As someone who was bullied, I don't find it cute or harmless that a person who talks so much about kindness is still actively choosing to be with a bully. I honestly wish I could get rid of my convention tickets. There are things that are broken and need replacing, and I put that off just so I could meet him. Now I'm left wondering where my money is going. Another designer bag for a bully who doesn't even work? It's making me feel sick.
I think this is a very valid and real feeling, anon! It’s a bit unnerving in a way - she’s been outed as someone who talks down on her friends, the older things she’s done in the past she’s been called out on, and how she has presented herself doesn’t line up with his professional image.
Now. We don’t know him. We don’t know her. We can never really know the story.
But it is uncomfortable for fans that he could overlook that - I think this is a very ‘normal’ type of parasocial, so to speak. You’re being let down by someone who is making you question your view of him.
Understandable!
I think you should prioritize what’s important. If you don’t feel comfortable going, sell your tickets.
Just don’t do it impulsively! Think about it a bit before you do it. You might wish you had gone through with meeting him.
But I do say to do what feels right.
