Every couple of months, some brand new person who just discovered Joe and doesn’t know the difference between a down and a defensive edge likes to come on here, and clutch their pearls about how disrespectful RPF is to Joe/Olivia/Zac Taylor/Jesus Christ.
And it’s so funny how in the process of presenting themselves as holier than thou, they gloss over the fact we are talking about Tumblr which has like 30 active users left on it.
Even for the handful of us who get a high level of engagement, it pales in comparison to say, thirst edits on Tik Tok; a platform that his actual friends and family are on and therefor have an increased likelihood of him coming across them.
You want to know what’s actually disrespectful and creepy?
-Stalking Joe’s friends and family, taking their most personal moments for “content.”
-Harassing his partner and her family so badly, even after they have blocked some of you, just to create multiple burners to message her siblings because you’re so desperate for attention.
-Digging up photos of his partner from when she was a minor child in an effort to be the first to post “rares.”
-Making up fake facts about his partner in some “noble” attempt to “defend” her honor even though she has made it very clear she doesn’t want stans and has done everything short of crawling into a damn hole because she’s clearly tired of it.
-Spending multiple hours of the day on your mom’s WiFi looking at who Joe is following and then posting “wElL iM nOt tRyInG tO sTaRt rUmOrS bUT,” subsequently keeping unsavory and unproven rumors about him alive.
These are all real things that have actually happened, yet you want to present a hypothetical situation as if it’s morally equivalent. Make it make sense.
Everyone is free to like what they like or don’t like. But don’t call the one thing that keeps this tag and community alive “wrong” while participating in behavior more problematic than it.
