Twenty One Pilots frontman Tyler Joseph has rolled back some 'insensitive' tweets regarding social issues.
The musician attempted to joke with fans who asked him to use his platform, posting a photo of him wearing… platforms.
So far, so droll:
you guys keep asking me to use my platforms.
feels good to dust these bad boys off. pic.twitter.com/CFyMOIkKgC— tyler jøseph (@tylerrjoseph) September 2, 2020
However the 'joke' badly back-fired. American has witnessed enormous protests in favour of social justice this year, and every voice counts.
