jamie rant incoming bc these chronically online people are going way too far and its genuinely pissing me off.
1. seeing the comment on jamies post saying he "relapsed" made me physically nauseous. how fucking dare you. how do you claim to be a fan and then say something so incredibly fucked up? like actually what the fuck. youre scum. youre not a fan in any sense of the word bc fans SUPPORT the artist. saying something like that is utterly DISGUSTING behavior, you DO NOT under ANY circumstance say that to a recovered addict. im appalled at the person that commented those horrendous words, you know who you are and its people like you that are a poison to this earth. you can say it's "a joke" all you want but no one is laughing. recovery is not a joke.
my brother is a recovered alcoholic, I've seen how hard that journey is first hand. its a long, difficult and ugly road, but getting there is an achievement, something to feel proud of. to feel free of escaping this substance that had its claws in you for years. it destroys relationships, causes turmoil, it amps up the mocking voices in your head and turns you into someone that you dont even recognize anymore. and in my brothers case, it nearly led to suicide. I thank god everyday that his attempt failed. he's 2 years sober and its been so great to see him be his goofy self again and im so incredibly proud of him.
jamies sobriety journey is something he takes so much pride in and speaks publicly about it so he can help other people that struggle with the same issue. that man does nothing but spread love and kindess and you comment that bullshit on a post of his new project that hes worked hard on and is excited to share with us. FUCK YOU.
if anyone even remotely considers saying something that vile to jamie, or anyone recovering/recovered, kindly fuck right off and either seek help or go to hell bc youre not welcome in this space.
2. why the FUCK do people care SO MUCH about jamies personal life??? his girlfriends to be specific. the parasocialism is so bad that these people spend all the time theyre awake scouring the internet for every little scrap of "gossip" or "proof" of his relationships or lack there of, and they make full on excel spreadsheets about it.
like hey. thats SUPER fucking weird. its no wonder jamie isnt active online nearly as much as he used to be bc alot of these so called "fans" are obsessive parasocial stalkers that make these blogs bc what? you dont like who he's dating? hey why dont you grow the fuck up. like do you actually think hes going to read your blog and think "man, this random stranger online doesnt like my girlfriend so i guess I'll break up with her." LIKE HUH!!???? YOURE DELUSIONAL.
news flash; you dont have to like his partner, just bc youre his fan doesn't mean you have to be her fan. just support HIM and HIS ART. he's a grown ass man, im pretty sure at 37 he knows how to handle the trials and tribulations that come with relationships and knows how to end them if need be. and if he does end it, he doesnt have to announce it. ITS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. people keep speculating "oh he'll annouce that theyre broken up soon" THE FUCK???? he doesnt owe us any explanation bc its HIS PRIVATE LIFE.
these people try to say "its not parasocial, im just trying to expose who she really is" okay well if she is a bad person he doesnt need your "help". HE'LL FIGURE IT OUT. like....do you hear yourself...delving into someone's private life, their likes on social media, scrolling through their follow lists, taking note of stuff theyve deleted just to try and "expose them" bc you have "receipts" is extremely parasocial like genuinely check yourself into an asylum bc thats not healthy. youre fucked in the head if you think otherwise.
ive said it before and ill say it again; as long as jamie is happy, im happy bc his happiness is beautiful and infectious.
so to those that run those blogs, PLEASE get a job, get an actual hobby, volunteer at a soup kitchen, knit a sweater, take a yoga class, go door to door spreading the good word of jesus christ i dont fucking care seriously just do anything else but be a creepy psychopath that dissects every aspect of his life bc its FUCKING WEIRD. the fact that the people behind these accounts see nothing wrong with what theyre doing is parasocialism at its peak.
to jamie, i love and support you and thank you for the positive impact you've had in my life. im proud of your sobriety journey and the incredible art you've made and continue to make. if anyone on this earth is an angel, its you. please know we're not all parasocial creeps, most of us are REAL fans that back you 100% đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤
i had to get that off my chest. carry on.
