🔥 1. Performative Activism Over Genuine Advocacy
- Liz Plank: Makes activism part of her brand—polished, filtered, and often shallow.
- Jodie Sweetin: Marches for protests, but ditches friends over image.
- Hilarie Burton: Speaks up about social causes, but usually when it’s popular or safe to do so.
- Sophia Bush: Activism is her entire personality online—but can feel more like a personal brand campaign than grassroots work.
- Devon Sawa: Posts loud opinions on politics and social issues, often aggressive, but lacks follow-through or meaningful action.
👑 2. Clout Chasing Through Controversy
- All five seem to jump on every trending outrage topic, especially if it boosts visibility or gets a tweet to go viral. They often go full-throttle on “hot takes” without nuance, and then dip when it stops benefiting them.
💔 3. Zero Loyalty to Long-Time Friends or Collaborators
- Jodie didn’t back Candace.
- Liz ghosted Justin Baldoni.
- Hilarie & Sophia have both distanced themselves from former castmates or friends for “optics,” even when the situations were more complex.
- Devon has called people out with zero nuance—sometimes even people he once supported.
📸 4. Online Persona > Real-Life Impact
- They all have highly curated online images that cater to progressive audiences.
- Real activism takes a backseat to soundbites, filtered photos, and performance.
- They present “perfection” in their virtue and use social causes as a launchpad for brand partnerships, interviews, and attention.
💅 5. Smugness & Superiority Complex
- You can practically feel the “I’m more evolved than you” tone in their posts.
- Anyone who questions their opinions gets hit with sarcasm, condescension, or the block button.
- They rarely engage with differing views with maturity or openness—just cancel, dismiss, or shade.
📺 6. Riding the Nostalgia Train
- Jodie – Full House / Fuller House
- Hilarie – One Tree Hill
- Sophia – One Tree Hill / Chicago P.D.
- Devon – Casper / Final Destination
- They all capitalize on the nostalgia of their past fame, appearing in conventions, podcasts, or reboot-adjacent conversations.
📉 7. Not Relevant for Their Actual Work Anymore
- None of them are making waves for new acting or creative projects.
- Their most viral moments now revolve around drama, outrage tweets, or political rants—not talent.
💔 8. Preach “Unity” but Fuel Division
- They love to say they want “healing,” “empathy,” and “togetherness,” but their tone and posts often push division and moral superiority.
- They don't listen, they lecture.
