Overview
- Hudson Williams and François Arnaud posted identical Instagram Stories condemning racist, homophobic, biphobic, misogynistic, ageist, ableist, parasocial and other bigoted comments, adding that none of the cast needs “hateful love.”
- The statement affirmed cast solidarity — “we all respect and support and love each other” — and bluntly told toxic commenters to leave, using the “gtfoh” sign-off.
- Co-stars and creatives amplified the message, including Robbie G.K., Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, Sophie Nélisse, Harrison Browne, Christina Chang, showrunner Jacob Tierney and author Rachel Reid, with Browne explicitly adding “transphobic” to the list and sharing examples.
- Williams later clarified on Threads that the joint note was Arnaud’s idea and that he helped write it, saying he hadn’t seen the comments because he avoids scrolling.
- Coverage links the posts to ongoing abuse facing the cast — from anti-Asian slurs and “queerbaiting” claims to aggressive speculation about private relationships — as the breakout series sustains mainstream attention, recent awards recognition and a confirmed second season.
