Here’s an opinion he also highlighted on the topic

In my opinion, the microscope the Heated Rivalry actors have been put under and the hate they’ve received from basically the moment the show blew up, specifically Hudson, but also notably Francois Arnaud, is not okay. Targeting various things like their looks, past and current partners, families, sexualities etc.

The recent picture of teenage Hudson that was discovered was disappointing and a level of criticism is understandable. I also don’t agree with Simu’s wording “absolutely nothing” because obviously that picture is offensive

However, I think it’s important to also acknowledge there is a loud and forceful group of people that seem hellbent on taking down Hudson in particular, and not his costars, by analysing everything he does and anything he might have done or been linked to in the past, irregardless of context, and attributing it to his character now. Editing pictures and clipping videos. Sometimes even just making stuff up. Coordinated attacks that seem fuelled by parasocial hate more than any desire for accountability of any actual, proven wrongdoing

Multiple things can be true at one time

I’ll just say that it’s bold of Buzzfeed of all publications to post this article when they had Hudson read a racist tweet about Shane during Hudson and Connor’s thirst tweets video

Which a full grown adult picked out to include in the video without thinking at all about how it plays into harmful stereotypes about Asian men

People would never give this much grace to female celebrities, that’s all I have to say
