Gonna break my silence real quick — It's a rant about Mico and his connection to epic. It's just a massive complain rant.
Ignore this if you want, I just want it off my chest. I will probably not put this in the epic tags because I do not wanna argue.
I feel like you guys forget he has his own projects and has his own plans to perform his own songs outside epic. Don't ask him if he can perform songs like "Legendary" or "We'll be fine" during his concerts because he doesn't want to. If you guys water him down to just Telemachus, I hope you guys know that you aren't true fans. He has his own identity and he has his own personality. Don't even dare to say that you can do whatever because he "would be okay with it", no the fuck he won't be. He's not okay with being called Telemachus. He's a person too but some of you seem to not listen, I know I may sound like a killjoy to you little cringlings who don't seem to understand what a boundary is but that's just the truth you need to shove down your throat. Ever since epic ended, the fandom seemed to just grow toxic, when I first joined, my biggest fear was literally the fandom going toxic, now that newgens are joining and telling Mico he's nothing more than just Telemachus and not his own person, it just proves my point that the fandom is toxic even to the cast. He even said he wants his stage persona and his role in epic to be seperate. I've completely disassociated from epic hoping to come back once ilium drops but I also want to say that the specific crowd I'm targeting are bold as hell for harassing the voice actors themselves, sure some of the voice actors are fine with using their EPIC roles in their concerts but Mico does not want that, there's a difference between their preferences and his preferences, I'm not saying this to baby him, allow me to say it again: HE. DOES. NOT. WANT. TO. BE. CALLED. TELEMACHUS.
It could count as harassment if you guys insist that he is Telemachus, because he's not an object of your fantasies, he made it clear that he used his real name for the credits instead of his stage name because he wants his roles sperated, like I said earlier, I feel like if we put ourselves in his shoes, I think we can all agree that if we have our own projects and is/was part of another major project, we'd use our real names instead of our well known names so that people don't make us live a role we have to constantly put up for, give it some thought and ask yourself: "If I were in Mico's shoes and someone insists that I'm are nothing more than my role in a project but I have my own dreams and own life, should I even let it slide?"
I feel like most of us wouldn't let it slide especially if it makes us uncomfortable for someone to think so lowly of us when we literally did something big for ourselves and they're just sitting behind a screen belittling us and saying we're nothing, because I thought of it and it's actually hard to be famous because you're expected to do things, you're expected to keep up with the world's trends and what's new, even from someone as low in online popularity as me, I understand their struggle, because with fame, you sacrifice things, there's always a price to pay when it comes to fame, that includes harassment. Mico doesn't deserve the treatment we give him because he treats us, his fans, as actual people. Basic human decency is to treat someone as an equal, you can admire them as long as you don't treat them any less than a person and please do not reference EPIC infront of him especially since not all amicos are EPIC fans. With that all said and done, I hope we don't have more issues like this in the future because I'm not a big fan of issues.
