Miley Cyrus Calls for End of Death Threats From Selena and Taylor Fans
Being a fan of Miley Cyrus doesn’t mean you need to send death threats to Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift.
This seems fairly obvious to me, but apparently not everyone got the memo. So, Miley took to Twitter to beg music fans to stop the hate:
Everyday someone with a Swift or Gomez in there name wishes terrible things upon me (death is popular) Please Smilers don’t ever

think somehow you are supporting me by being hateful towards other artist. My fans make me proud by supporting my music & everything I do.

Im sure these haters would make their idols much happier tweeting bout their music rather than wishing death upon their peers like psychos

She acknowledged that her own fans (“Smilers”) sometimes perpetuate negativity, too:
Btw im not saying Smilers can’t act cray cray too. #deaththreats #TOOOOFAR

In conclusion:
We are all friends. Why can’t you all be?

In a culture of bullying (that seems to intensify when people are hiding behind the Internet), we need more celebs like Miley to encourage positive discussion. Miley has nearly 12 million Twitter followers — let’s hope they were listening!
