Vent post — This has nothing to do with CoD or any of the other fandoms I do/have written for…
It literally sucks when one of the biggest pieces of your life turns out to be the worst. I feel like I’ve experienced this time and time again, both with artists and people in my real life.
It’s just absolutely gut wrenching when someone you look up to, someone who has provided you with so much comfort, knowledge, and has made you feel heard and seen turns out to be a fucking piece of shit asshole who has hurt people in a way someone else has hurt you. When someone you looked up to and found comfort in turns out to be an abuser after you sought their comfort after being abused yourself.
It just sucks, and you can call me a selfish bastard all you want for putting my attention on the way this has made me feel, but I’m allowed to feel hurt. Me feeling hurt doesn’t take away from those directly involved as well. I’m allowed to process my feelings of great disappointment.
Ok. That’s all. I would be working on writing right now, but a) writers block and b) my computer is dead and I don’t have a charger with me rn.
Edit: also making jokes about this situation, even at Wilbur’s expense, is shitty. This is abuse we are dealing with here. Nothing funny. Nothing to joke about. Using this as an opportunity to promote a different artist that you think is better than Lovejoy is also gross. Please keep the focus on the fact that Wilbur is an abuser. I won’t buy into the “I’m just trying to show people alternatives of what to listen to.” No you’re not. Everyone knows there’s music outside of Lovejoy. I don’t think “haha stream (insert artist here) instead of Lovejoy!!!” Is in good faith, and you know it’s not.
