wait you go to wellesley? can you tell me about your sleepwalker experience???
the first time I saw it I was like HOLY MOTHER OF GOD SOMEONE GET THIS GUY SOME CLOTHES because a couple months ago I was talking to someone who said they saw some scantily clad dude by paramecium pond just standing there really still and she was concerned and wanted to get him help but he disappeared after a while
so I thought it was that guy back again but no it was a statue and I’m like wtf
it’s a really realistic statue, I’ll give it that, and for me it’s more of a source of amusement than anything else, but I understand that other students have legitimate concerns over the placement of the statue and I’d like to see it moved somewhere else, like the davis courtyard where not everyone will be forced to look at it
what really ticks me off is how the media coverage has completely misportrayed the wellesley community. we are a group of people who look out for each other and support one another in all endeavours, and we’re just trying to make the campus a safe place for our peers. the way they’ve couched the resistance to the statue makes it seem like we’re the offended-by-everything side of the tumblr sj community
that being said I don’t see how the statue is a symbol of male dominance and I also maintain that it is necessary to be able to cope with potential triggers in the future because the real world isn’t going to be as accommodating as wellesley. I like how the statue has actually opened the floor up for discussions like this, because now we’re actively asking one another how we can make the school a better place and that’s always good uwu
also, since I’m a fandom blog:
DON’T BLINK. DON’T EVEN BLINK. THE SLEEPWALKER HAS THE PHONE BOX. DON’T TURN YOUR BACK. DON’T LOOK AWAY. DON’T BLINK.
