The Gooseworx Tweet

— by @josiah_awkward, 2026-05-24T18:13:41.345Z

I apologize for my insensitive comment towards the bullying of Gooseworx.

While I don’t advocate for people to wish death on others, I made a joke in that same tweet that was entirely inappropriate and unnecessary for that topic. I commented on how people do celebrate deaths of terrible people when it eventually happens. Which is true, but saying that on a tweet about a person getting death threats, one can easily see that as me saying that I’ll celebrate if Goose does decide to end her life. I DO NOT WANT GOOSEWORX TO KILL HERSELF. I made that comment in a general sense, not specifically towards her but I can see why people would think that. I didn’t take the matter as seriously as I should’ve and for that I’m sorry.

And if it was just that, I could’ve just made this into a tweet but no, I’ve made multiple tweets afterwards joking about the response from people, even after the initial apology. Once again that was me not taking the situation as serious as I should’ve. My prior beef with Gooseworx and her fans aside, it’s not about her identity nor do I want her to end it all. It’s never that serious. Even if I never intended to do so, I know that the tweet could be upsetting to my trans friends who are regularly demonized for… existing basically. That there are people out there wishing death on someone just like them and I didn’t help at all. Which is very hypocritical of me, I will admit that.

And thank you to the people who RESPECTFULLY called me out on it. There’s a time and place and I fucked up both ends with that tweet. And if you reading this still dislike me or want to disassociate yourself from me from my stupid tweet, that’s completely understandable. I’ve left people on here for way less. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m asking for closure. If I expected immediate forgiveness from this, there would be no room for me to grow. I’m sorry to those I offend. I will do better.
