forgive me for this long rant about everything surrounding Jared, it’ll be the last time i make a post about it i promise.
I’m just hearing about how the bar jared called out has supposed to have been open for 3 hours now and it hasn’t. The entire business is suffering because of him. Which…i guess was his goal, since he made it a public complaint.
I don’t know. The more I hear about it the more I despise how Jared handled the situation. I still love the guy. But this was just…awful.
I think part of the reason I dislike it so much is because I have this fear of disappointing people and getting a reaction like this. There’s no way I could handle what Jared put that girl through. How awful is that, that had this girl been me, and I got all the death threats this girl received, Jared’s own words about AKF, IAE, LYF wouldn’t have helped. isn’t that a little ironic.
I know what it’s like to have your mental illness belittled and not taken seriously. I’ve been told time and time again that my depression isn’t real because i have everything a person needs. However, I am still held responsible for my actions, my depression or anxiety does not justify treating people poorly.
And before you jump on me for defending the girl, i’m not. If what Jared said is true, then what she did was awful and she needs to learn better.
But Jared has fought so hard to teach that we need to combat hate with kindness and that we need to always keep fighting, but he didn’t follow through with that today and as a fan, i am hurting. I’ve seen people say just because he’s a celebrity doesn’t mean he can’t voice his opinion.
Which is true, but as a celebrity he has a responsibility whether he wants it or not. His words have more power than the average human, it’s why his campaigns do so well. And unfortunately, it’s the same reason why this incident got so big.
His apology, if it even was one, was too little too late. His “fans” took it too far, like they usually do. And harassed and hurt a business, out of blind faith and then had the audacity to call it the work of the spnfamily.
That’s not what the spn family is about. This isn’t at all what the spn family is about. We don’t harass random people. We don’t send death threats, whether it be to the bar, the cast, or random companies.
The spn family are the people who do good. they raise money for mental health charities, they fund a fandom hotline, they trend hashtags with Misha love and participate in GISHWHES. They spend all day congratulating Jensen on his twins, they create, they build. They include.
If you are happy that you helped “destroy” a company, you are part of the problem. Jared started the fire, and today we failed to put it out. I’m ashamed of that.
I truly hope Jared is okay. I hope this is something that didn’t set him back. But i also hope he doesn’t do anything like this again. i’m torn.
Feel free to send me your opinions, I would really love to hear them.
