It depends on the person, TBH.

In someone who habitually keeps quiet on these sorts of issues, it's reasonable to expect silence here too.

But that silence becomes very loud with people like, say, David Tennant, who is otherwise incredibly vocal and outspoken in supporting minorities and oppressed groups, but who conveniently has nothing at all to say about a situation that one would reasonably expect, given his previous outspokenness, he would speak out about.

DA. Yes, this is the thing. If someone is ALWAYS silent on things it's one thing. But David Tennant is known for speaking up, so it gets really weird fast when he doesn't. It could mean he's just struggling to process and recontextualize his own friendship with Gaiman but it looks worse than it would for someone who never talks out.

That's what I was thinking, too. It'd be one thing if the celebrity in question was very private about their beliefs, but Tennant is famously outspoken on other issues... and yet not this one. It doesn't mean he supports Gaiman, but the silence is conspicuous.

i think this is a fair take. someone who tends to be vocal, might be expected to say something, and it does feel a little odd when they don't. whereas someone who general keeps quiet, it's in character for them to continue to

seems kinda fucked up that the reward for frequently speaking out in the way fandom says it wants is to forfeit the right to ever have something rattle you so much that you want to handle your own relationship to it privately after all

like, yeah, usually he does, but this is a lot more personal? and sometimes things just hit different?

idk man there's enough celebrities out there straight up still defending people like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski that in the case of pure silence, when it was actually someone they were friends with, it feels like the kind thing is just to assume they'd prefer to be fucked up about it out of the spotlight
