‘Your narratives can put people’s lives at risk’ — Enioluwa slams GTCO fashion show critics
Nigerian actor and social media influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has issued a warning to critics of men’s fashion choices at the recent GTCO Fashion Weekend. He cautioned that disparaging comments about men’s outfits could jeopardize individuals’ safety and well-being.
Adeoluwa’s remarks came in response to backlash aimed at male attendees sporting unconventional attire at the event, with some social media users lamenting that society was “losing its men.”
In a post on the platform X, Adeoluwa criticized the focus on men dressed uniquely while similar attention was not given to others in traditional clothing. “It is a fashion show. A fashion show! Nobody is losing anything,” he stated.
He suggested that those who prefer a traditional view of masculinity might find more suitable environments at stadiums or gyms rather than mocking those who choose to express themselves through fashion.
Adeoluwa further cautioned that disagreements with others’ choices should not warrant hostility or ridicule. “There are things we all dislike or disagree with about other people, but that doesn’t give us the right to ridicule them or encourage hostility towards them,” he said.
He concluded by urging social media users to adopt a more responsible approach to their online narratives, emphasizing the potential risks associated with harmful commentary. “We really need to be more mindful of the narratives we push, especially when we know how these narratives can put people’s lives and safety at risk. Leave people alone,” he added.
