Just when we thought that the internet couldn’t get worse, it did and we had to remind ourselves of the world that we’re living in. The internet is great, because it gives us access to the world on a bigger level, but that’s also why it’s bad.
So many people have felt a sense of entitlement when it comes to celebrities, because of the accessibility due to social media. But world, we all need to get a grip. Being an asshole is never a good look.
Death threats are the epitomy of being an asshole and remind me that we need to do something about people that feel that it is okay to spew such vile shit on the internet.
Outer Banks star Chase Stokes posted a picture with his little sister on his Instagram stories and the responses that he got were awful. Stokes took to Instagram stories and responded.
“The fact that I can’t post a picture with my baby sister without death threats is just fucking absurd,” Chase wrote on his stories, less than an hour after posting.
He continued, “Get a grip. Family always comes first and at the end of the day if you don’t know my sister and have the audacity to send me horrific messages then just go ahead and click that unfollow.”
Ending the post with, “I will forever be a person who ALWAYS puts my family first. With that being said, and with that dumb shit. I’m out. See you when I see you.”
We can’t blame him for being upset and calling people out. It’s never okay to threaten someone and if you are one of the people that think it’s okay to do such things, you can hit the unfollow.
