Rhonielyn :
I'm not a fan of him (although I am a BL fan), and I'm also a teenager—I'm actually a few days older than him. This is my first time commenting on this issue because I usually prefer to stay out of online drama. However, this topic keeps showing up on my FYP and even on my Facebook, so I felt like sharing my thoughts. I think it's important to remember that being young doesn't automatically excuse someone's actions. If the reposts that people are criticizing are genuine and accurately represent what happened, then he should take accountability and address the situation. A sincere statement, taking responsibility if necessary, and showing that he's willing to learn would be far more meaningful than staying silent. I also don't agree with people saying, "He's just a kid, leave him alone." He's a teenager, not a little child. At our age, we should already have a basic understanding of what's right and wrong. We all make mistakes, but making mistakes doesn't mean we shouldn't be held accountable for them. Accountability isn't about ruining someone's life—it's about acknowledging what happened, understanding why people were hurt, and learning from it.
At the same time, I also don't agree with the people sending him hate or death threats. Those actions are never okay. Many of the people doing that are adults or older than us. If you're older, you should know better than to send threats to anyone, especially a teenager. Regardless of what your opinion is, threatening someone's life or wishing harm on them is unacceptable. Criticize the actions, not the person's existence. I'm not defending him, and I'm not trying to attack him either. I simply believe that there should be a balance. If he did something wrong, then he should acknowledge it and take responsibility. But people should also remember that accountability and harassment are two completely different things. You can call someone out, explain why their actions were harmful, and encourage them to do better without resorting to bullying, doxxing, or death threats.
At the end of the day, people are capable of learning and changing, especially teenagers. That doesn't mean they should be excused from the consequences-
