๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 92s

"So I follow a black content creator who happens to be a lover of anime and a cosplayer. This person has been a champion for authenticity, for mental health, and for boosting up one's community. And the reason why I'm sharing this is because a lot of the same points that he has made are points that I make in regards to why I make content in the first place. And in one of his more recent reels, he had said the following. You will never be good enough for someone that doesn't want you there in the first place. Instead of changing yourself to make other people happy, it's very important that you take up space. Every time you openly embrace who you are, you're helping other people like you find their place. And that's exactly why I do what I do. It's not for attention, it's not for likes, it's not a popularity contest to me. It's not even for rage bait. If one person viewing my content feels more seen and is able to find their place because of it, then I've done my job. And no amount of hate or trolls is going to stop me. Because like he said, there will always be people who will find a reason to bring negative energy. I love you all, and I hope the best."
