*Another mini rant for those of you who want my opinion, or don’t want it. I just have to get it out before I lose my mind.*
I had to get off Tumblr last night. Not because I was getting spammed and not because what Mark did was making me anxious, I’d gotten over that.
I had to get off Tumblr last night because people are attacking Mark, and I was not okay with it and I’m still not and here’s why:
1. He’s driving home after having been away from a month. He’s in a car, with his dog, driving home. He’s not all consumed with this stupid blue site like we are, so if he hasn’t addressed all this crap, that’s most likely why.
2. He did NOT mean for this to happen. He didn’t mean to mock PMA (this is a man who lost a friend to suicide, went through a period of depression himself, and has said many times that he cares about the mental health and well-being of his fans), and he did not mean for his fans to harass people. He has said MULTIPLE TIMES that if you bully people, you DON’T belong in this community. Period.
3. He is NOT responsible for the immaturity of some of his fans who took this WAY too far and the others who are now trying to point the finger at him because he’s an easy target in all this. He’s not our BABYSITTER. He expects us to act like DECENT HUMAN BEINGS ON OUR OWN.
In other words, I don’t blame Mark for this. I’m not expecting him to address it until after he’s had time to rest. If you want a reaction from him now, it would likely not be his best because he’s likely exhausted. Please be patient. Please be respectful, and most of all, please stay safe if this is effecting you in a bad way. It’s ok to take a step back. Take it from someone who did so herself.
That is all. I really don’t want to say anymore. I think that I’ve made my thoughts here clear, but if you do have any questions or comments, you can DM me because I won’t clutter my blog with this. Stay gold, cutie pies.
