Rourke, Zilv, and Kai- Retrospective thoughts
I've been watching the drama of Rourke, Zilv and Kai go on for many months now. You would think that people would have moved on by now, but thats not the case. I find it fascinating by all accounts, you can chalk it up to being bored and being at home more because of the pandemic.
I think today's issues with Zilv and Kai have prompted me enough to write another thought log about them.
Looks like this round of drama had to do with Kai posting on his Instagram about how he is not doing well and how Rourke is talking about him in the Discord channel, which a flurry of supporters and defenders have come out of the wood work to comment on all of this. I guess the crux of it was that someone got a hold of the address of Zilv's parents and current home and sent literal shit in those packages (poop fire bag anyone?).
Zilv, Rourke's sisters and Kai's sister have all made statements about what is going on. Rourke for his part has stayed quiet, like much how he always has although he did make a statement on Instagram as well, but mostly directed at Zilv and his supporters. He's offline for the moment due to being sick.
in a nutshell:
Kai is -
Depressed and possibly suicidal?
Angry at Rourke for making a pancake comment on his discord
Angry at Rourke for calling him a cancer and saying that he deserves nothing
Depressed at being body shamed
Making jabs at Rourke
Kai's sister has backed up this claim saying that he is losing his light - I hate terms like this - depressed and not getting money from the Foster system and asking people to stop the hate.
Zilv is -
Blaming Rourke for everything and shifting the focus from himself
Blaming "Rourke's Fans" for everything that is happening
Continues to post questionable porn and images to the time
Closing comments on OF and Twitter
Not giving monetary compensation to Rourke?
And visiting friends and family despite the pandemic
Kick Rourke out of Twitter
Rourke is -
Moving on
Made jabs at Kai
Outright called Zilv out
Not gotten compensated from Zilv on their PH and OF accounts
Started a Discord server
Rourke's family have called Zilv about his behavior and lack of giving the funds that Rouke is entitled to (at least that is what appears to be the case). Also that Zilv has a lack of empathy for his treatment of his ex-fiance and the cruel treatment of other family members.
Now all the above is a a BREIF summary of feels and actions being seen, and there is a WHOLE slew of other things going on with defenders of both sides but I want to get back to the topic of which prompted this.
Topic: MENTAL HEALTH
Both Kai's sister (aunts as well) and Kai have mentioned that he is not doing well mentally. I can be empathic to this and this is not to say that Rourke is not experiencing the same thing.
But what I find odd is the fact that Kai is stating that he is depressed. Now there are different states that people can go through - some chronic, like myself - others situational. Personally (again my opinion only based on what I am seeing) Kai is only going through situational. I say this because Zilv is still posting videos of him and Kai having sex, Zilv is posting Kai in "sexy" outfits, and Kai himself is posting drag content.
This all SCREAMS validation. All of this is seeking validation from the faceless internet.
I don't know who I need to yell this to, but this is a complete NO-NO. When you seek validation for outside sources, they are BOUND to let YOU down. Because with the internet, praise comes with criticism.
A lot of folks on Twitter are angry because mental health is being taken lightly, as society takes it. Kai and Zilv's actions are directly contradictory to HELPING someone get over their "Depression" now can I see Kai using his Drag as helping? yes. But at the same time he is sticking up his middle finger to everyone which is a contradictory move.
And Zilv posting about how "hot and sexy" Kai is, is also very superficial. Which brings me to my next point.
HYPOCRISY - Which I will address when I get a chance. Disclaimer - Thoughts are my own - No one need to agree or hate on.
