Addison Rae Sparks Debate With Protect The Dolls Tee

Addison Rae freshly topped on the timeline in ‘Protect The Dolls’ T-shirt, and the internet had thoughts. Of course, a Pop Crave tweet depicting her outfit immediately sailed right into the storm of reactions from praising outright to outright confusion. While some loved the look, others brought forth the jokes, while others engaged some deep politics in between-no surprises, it’s classic Twitter chaos.

First off, the shirt actually referred to a movement espousing trans rights, which immediately prompted chatter around Addison’s supposed views on the matter. One user, @pink_nylon, straight up asked, “Didn’t she vote for Trump?” while another, @kimpettyz, fired back with, “She endorsed AND voted for Kamala Harris.” So… conflicting reports there. The debate then turned to whether she’s supportive of the message or just liked the shirt, with yet another user weighing in, @cuntymamaslay, saying, “Or she also agrees that trans rights are human rights but sure let’s go with the thoughts in your head.” Meanwhile, @toastedfawn stepped in to clarify: “That’s great, but the shirt is still very much a movement meant for trans people ♥.”

And some simply came to roast. :’CrL-.’iCUl~C eat ‘Mun.k314_CRU ~CVNT Sl . . . I need to know her skin-care routine so I know what not to do. Very brutal, LOL!” @kekuur doubled up on the screenshot of the comment saying, “I know I’m funny.” But, not everyone was hating; @JynnVynn simply replied “L O V E”-because certain W.Y.O.D. were just appreciating the fit.

Comparisons started flying too: @thvsbts called her a Tate McRae wannabe, while meanwhile, @2ambyszaaaaa joked, “Oh Addison ur taking over Tate McRacist spot!” Someone else, @yveslicious_, confessed that they “scrolled too fast and thought it was Ice Spice😭,” which… honestly, fair.

And the haters let the Pop Crave know it. @9Sora2 jabbed at them: “Just change your nick to Addison Crave at this point,” and @readingrevival berated the outlet itself: “Shes not the point. The point is that @popcrave has a quota of using the verb ‘stuns’ to fill.” The replies to THAT went on to be a whole bickering session of whether anyone really cares at all. @Velmas_Void launched the retort: “You’re still replying, so you’re kinda proving that you do. 😃.”

In the middle of the tweet war, @silviovieiraart randomly popped in with “Sharing my artwork,” with a link. No backstories, just vibes.

The wildest thread? A full-blown debate on charts initiated by @Ariesguy041499 and rebutted by @LotKorey regarding Addison’s success (or lack thereof). One side screamed about streams while the other shouted about chart placements, ending with @crossgoldchain asking, “is all u white people care about is charts? lmao charts this charts that bro get a life.”

So yes-a t-shirt kicks this up. Nothing was said by Addison, and here we find ourselves: Twitter doing what Twitter does best-overanalyzing, fighting, and sometimes making a joke of it. Whether she wore it for the message or for an aesthetic thing, one thing we know for sure: people have OPINIONS. And they’re not afraid to yell them into the void.
