like obviously this was a public Stan, but that was years ago, a lot of fans have come and gone, and since dream didn’t share her name (even though it’s known by people who were here), it’s considered “leaked” info. Which is why I understand fans trying to obscure it. Also the fact of her being an ex fan and people knowing how dream was treated for being parasocial to fans, now dating an ex one (even though other ccs have done it), it doesn’t mean they think it’s bad but they know how the reception would be
a lot of fans have come and gone but a lot of us are still here. if fans really consider 'any information that dream doesn't explicitly tell them' to be leaked info, i really might have to retract my objection to ppl who call this fandom a cult bc that's fucking ridiculous. that's asking ppl to deny what they see or hear in favour of dream's word. i don't understand it and i don't respect it.
dream's been treated badly for things he didn't do but he's also done things that should be scrutinised. i don't feel any obligation to hide his behaviour when he can't even control himself to not repeatedly engage in the behaviour that gets him criticism. he got a lot of hate for fucking around with fans to various degrees and has spent years saying that it's not true, something fans believed and defended him on. but he does fuck around with fans to various degrees including literally. he's lied about that and let his fans defend him when it's not true. i don't personally have a moral issue with him fucking or dating fans but i do have an issue with him lying about it so his fans will defend him. that's gross shit
