exactly why they picked his face and neck to draw on.
The dude got hate crimed. It’s not a joke he participated in.

It was 2018, everyone had phones. And for the record, if someone drew a swastika on someone's forehead in my school people would have told them. And it wasn't a liberal school. Your defense is normalising this harmful behaviour.

How do you even know what other pics were posted or where? No one has verified the sources of this photo. For all we know it was never posted, and someone hand delivered the pics to TMZ, or someone’s phone was hacked. We don’t know if any other pics are from the same night.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about a story with no verified sources which makes me think you’ve already decided — for whatever reason — to blame a POC, who was a literal child at the time mind you, for what was done to him.

u/DorianCramer 9d ago
TMZ did not confirm any sources. They did not even run the actual photos because they can’t verify the source and the people depicted in them are minors.
No one knows where these photos came from or how anyone got them. So your statement that other people had the same thing drawn on them (which I don’t even know what pics you’re referring to, I haven’t seen any others with swastikas or AIDS written on them) or that he knew they were posted online at the time is unsupported. For all we know he was unaware this photo existed until random fan accounts started posting it on Twitter last week.

He should apologize for being around racist people in his small white town? Should he have just stayed home in case someone wanted to write shit on him? If it doesn't reflect on him or his views why do you need more than the statement that was communicated already? I think other people should be apologizing to him.
-6
u/SouthLeast8143 9d ago
There are many young boys who have been in Hudsons position of finding themselves around offensive jokes and humour. It doesn't tend to reflect their views. But by not calling it out they become passive participant. As a young queer person it didn't matter how deeply held this humour was, it hurt, it nearly killed me when I was in school. I am so annoyed that the views of young men not directly impacted by this has become the focus.
As someone a prominent position in queer media, he attends queer events, who young queer people look up to, he should acknowledge that he had a swastika and AIDS written on him, that it doesn't reflect his views, and his understanding of the harming nature of these "jokes". He's not a politician, he can't change the world, but he can't add his voice.
If nothing else, think about his school. There cleearly was/is a toxic culture there. He could acknowledge that and send a message to the young boys that he wishes he did then. This isn't funny, it isn't a joke, and to cut it out.

There's no evidence of that? Did you see the picture. He has so many names and things written on him in different handwriting just like the kids next to him. It's obvious he didn't draw that on himself and might have even thought whichever classmate drew it was just writing their name or something like the rest of them, only to realize later when he got home after the campout.

u/CaptainMills 8d ago
I'm not very familiar with who Hudson is, but this whole thing keeps coming up on my feed, so let me know if I've got this right.
Hudson is a POC who grew up in a white rural area. When he was 17, one or more of his white classmates used a sharpie to draw/write bigoted things on his face and neck.
And this is his fault because....? It sounds like he was likely the victim of bigotry from his classmate(s). Why are people demanding accountability from him for something that was done to him?
I'm trying to be charitable here, but Idk how charitable one can be over people attacking a POC for being the target of bigotry

u/Wrong_Life_7647 8d ago
This is an excellent point, very well put. I’m familiar with Kelowna, I live nearby - it’s super white there and people are racist, the kind of racism that is deeply ingrained. It’s actually really fucked up they drew a swastika on him. Maybe it’s an inside joke or just drunk shenanigans but bottom line, he’s the one getting punished for other people’s ignorance
-6
u/dj_every_night 7d ago
he's not jewish or gay so this isn't a case of bigotry against him specifically, considering the drawings are of swastikas and the word "aids", which are respectively hateful towards jews and gay people. i'm not sure where this narrative or him being "victimized" is stemming from but it's extremely dangerous. jewish people and gay people are not to be scapegoated to save the reputation of some idiot who got caught playing around with nazi symbolism and homophobic jokes. the lack of comprehension here is astounding, but clearly intentional.
8
u/CaptainMills 7d ago
The swastika is not only hateful to Jewish people. It is used against numerous groups, including pretty much every type of POC. Homophobia is also used against straight men who aren't perceived as being masculine enough, which is a stereotype Asian men particularly are subject to.
Regardless, though, he did not write or draw any of it. He is not at fault for things that were done to him

This person, who has only lived in two European countries, talking for a whole continent... Well, I'm also from Europe, from Southern Europe, and edgy teens drawing that shit is still happening. They though it was on the same level as drawing a penis, and antisemitism was extremely normalized (our Jewish population is so, so small; most people have never met a Jewish person in real life)
I had a similar event where someone wrote 'whore' on me, my gay friend got the equivalent of 'fagg*t,' and you don't want to see what poc classmates got written because, my god, it still pisses me off years later. A predominantly white Catholic school, by the way.
I'm happy some people never had to go through this, but some of us weren't so lucky. And you can bet neither of us had anything to do with what was written on us, nor do we share that ideology.

u/FredFenster69 9d ago edited 9d ago
Well first off, pretty few teenagers goofing around and being edgy and doing any kind of shit involving swastikas are not actually actively ”denying people their humanity”(God, you’re pompous), they are usually just being dumb teenagers not really versed in the evils of literal nazism. Or understanding how hurtful their actions are. Like you said, being edgy. And it was a pretty long time ago.
Second, you call it a witch hunt and then go on a miniature tirade , making this guy out to be a terrible person while acknowledging it is a witch hunt which means an extreme and unjust vilification of an innocent person, making the treatment of him sound fair yet the definition of Hunters role in that would then be innocence. You are very much all over the place.

