I am not one to use social media, but this whole sh*t show is something I will not take sitting down. Iâve seen some messed up things on the internet, but the cyberbullying by the âCamilyâ is really disturbing me. Before I get to my criticisms and thoughts, I will briefly address Luke Deacon. The allegations against him are not without evidence, namely from a public social media account. One of these allegations is very serious, and can be considered ârevenge p*rn which can actually lead to charges in the UK. Iâm not sure if itâs the same in the UK, but in my country Luke can be legally labeled as a sex offender if convicted! This is all I know of the situation but since many of Lukeâs fans are underage girls who are also fans of Queen and the Bohemian Rhapsody movie I donât feel this issue can be totally ignored. I consider Luke âinnocent until proven guiltyâ, as I am an inhabitant of Freedom Land. The first issue I will address is both of Camâs parents, as I want to discuss them before the âCamilyâ as theyâre not directly involved with the cyber bullying, at least to my knowledge. I admit that I have never met John or Veronica Deacon. I have no knowledge of the intimate details of their family life, and their parenting skills. I do have a fair amount of knowledge of Johnâs time with Queen as he is my favorite surviving member of Queen. I find researching his life and trying to understand someone who seems an overlooked and complex figure in music. Yes, John is Camâs father and to me heâs an interest, a subject I enjoy learning and trying to understand him like I do with other things Iâm interested in. Meanwhile, to Cameron he is âdadâ. I understand that it must be hard seeing people on the internet either make untrue statements or discuss aspects of oneâs father that isnât flattering. I get it, But Leopard (my nickname for the victim) made it clear when replying to asks that she doesnât know things and addressed when discussions involved speculation or rumors. She also made it very clear that she didnât like discussing Johnâs competence as a father and his children. These subjects made her uncomfortable but she still addressed them in a respectful way. John Deacon was a part of one of the biggest bands in the world. People are going to discuss him. Leopard didnât do anything wrong. She admitted that John Deacon had flaws but was still sure to admit that she doesnât know the whole story. I think her attitude is reasonable. I saw the stream the night Camâs parents came on stream. At first I saw it quite humorous with a boomer bumbling in, ignoring his surroundings. He almost seemed senile. But as the stream went on things got uncomfortable and my attitude changed. Camâs parents were doing the right thing as loving parents. They came over because Cam has a history of not managing his diabetes properly. His father (his mother explained) was becoming worried about his sonâs glucose levels and tried to contact him. When he wouldnât pick up his phone his father became worried and the two went over. Cameron was peeved and rude to them. I donât think John cared about if people on the internet saw him. He was too focused on making sure his son wasnât in danger and that his phone was charged. He only left when he knew his sonâs levels werenât too low and his phone was charging. He even mentioned off screen that he brought some treats (I have no idea what he said, and if it was a favorite sweet or what) from the store. Iâm just making an observation of a stranger peeking in, but I think itâs clear John adores his son. Maybe the scant bit of interaction I observed of John Deacon as a person (instead of Queenâs bassist) was of a devoted father who was telling his adult son âI love you, I want you to be happy and I will be devastated if anything happened to youâ without saying it verbally. People have different ways of showing their love. I know (per interviews with John) he experienced loss at a very young age when his father passed away. I donât know Johnâs personal thoughts and relationship with Freddie Mercury and how his death affected him personally, but watching someoneâs health decline due to AIDS is probably an upsetting and unforgettable experience. I bring these two examples up because this to me suggests Camâs dad knows first hand how delicate and precious life is, wisdom that Cam seems blissfully unaware of due to his disregard of his parentsâ anxiety. Cam obviously knows his father better than I can ever, but sometimes itâs good to have a different perspective. On to Mama Deacon. Yes, she was shouting at her adult son while he was live on stream. Like Camâs father, she was completely in the right. When she said they were making sure Cam âwasnât deadâ and that Camâs life was at stake, she was not being overly dramatic. If a diabeticâs blood sugar is too low their body can actually go into shock and than into a coma. If one doesnât manage their diabetes this can happen and it can kill you. Diabetes is a life threatening condition. Iâm not a diabetic, and Iâm sure it sucks and isnât easy to manage. Cameron is an adult at 27. His parents will not always be around to help him. If he wants to live by himself his priority should be learning to manage his diabetes without his parentsâ help. His life literally depends on it. His glucose levels is far more important than his streaming career. Until he proves he can consistently manage himself to them his glucose levels are their business. Additionally, since they pay for his flat itâs technically theirâs and thus can come over when ever they want. If anyone was being âinappropriateâ it was Cam. His mother carried him for nine months, at age 43. For a woman her age, pregnancy can be risky and very hard on her body. She has cared for her sonâs health issues, helped him through school and has loved him unconditionally. She seems to have done everything she can to protect Cam and pushed him to be the best person he can be. And this is only what Iâm aware of. At her age, she should only leave her home when completely necessary to protect herself from Covid-19, for she is in the age group most at risk. Her son wouldnât even leave his chair to greet her. Do you know how my parents would react to me if I acted the way Cam did Sunday? Most people can only dream about the privileges Cam has. Again, I donât know everything about Camâs life but what I saw was a mother and father trying to do what is best for their son. If Cam is so concerned about his parentsâ privacy, why didnât he turn off his stream? He couldâve even walked off to talk to his parents rather than continuing to play and yelling at them from his chair? This whole situation can be solved simply by Cam answering his phone, keeping it charged or even walking off camera to talk to his parents rather than barking orders from his screen. As I said earlier, to them their son seems more important to them rather than their privacy. Cam makes such a big deal over their privacy but I think he also has to respect his parentsâ feelings and all that they do for him. Part of respecting them should include making a better effort to take care of himself. Five hours without food excepting a bowl of cereal could give me low blood sugar to the point of trembling and not being able to concentrate. Since Cam did just that, maybe his parentsâ concern of his blood sugar is not without merit. Cam mentions his mental health issues and depression. One of the ways to help stabilize his mood would be stabilizing his blood sugar. The Camily should consider my words as they criticized Camâs parentsâ behavior. I have addressed the Mama and Papa elephant in the room, I will now focus mainly on Camâs âCamilyâ. Due to time restraints, I will address the Camily in a later post. In the mean time, there is a difference between âhatersâ and critics. A hater says things simply to hurt or insult. A critic disagrees for a reason. If anyone thinks Iâm a hater that needs to be âbunny blockedâ go right ahead. I donât care what strangers, many of them children think of me. I think bunnies are cute. Send me bunny emojis if you all think Iâm spreading hate. This will only lend more evidence that the Camily is leading an internet harassment campaign. BTW I have been owned by pet rabbits since I was seven. Let me tell you, Mr. Bunny is unhappy to know his good name and image is being used as a symbol to bully. No, I am not jealous of Cam. I am proud of my family and wouldnât trade them for any other. My dad has a profession I consider noble and was the one who raised me. The same goes for my mother. My extended and nuclear family includes firemen, a priest, nurses, teachers, librarians, a researcher studying cancer, a lawyer and engineers. None are famous but I donât care. They are good people and it doesnât matter how much the public knows about them or how much they earn. What matters to me is that they work hard and have a strong moral character. If you do wish to harass me, I ask of one thing. Show my post to Cameron Deacon and have him read my post (and any later ones I hope to soon put up) on his Livestream. If Cameron thinks Iâm being a bully or am wrong about anything, please have him show this to his parents, the two people who love him more than anyone else does. If they think Iâm wrong about anything or am bullying their son, have them PM me so we can discuss. Do not bully anyone who posts or likes this.
