Yay Wednesday! These #DJLoonyoSTFUChallenge Tweets Sum Up Our Feelings About the Influencer’s Toxic Positivity

After getting so much flak last week for some extremely misinformed statements, is DJ Loonyo really at it again? On top of his apology, he released another statement last weekend about what happened and how he wants to focus on using his platform to spread love and positivity. But an old video resurfaced, and it’s not helping his case at all. See for yourself, and you’ll probably understand why the Internet is going through some feelings.

 

We’re confused . . .

“You guys are not eating for one day or two days or something, right? So maybe God is just pushing you to do more, right? ‘Cause all the blessing all the resources are in front of you already. You just need to be smart about it, you just need to change your perspective, right? So please right kung inaalagaan ni God yung pinakamaliit na buhay dito sa buong mundong how much more ikaw na ikaw yung nakatira talaga dito sa mundong to. Isa ka sa pinakamajor na nag coconsume ng resources dito sa mundo, right?”

What is he saying? It’s like 1 + 1 = 3. Doesn’t make sense.

 


. . . stressed . . .

And because it doesn’t make sense, we’re all just getting stressed. This face says it all: “People this dumb really exist in the world?” We’d want to ignore it, but this guy has quite the following — and a young one, too — and we’re hoping he won’t spread this kind of thinking to his followers.

 

. . . disgusted . . .

Lauren Young had the fiercest clapbacks last week, and of course, she’s back once again. Someone asked her what she’d do if ever he courted her, and honestly this tweet is the biggest mood.

 

. . . unsurprised . . .

And unfortunately, most of us aren’t even surprised anymore. We’ve encountered so many people like DJ Loonyo (hello to all the trolls) that it’s just sad and disappointing.

 

. . . and embarrassed

The secondhand embarrassment is too damn real. We’d want to just smile and wave, but we need to do better. Which means educating him.

 

And we want to educate him

Just like Miss Marisa here. She made some points. And we can only hope DJ Loonyo is listening so he can educate himself. Sayaw ka na lang muna.

 

We’re supportive . . .

. . . of his rights to shut up. At least until he learns how to research and fact-check. He has so much time to use the Internet, so maybe he can set aside a couple of hours to learn how to Google.

 

But we hope this is the last of it

Let this piece be the last one we write about him. Or if we write another article him, we hope it would be something along the lines of ‘DJ Loonyo Has Educated Himself’ or something. Please.

P.S. Will someone save Ivana?
