Hello, sorry that this is not any nsfw works, but, I want to say something and this is the account I choose to do it on since out of all my accounts, it gains the most attention from SPG fans.
TW: M*ke and St*ve, you know which ones under that alias..and of course, spg related issues I have seen and discussed with mutuals enough to make my own post.
You may disagree with me, and that is fine. This is my own voice and opinion based on Mr. Bennett's attitude with this.
Please note, this is just a rant, if you happen to catch this and are underage, just read the rant and do not interact with my blog!!
In my opinion, the new rule update could have been fine on its own, I know it's their server so they can discuss whatever they want however they want, but I found the ramble that was included after to be unnecessary.
"Well I mean, I guess it's not like it's the end of the world to see these two peoples names or faces or something." Sure, maybe for not most people, but I am glad people still censor their persons so people who actually get anxious about them, let's say I don't know, the victims, they can let out a sigh of relief not seeing them.
The reason people may be bothered is because fans probably still enjoy them and are willing to post them without giving regards to their problematic stage of their career. Hopefully they spoil them. The reason I bring this up is because the "Favorite SPG photos thread." People post their favorite photos, and they tend to include the unnamed two and Rabbit/Isabella pre-transition, which can feel gross or 'icky' as to how I put it, basically saying "I liked the moments where possibly these people were in it, or where this woman before she discovered herself."
This is just how I see it, and how possibly others see it, my apologies if I am not wording it correctly.
"I literally have to write their names on checks every month for royalties and stuff."
A mutual of mine pointed out that David is trying to sound like a victim in some way here, and I agree. "I see their faces in past albums and whatnot." I'm sure you do, but I bet you the victims have to see/hear their names as well, maybe less or more than you. I don't know how to describe the words I wish to say next, but I will state it as this.
You are not the one they have damaged. You were not the fan they had decided to abuse. You worked with them, and if I am not mistaken, have let their behavior slide just because you mistook the hatred towards St*ve as racism.
"This ain't about giving in to overly sensitive people."
What if it was one of the victims who had brought up their grievances with you about fellow fans posting about St*ve and M*ke? Would you still call them 'overly sensitive'?
"Those two members did some pretty shitty stuff," You don't say? my, of course they did, the lovely account @bannedtogether explains what they have done (sorry to tag you guys by the way, but you explain well and make the voices of the victims heard). I wouldn't in simple terms say "pretty shitty." I would say disgusting, vile maybe, but you place it in a half-wrapped present, with a bow ontop of that sentence that kind of brushes off what they did in that tone. You phrase it as if they just stole money from fans, but they had indeed done more.
This pretty much speaks for itself, don't you agree? What do/must I say about this part that already doesn't speak for itself?
You treat this like a joke, Mr. Bennett. Why do I say this? As you say, 'cause I am also petty'.
Thank you for listening to this rant.

User has been infected by the SPG virus. The progression of this illness is swift and there is no known cure. Non-fatal, its is easy to spread by pushing play on an MP3 player. Symptoms include illustrating your words with a bouncing pug-head, wearing robotic make-up and singing at random times.
