imma be honest one of the things i really really hate about the dsmp fandom is how everyone has handled the wilbur situation
Because it feels like weāre all lying to each other. Lying and saying we never cared, censoring his name, writing him out of fics and posts and the story of the dsmp
it feels wrong, it feels like everyone is choosing to take the moral high ground because thats the Safe option, because this fandom is full to the fucking brim of people who treat morality like itās black and white
and i could do it too, ive been tempted to. I could say that my first impression of him was that he was a dick, and thats not necessarily a lie
itās just not what i always thought of him, because i thought he was kind and funny and sweet, a whole fucking lot of us did.
i donāt think its wrong to say that i miss the person i thought he was
and i donāt think its wrong to say that i Will support him If he ever makes an effort to change for the better
that āifā carries a lot in that sentence, but it doesnāt make it untrue
I donāt think trying to write someone out of our history is the right choice, understanding and acknowledging that he is/was a bad person is good, but trying to completely remove him? That feels like lying, to ourselves and each other
Edit: i realise i should have made this clear before but i am firmly on shelbys side of this situation, and anyone who is going to be demonising victims on my post will be blocked
i can believe in peoples ability to change and support their victims, those arenāt mutually exclusive
