So i went to the Adventure Time Q+A Panel with Jeremy Shada and it was amazing. But someone went way out of line and asked him an awful question about LGBT+ rep and was essentially dogging on him and then ended their stupid rant with “are you gonna fix that?” and he responded so professionally and so calmly to the rude question/comment. you can HEAR everyone in the room grown and cringe because WHY would you ask something like that.
So he also has a autograph area after. so my friend and I ran down so we could see him. when we talked to jeremy the first thing i said was “im so sorry about the panel” and he just responds with something along the lines of
“its hard to please everyone. its nearly impossible. I tried my best to respond to it in a correct way but it wasn’t what she wanted… i wasn’t good enough. it was a really awkward situation and when its on social media I try not to respond as so I dont add fuel to the fire and I try to stay away from that part of the fandom. in real life its much harder to handle because when its in front of a group of people like that, its hard to try and please them. you can feel the whole room get tense and it just makes a bad situation out of it all for the moment.”
im not sure if it was his manager or just a staff member for bcc but he was standing next to jeremy, counting the money for the photo ops and whatnot. so he thanked us for being so considerate because thats “all his character gets”. which i can only assume to mean Jeremy gets So Much Shit about lance and all of the ships.
But Jeremy is now my new favourite celebrity. He honestly was super sweet and genuine and thanked us for being so “appreciative and cool” and he gave us an extra hug and talked with us for a while. He didnt rush us through our conversation and when talking to him it felt like talking to a friend honestly. i will forever respect and love how patient he is and how much stuff he has to put up with.
I love you Jeremy, you dont deserve any of the shit you get from the awful part of this fandom. I personally appreciate you more than you know and you are too pure of a person for you to get this much hate. I have never met anyone kinder or more appreciative. You took the time to talk to me and my friend Gabby and ask her questions about how long her Allura cosplay took to make. You genuinely care about your fans and I feel it. We all can. I love you. Thank you for being such a good person.
