THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE

Evergreen reminder that the boys are actual real people!!! Like I can’t believe I even need to say this?? Not trying to shit

on anyone’s parasocial relationships, I’m right there with you, but THERE IS A LINE!!!!! You need to be mindful about what

you’re posting, like you literally don’t know who’s reading it. It could be someone the boys know irl or THEY COULD LITERALLY

BE HERE READING IT THEMSELVES. This is honestly Hayter behavior and I really thought we were better than this?? Not saying

it’s every post—just a concerning trend I’ve noticed in this sub recently. I’m all for speculation, but keep it RESPECTFUL.

Walden is supposed to be a safe space for ALL members of the community. Sorry for ranting, but I had to say it

u/ monty_felicity_adrian

No but you’re right and you should say it!!!!! Also like, it’s bad enough that we’re lumped in with the Hayters—let’s not

prove them right??

u/ originalwaldentruther

Yup, this is not how we do it

u/ just_like_other_girls

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS

u/Angelic_Ad_9860359012

also they are literally MINORS??? like wtf y’all

u/ dramaclashtaylorsversion

Hayden isn’t a minor

u/Ok_elemental103952051

Agreed (tho hayden isn’t a minor fyi, he turned 18 in august). But yeah, some of the posts I’ve seen recently are pretty inappropriate

imho. I’m not going to tell you not to ship them (obviously not, this is literally the walden sub lol), but you REALLY need

to be careful to respect their privacy. And OBVIOUSLY keep things sfw (that goes without saying), but imo, we shouldn’t even

be speculating about anything physical/$eggsual. Idk if that’s an unpopular opinion or what, but yeah

u/im_bisexual_actually123

Not an unpopular opinion

u/ originalwaldentruther

It is on the hayter sub

okay so i’ll probably get downvoted for this, but i actually think there’s some nuance here. like yeah some of it’s extremely

not good and I’ve seen some questionable posts in this sub from grown adults to say the least. but.

idk, like, a lot of us are literally just queer kids ourselves? like i’m literally their age, ill turn 18 like two months

after walter. obviously don’t harass them, and even fellow minors absolutely need to be respectful. but idk man, some of us

are just desperate for representation lol

u/Ok_elemental103952051

Real people aren’t “representation.”

u/ fangoriously_devoured

This. Also, reminder that Hayden literally hasn’t even come out, we don’t technically know how he identifies. We’re all aware

of the pressure he’s gotten from the hayters since My Sexuality (abu) dropped & the last thing we want to do is add to that.

u/justanotherhayleigh989

i agree with all of this, yes!

u/justanotherhayleigh989

okay? i’m not trying to say the purpose of their existence is to provide representation lol. im just saying, i think ~most~

(not all) of the posts in this sub are actually pretty harmless. like ymmv, but there’s a difference btw grown adults drawing

nsfw fanart vs queer teens talking about the boys’ hands touching, you know?
