angry ex-swmrs fans: wow billie joe is a piece of shit for not airing out his family business to millions of people about how his son, who he raised and loved, groomed a teen girl
billie joe, 1998: yeah a lot of people have pushed me into sexual situations after i’ve said no. it’s felt invasive
it’s obvious people don’t actually care about lydia knight and just want to blame this on someone so they don’t have to put responsibility onto the rest of swmrs like cole, seb or max lol. like bisexual men are 50% likely to have suffered childhood sexual abuse and 67% likely to have suffered assault as an adult and 83% of these assaults have been committed by other men. and that’s just what’s been reported.
you honestly don’t think that billie joe armstrong, bisexual icon who’s had people kiss and grope him without his consent on stage/while being filmed hasn’t experienced some sort of sexual assault of his own? like if that’s what happens in broad view, you don’t think worse has happened behind closed doors? you don’t think he has tried his very best to teach consent to his children and he’s shocked and horrified and trying his best to cope that his son is a piece of shit regardless of getting everything he’s ever wanted in life? he’s called joey his baby well into joey’s 20’s, he’s tried to give everything he can to him so he can have the life he never had growing up, and his son has turned out to be one of the very types of people that he’s worked to avoid.
he doesn’t owe it to anyone to explain his grief and disappointment or whatever he’s feeling about the situation, because honestly? it’s none of our business. lydia isn’t asking for billie to say anything, so this call for him to speak isn’t for her lol. like these people do not exist in the real world if they don’t think a father like billie joe would have deeply complicated feeling about this whole situation
how unbelievably selfish and un-empathetic lol
