Iām only doing this because this is a side-blog and if I replied to you, it would be confusing with my main blog. @buminee10āĀ , this is for you.Ā Ā
For context for those of you who donāt know but are as nosy as me, I provided the post I made and the responses that sparked this.
First off, I didnāt like Brennen BEFORE the whole sexual assault thing happened. I was a fan of his for years before that.Ā
Exhibit A: (circa VidCon 2015)
I didnāt find out about the sexual assault thing way until way after I stopped being a fan of him. The accusations just are added baggage as to why I donāt like him. My own, personal issues with Brennen have nothing to do with those accusations. Meaning,Ā ifĀ it was found out that those accusations were completely false, I still wouldnāt like him because my dislike of his is stemmed from something else. I would just have one less reason to not like him. If that whole thing is someoneās reason as to why they hate him, thatās their right.
(On that note: as someone who has been s*xually ass*ulted, I understand the fear of speaking out and the frustration of not having proof. But thatās a whole other story)
Brennen gives me bad vibes and this all started when I met him. His hand was a little too low on my back if you know what I mean. Me being 16 and stupid didnāt think much of it until I got home that night. But then I figured when I got home that night but thought I was reading too much into it. To be 100% clear: Iām NOT saying that Brennen Taylor s*xually ass*ultedĀ me.Ā Iām just saying he made me uncomfortable.Ā
Iām generally a good judge of character, and I even gave Brennen the benefit of the doubt and tried to stay a fan for a while.Ā But in the end, I just couldnāt do it. There are the multiple queerbaiting videos, which I know Colby was involved in but he didnāt milk it out. There are the facts that heās most likely using Colby. Iām not saying that he not really friends with Colby, but he could be using Colby to his advantage. There is how Brennen dealt with the whole Tori drama.Ā
To touch on that for a second, hereās what I have to say on that. I honestly wish I still had the screenshots for those, but Google is going to have to do. But basically, Tori subtweeted Brennen because he filmed a video with a lobster, I think, getting killed and made into a meal after he asked his fans it was okay and a few of them, along with Tori, said no. Now, the video itself is not what I had a problem with. I heard he put warnings and whatever. But Tori was justified when she tweeted this:
Thatās her opinion. Itās fine. Whatever. HOWEVER, Brennen started stirring the pot:
And then Aaron got involved but I canāt find screenshots of those tweets anywhere. But he basically told Brennen to stop attacking Tori because Aaron had some dirt on Brennen that he could reveal. All three of them deleted their tweets and that was the end of that. I donāt agree with what Tori tweeted out to start this drama, but I understand where she was coming from. That didnāt give Brennen the right to bring up a whole bunch of unnecessary drama. The whole thing could have been handled privately in my opinion.
Secondly, I can be a fan of someone and not like all of their friends. Just because Iām Colbyās fan it doesnāt mean I have to be a fan of all of his friends. Because I wouldnāt really be that other personās fan. If someone chooses to not be a fan of Colbyās because of Brennen, thatās their right. There is no right way or wrong way to be a fan of someone. (Well, I guess if you worship them like a God that could cause some issues, but you know what I mean).Ā
If someone stans Brennen, thatās their right. Iām not going to try to talk them out of not liking him. If someone doesnāt stan or hates someone that I stan, Iām not going to sit there and try to get them to like them, thatās also their right. People are allowed to like and hate whomever they please.
If someone unstans someone because of accusations, theyāre allowed. You may not like it, but theyāre allowed. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, no matter if you agree with it or not. You also have every right to comment what you did on my post, but I also have every right to respond.
I said something on my Tumblr account, which is supposed to be my safe space. Iām not going to that personās social media and attacking them directly. Iām not telling them to go k*ll themselves or attacking them. Iām just venting with like-minded people.Ā
Calling him Brennen Trashwhore was petty and childish of me, Iāll admit that. I was upset and venting. If you think I said that with malicious intent hoping that Brennen will find my post and be hurt by it, you are absolutely wrong. If that was the case I would have posted this on twitter or even dm him. So if you think that calling me a Trashwhore back is going to cause me to revert to my old ways of harming myself because someone said something mean about me on the internet, youāre wrong. If you think Iām going to delete my account, post, or post an apology, youāre also wrong. However, youāre allowed to defend the people you stan.Ā
If youāve made it all the way to the bottom, I congratulate you. If you want to continue to call me names or hate me:Ā go ahead, I donāt care.Ā This post wasnāt intended to make you change your opinions on Brennen or anything like that. This is just me justifying myself because I can. Also, to anyone who follows me or is seeing my post and agrees with I have to say, DO NOT attack the person I tagged!Ā That would just be stupid and dismiss my entire rant.Ā
I truly hope you have a good day.
