If 2 people don’t like each other, the natrual response is to avoid them. That’s the natrual response. We all like things we like, and we all dislike things we dislike.
I , for one, dislike heights, so i avoid them.
There are people in my life that i dislike, so i avoid them too.
So I don’t get why you’d spend precious time outta your day - which could be spent on nigh infinite other things- just to go around starting shit, you know?
Listen, I’ll be frank.
( Well, I’ll be Hime. I’m not called Frank. )
If you’re reading this post, you might know who it’s about...if you don’t, then that’s fine, that just means it doesn’t concern you, right~? try not to worry about it.
Hopefully- (a pipe dream, i know.)- this will be the last this shit is ever mentioned.
So. I have some friends, that, truthfully, i originally met through tumblr quite a while ago (even if they aren’t here anymore.)
So... Dev and Norgie...that’s the names they go by, yeah?
We’re friends, yeah. I’ll say that.
Sure, we’re not mega close friends b any stretch. Of course, thats partly my own self-isolating nature to blame, but I can gladly call them friends! I’ve spoken to them a few times...we’ve had a few disagreements and stuff, (as happens. I have disagreements with people in my life pretty much every day, since i’m a pretty disagreeable person, so that kind of stuff is normal.)
Buuut yeah, they aren’t on tumblr anymore. They were driven off by...well, a constant never ending stream of hatred, really.
All that hate sent their way could have been time spent doing anything else, more productive, but i digress.
What’s done is done, right? they’re off the site! it’s over!
but for SOME REASON...people are still going around spreading shit about them? spreading false things about them, to boot?
Listen.
I’m not gonna say ‘Dev is a saint’ , nor am i gonna say that he’s the best friend in the world. He has his flaws.
I have my flaws, too.
As someone who grew up as ‘the school bully’, I can pretty much easily say that what’s been happening is blatant bullying, yeah? Not a pretty picture. You never wanna be the bully. (speaking from experience.)
But hey, i put that kind of stuff behind me yeaaars back, cause people change, you know?
I don’t know what Dev did or didn’t do years ago. I don’t know what people against him did or didn’t do in repsonse. I have a vague picture of what happened, but I couldn’t recount the events to save my life.
All I’ve seen is The Fallout.
Really, it’s terrible.
Again, I don’t really know what Dev did or didn’t do those years ago, but whatever did or didn’t happen..he doesn’t fuckin’ deserve this, man. He’s already left the site, what more do you want?
I’m not good at putting thoughts into words, but i’ve tried.
Just leave Dev and Norgie alone, would ya? Stop talkin’ about em and shit. It’s making me feel awful seein’ their names tossed about my dash all willy nilly like some kind of viral hot potato no one wants to touch, you feel?
