I need to get this out...
I was trying to craft some long and eloquent, point-by-point post but words fail me as I struggle with the ridiculousness of the situation. Iāve taken some time to really think about what has transpired and this is what I have to say:
All things taken out of context can be made to look like evidence that someone is crazy or has ill intentions.
The accusation that opinion blog imsebastiansatan poses any serious threat to anyone is a long shot. She refers to Sebastianās penis as a croissant for christās sake. Sure, maybe some of the things she suggested in jest were out of line but to believe she would actually act on what she flippantly said in a chat that was mostly mindless gossip and a bunch of fangirls thirsting over a celebrity (which is just a micro-version of tumblr now that I think about it...) is beyond far-fetched. The person accusing Kevin of beingĀ āobsessed with sleeping with Sebastianā obviously took the chat way too seriously. There is no predatory goal, at least none beyond that of a regular fangirl. (Said blogger also used a birthday cake as evidence of Kevinās delusional ways at one point... so Iāll just leave this here.) Itās one thing to not agree with someone or the way they run their blog, itās quite another to accuse them of being a potential stalker.
I know Iām going to be lumped in as being part of the cult and that this post will seem like part of the backpedaling that was mentioned, but Kevinās stated before that she wasnāt going to stick around much longer beyond TIFF, something a certain blogger knew about and even asked about on said chat (which I can prove). To insinuate that the deleting of the blog is happening simply because of this drama and because of an impending threat of exposure is completely false.
But as opinion blogs go, each narrative can be as valid as you make it and people are allowed to believe whatever it is that they want to believe. This is just my understanding of the situation as someone from what can be considered the āinside.ā I wonāt pretend Iām unbiased; Iāve definitely spoken more often and to further lengths with Kevin than I have with the other blogger involved but (I like to think) Iām not so blinded by faith, loyalty or friendship that I would lie to myself and others about a potential stalker.
I donāt mean to start anything, I just canāt stand to watch someone get maligned in the way Kevin was, and in such a cruel and unfounded fashion; I know I shouldnāt really deign this situation a response at all and so this will probably be deleted soon... but I needed to clear the air.
If this convinces you to stop engaging with me on my blog, then Iām sorry, I really am. My genuine belief is that Kevin is not a harmful or potentially dangerous person. If actual evidence surfaces to prove I am wrong, I will readily and willingly rectify my response to this situation and apologize for speaking on behalf of someone who could bring harm to others.
