Because it feels like we’re all lying to each other. Lying and saying we never cared, censoring his name, writing him out of fics and posts and the story of the dsmp

it feels wrong, it feels like everyone is choosing to take the moral high ground because thats the Safe option, because this fandom is full to the fucking brim of people who treat morality like it’s black and white

and i could do it too, ive been tempted to. I could say that my first impression of him was that he was a dick, and thats not necessarily a lie

it’s just not what i always thought of him, because i thought he was kind and funny and sweet, a whole fucking lot of us did. i don’t think its wrong to say that i miss the person i thought he was

and i don’t think its wrong to say that i Will support him If he ever makes an effort to change for the better

that ‘if’ carries a lot in that sentence, but it doesn’t make it untrue

I don’t think trying to write someone out of our history is the right choice, understanding and acknowledging that he is/was a bad person is good, but trying to completely remove him? That feels like lying, to ourselves and each other

Edit: i realise i should have made this clear before but i am firmly on shelbys side of this situation, and anyone who is going to be demonising victims on my post will be blocked
