Wait What Happened To Thomas Sanders???

Wait what happened to Thomas Sanders???

Basically, Thomas Sanders (who, btw, is gay) used to be basically the celebrated Unproblematic Fav Uwu of Tumblr and Vine. Everyone loved him, everyone praised him for being inclusive and positive, making fun and unique vines that were appropriate and enjoyable for any age group.

Then one day he got an aphobic ask (I honestly don’t remember what this was even in response to, I think it was some really innocent one-off “I hope asexuals have a good day” type of post or something like that, idek), to which he wrote a long and sincere response that basically summed up to “Hey, that’s not a nice attitude to have, please take a moment to think about how other people must feel and why it’s so important to you to shut them down”

Within literal hours (and this is something I witnessed myself, I was online when it all went down), a smear campaign against him had started. Suddenly even people who had previously been huge fans of him were shit-talking him left and right, declaring him cringey, and grasping at straws to make “callout posts” for him. One popular argument I remember hearing was- And I shit you not, I am not making this up- He was a “pedophile” because he made videos for a family demographic and has a young-looking face, but was 29 or whatever and therefore “pretending to be a kid” or whatever the fuck. He even, gasp, made vines about high school, despite not being a high schooler himself! (Dan Green voice) That’s called “acting”, children!

His popularity never really recovered, and these days he’s mostly considered “cringey” by a large portion of the internet due to the main demographic most of his fans fall into, because you know it’s hip and cool to shame young girls and queer kids for the things that bring them joy.

So yeah, TL;DR used to be pretty well liked by the majority of Tumblr with nobody really having anything bad to say about him, expressed support for aspecs one day, immediately fell victim to exclusionist harrassment and is now at best considered just a cringey teenage girl thing.

unpopular opinion: slav should have been shiro’s husband 😔✌️👬👨‍🚀🐛💔

Even though there have been times where the weight of it all feels less like an adventure and more like heartache, all along, you are guided. All along, year after year, He has been with you. He has brought you this far. ⠀ And even as people and seasons change around you, God has you here for a reason. And even though you cannot see why just yet, you are planted and grounded where you need to be. ⠀ Your journey might look a little different than everyone else’s and that’s okay. Perhaps at times, the reason why you’re feeling left out is because God is calling you out further to a place where other people might not be ready to go. And that can be lonely at times, but only until you realize that when you are with Him, you are never alone, and He will place people on your path when they need to be there. ⠀ God has brought you this far and He has already synced your heart to the rhythm of His grace. He has given you freedom in Christ and a joy that cannot be shaken by the weariness of this world. May you always be able to hold onto that and grow in that, as you grow closer and closer to Him everyday. ⠀ Written by @MorganHarperNichols for the one who is serving the Lord but at times feels weary.
