hi iām sorry iāve been so mia for awhile. i just got back from a semester abroad & i just havent been in a tumblr mood yaknow how it is. anyway i feel like i need to address my thoughts on the whole ravn situation even if iām pretty late to it. also all this will be under a read more thingy. okay ily all <3 to all my friends here, if u wanna stay in contact more while iām off tumblr, dm me and iāll share my ig and/or discord
okay so any behavior from fans that i mention is by strangers, and not from my mutuals here. idk how my mutuals have reacted, but i do see how fans i donāt know have been reacting. itās mostly stuff iāve noticed in youtube comments on their videos & community posts
but basically iām just tired of people being so outwardly upset at his leaving. not because i donāt think people should be sad when a member leaves a group. bc it does suck. but because of the circumstances surrounding his departure. the accusations against him areāto my knowledgeā still just accusations, nothing can be proven either way. however, just the very fact that heās being accused of these things is enough for me to be content with him leaving oneus
my only other real experience with a member leaving a group i love because of a scandal was wonho, but even then itās completely different. wonho was accused of smoking weed and owing people money. none of those are bad things, and the severity of it is a far, far cry from partner abuse and cheating. even if wonho had done those things (which he didnāt), it wouldnāt have been a bad thing, which is why i and so many others thought it was unfair that he felt he had to leave.
with ravn, on the other hand, what heās being accused of IS severe. theyāre terrible things. so he stepped down in the face of the accusations, and if it turns out heās completely innocent of all of them, then yeah iāll be sad. but if he isnāt innocent, then itās a good thing he left when he did. i wouldnāt want to support a group with a person who did those things in it. i hope nobody would, but we all know how people can be :/
also, i know a lot of people have been like āwell, the timing of the accusations is suspicious since they came out as oneus got more popular š§ā and you can make that argument since thatās something weāve seen happen before in a ton of different scenarios (not with kpop specifically or even with accusations. just monkey see monkey do group mentality). but it also doesnāt mean anything. when oneus was relatively unknown, who wouldāve cared about the accusations? would rbw take them as seriously since oneus was a small group? or maybe the accuser was waiting until oneus got bigger to say anything since she knew more people would see it, or didnāt want someone who treated her so terribly to get the fame he was getting. maybe she is lying, and just wanted to fuck around and spread false accusations. or, like i said, it could be coincidence and doesnāt matter at all.
anyway, from here on out this is a ravn free zone. not because iām jumping to conclusions and assuming heās guilty guilty guilty, but because i donāt want to support someone who possibly did those things. iām not gonna drown in my sorrows due to a member leaving a group (even if theyre my fave group), since members leave all the time and we get over it. iām just gonna see how it unfolds, if it even does go anywhere. iāll support oneus as a 5 member group because theyāre still oneus without him, and hope that they get the rest they so desperately deserve amen
alright thatās all i have to say and i really hope u all agree š i hope it all made sense too. also iām barely on social media so if there have been any updates that contradict what i said or smth, let me know
