Over the past few days, I’ve seen some deeply concerning and unacceptable behavior online. Because of that, I’ve decided to stay offline until after the concert. And no, I’m not attending.
I used to think missing out was just unfortunate, but after seeing attempted doxxing, people trying to find Sam’s hotel location, and others encouraging stalking or invasive behavior toward the cast, crew, and fans, I feel it’s important to say something.
Please be safe. The safety of the cast and crew matters. The safety of fans, crowds, and everyone attending matters too. No concert, fandom event, disagreement, rumor, or online conflict is worth putting real people in danger.
If you dislike someone, keep your distance. Mute, block, ignore, and move on. Do not harass people. Do not try to find where they’re staying. Do not share or request private information. Do not encourage others to follow, confront, film, track, or expose anyone. That behavior is dangerous, invasive, and not acceptable.
For anyone traveling, attending, or meeting up with people you only know online: please protect yourself. Do not share your hotel, room number, ticket details, travel plans, flight information, arrival or departure times, or how long you’re staying. Be careful about posting real-time updates that reveal your location. Avoid sharing traceable personal information, including your full name, address, phone number, workplace, school, or anything that could identify where you are or how to find you.
Meet in public places. Stay with people you trust. Let someone reliable know where you are. Keep your phone charged. Have a plan for getting back safely. Trust your instincts if something feels off.
Please remember that the people involved are human beings, not characters, content, or targets. Fans are human beings too. Everyone deserves privacy, boundaries, and safety.
Take care of yourselves and each other. I’ll be offline until things have passed or a relevant update needs to be shared.
If you have any questions/concerns or need someone to chat with privately, I have finally opened my DMs for interactions.
