There are so many things that I want to say. So many things that Iām thinking. But I actually believe that I lack the vocabulary to fully express how Iām feeling. Since last night my brain, and my heart, have been cranking and spiraling trying to process what has been happening.Ā
Iāve been in shock mostly. Truly, truly shocked by all of it. Iām shocked at the continued disgusting obsessions that people have that drives them to so heavily stalk a young girl and her friends, leading them to leak private videos and photos onto the internet. Thereās just so many things wrong with that I canāt even.
Iām shocked that people took these obsessive behaviors to nearly the farthest that it could go by digging up someoneās voter information. Something that is so private and so personal to an individual. It made not seem like a big deal but that is a HUGE deal. I donāt even know how people do it. And it honest to god terrifies me.Ā
Iām shocked that people had the nerve to drag Sandra into it. And then continued to worm their toxicity in by saying that Jodie has no right being around Sandra. Which is one of the most vile things Iāve heard, not only about a person that they supposedly look up to and admire. But that is also such an insult to the very strong friendship that Sandra and Jodie share.Ā
To be quite honest, the thing that shocks me the least is the potential knowledge of Jodie Comer dating a republican. The girl isnāt even American first of all, so American politics is probably not something that is on her mind often. How many of us are thinking of British politics? Exactly. Second, who the fuck cares? Unless he is out screaming his love for Trump or saying he hates people of color, well then we can talk about that. But I think it is safe to assume that Jodie wouldnāt surround herself with people like that. There are people who are actually causing problems out there that we should focus all of this energy on. Not a young couple who is trying to live through a pandemic (which is hard as fuck in case anyone has forgotten). So please. Let Jodie get drunk and have rocking sex with her dumb white boyfriend if thatās what she wants to do. Because god forbid that girl gets to happy for a second.
What I am shocked about the most, what really has been making the blood boil in my body like a freaking magma pit, is how quick. How. Damn. Quick. People were to shit on her. How quick most of the people in this fandom were to just drop her like a dirty sock. I watched people I had interacted with for months who would talk endlessly about Jodie and how much they adored her; people who only mere hours earlier, were gushing about her new haircut. And all it took was one rumor. One stupid Twitter thread ofĀ āreceiptsā for people to flip a switch and sayĀ āI fucking hate Jodie Comerā or āhow dare Jodie Comerā and so on. It was so unbelievably heartbreaking to see that it quite literally had me in tears.Ā
Cancel culture is morbid. Itās degrading, humiliating, and just straight up wrong. I canāt believe that this is the world we are living in. And that there are individuals who are so unhappy with their own lives, that they feel the need to try to negatively affect someone elseās.Ā
Now, I am not the kind of person who will stan a celebrity so hard that it blind sights me and I turn the other cheek when their flaws are pointed out (even though yes I am quite far up Jodieās ass, but that doesnāt mean Iām going to forget my morals). Of course Iām aware Jodie has flaws. There is probably shit about her that would annoy the bejesus out of me. But guess what? Weāre all human. We are all so beautifully flawed in our own ways.Ā
And I donāt know how many people need to hear this, but Jodieās flaws do not give anyone the right to insult her orĀ ācancelā her. From her opinions on Killing Eve to what kind of tequila she drinks, to even the people she dates, it is none of our damn business. At all. Period. I canāt believe people need to be reminded of that.Ā
However, if there are valid reasons and proof that she is expressing shitty behavior, or that she exhibits conservative views, then that is a completely different conversation. But thatās not the conversation we are having so everyone please, calm down.Ā
And Iām really sorry to everyone who is actually feeling negatively affected by this. Iām sorry to my LGBTQ+ family who feels betrayed by just the thought of Jodie associating herself so closely with someone who could believe that we donāt have rights. Iām sorry that it hurts to feel that someone you love so much doesnāt care like you thought she did. But donāt give up on her yet. Donāt take yourself into that dark hole of doubt. Have a little faith that she is still the beautiful woman who loves and supports us the way we love and support her. But if you canāt, and need to let go. Do it. Do what is best for you and for your health. Stick to your values. And just know that if you arenāt feeling the love from her, youāll always have it with the rest of us.Ā Ā
I think that Iāve taken up enough of everyoneās timeline. If you are still reading, bless your heart. If anyone would like to have more discussions about the matter, my asks/DMs are open. I will NOT accept any negative comments tho so please keep that to yourself.