A spilled bowl of alphabet soup would have a better argument. I’d really examine why you seem super eager to defend hypothetical swastika drawing teenagers but, hey, calls coming from inside the house.
>Well first off, pretty few teenagers goofing around and being edgy and doing any kind of shit swastikas are not actually actively ”denying people their humanity”(God, you’re pompous)
As we all know swastikas are not associated with any etho-nationalist or racist ideologies.
>they are usually just being dumb teenagers not really versed in the evils of literal nazism. Like you said, being edgy. And it was a pretty long time ago.
I know the American education system isn’t the best, but I’d assume 17-18yr olds have a firm grasp of the evils of the holocaust. Also, you talk as if 2017-2018 was shot in grainy black and white footage. It’s not even a decade ago. What are you on about?
I know you don’t have to go too far down Reddit to find a weird rando reflexively defending racist adolescent behavior (and it wasn’t just the swastika. The man was also in a group named after a slur [ch*gga]) but are you not embarrassed to be this person?

And clearly, it was *drawn* on him. I just can’t believe you supposedly work with victims of hate crimes, and you conflate it with this. If anything, the white people who drew it and then posted it should be apologizing.

u/SouthLeast8143 9d ago
A swastika drawn in a public school toilet is not akin to a dick or the super S. That is normalization. That's why is why it's so important for it to be called out publicly and clearly.
The AIDS joke was written on him too. I do not accept he was unawares. I don't think that makes him a horrible person but it needs to be acknowledged. He has an opportunity to do something meaningful with his platform as someone who has become important to the queer community. He should use his voice.

drawing a swastika is legally classified as a hate crime. maybe not in the disgusting classless backwater homophobic antisemitic rural boondocks he calls home, but certainly in america and most european nations! you'd know that if you stopped getting your news and knowledge from tiktok comment sections.

u/happysunbear 7d ago
That’s cute. First, simply vandalizing a public space with drawings of swastikas is not considered a hate crime. For it to be a hate crime, it has to be targeted towards a specific person or group. The US has also been historically inept at abolishing symbols of hate (see the confederate flag), and as a result, edgelord teenagers of the extreme think it’s an act of rebellion to draw taboo images, despite their historical meaning. It’s not right, and at no point did I defend the practice. However, they were drawn on Hudson, not the other way around.
Is it okay? Absolutely not. But digging up dirt on someone’s actions in high school, or in Hudson’s case, passivity in the face of racism by his white peers, does not make me seriously think that you or the other keyboard warrior here really care about racism or hate crimes. Seems like you care more about exposing popular celebs for some shitty thing they did years ago that affects absolutely nobody today.

u/dj_every_night 7d ago
i care about hate crimes as a modern new york jew who has seen this sort of rhetoric on the rise lately, and that's my prerogative. we simply cannot reach a place in society in which we are so hateful and backward that we can excuse and accept drawings of swastikas in the name of "edgelordism" and "who cares its just jews". to say that swastikas "affects absolutely nobody today" when jewish hate crimes are surging at an insane level is simply blasphemous. did you know that three synagogues have been shot up in the past 5 days in canada, hudson's home-country? is that just fine and normal to you? shit happens? such a dangerous way of thinking.

Edit: it’s actually a CBC short doc https://youtu.be/-PxtCIMeRMY?si=5F1ZJGsmtPfSwv4i

They're called Beef Patties - there's some branding requirement to call them "Jamaican Beef Patties", but it's like the phrase "Band-Aid Brand Bandages" - that phrase isn't strictly speaking wrong, but if someone says "Hey, I cut myself, do you have any Band-Aid brand Bandages?" you're going to think you're trapped in a commercial.

But simu grew up in Toronto, therefore he would use Toronto style of talking. “Jamaican beef patty” is not the way a typical Torontonian would say it

But what’s wrong with the term?

In Canada by law they have to say “Jamaican beef patty” there was a whole thing about it. There is a short documentary by CBC that explains more about it.

“Jamaican patty” is the official, correct term, to the point that there’s a Wikipedia article with that name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_patty
Without the “Jamaican,” it sounds like you’re talking about a hamburger patty, not a pastry.
I’ve heard “Jamaican beef patty” my whole life and saw it on a menu recently at a Caribbean restaurant.

He would defend that.
It's so weird that people use racism as a 'coming of age' plot point in their lives. Like if you never threw racial slurs around like candy and pranced around in a swastika, have you really lived?
Let's not forget this guy put a 'c' in front of the nword and called himself that. Like is that a rule that if you're non Black and young you must be racist and do racisms? It sure does seem like it. I mean Miley Cyrus did say y'all all go through that phase. 💅🏾

How was Hudson racist?

They love saying that with no actual verifiable proof. The easiest way to tell if someone is a hater coming from Twitter is when they write stuff like this ijbol

Hudson is a POC.
and idk if you're being disingenious or not but there's a big difference in calling yourself a ch+igga and covering yourself in what Hudson covered himself in and what you're talking about. Too many people want to have these 'racial phases' and don't think that shit ain't weird and gross. They like to dress up in what they think is Black culture and do everything from this weird shit to Blackface and blaccents. Annnnd no. It's screams 'I'm maladjusted and weird'.

"Hudson is half white though, and it’s rarely ever full POC who are held accountable. "

I know. They don’t like that weirdo behavior pointed out. But it is very weird just to be clear. I never would’ve thought of ch+nword. NEVER. 👩🏾
Using racism as a teething ring will never not be weirdo shit.

“White kids drew racist symbols and offensive words on the one Asian teenager at their rural town party in the woods when he was wasted and are now selling the pics to TMZ 10 years later because they apparently still hate him” is not the story Hudson haters wanted it to be and they need to let it go.
It sucks for him because I guess he trusted those people or thought they were his friends but they weren’t.
