Everyone’s like going crazy about everything going on with Wilbur and Shelby but the thing is, and this is aimed at people that say “i always knew that—“ How would you know? Do you know them without the personas they put up for you online? Have you seen them without them knowing cameras were around? (Hopefully not, that sounds weird.)
E.g.
“Wilbur always acted kind of weird”
And you know that, how? Because his persona was like that? People need to understand that you do not know these people neither do they know you. They have online personas. How they act online/in front of an audience is not how they act in real life privately.
“Shelby and Wilbur were close on camera!!”
On camera. A good reference would be family pictures. You know how you take like birthday pictures and it’s always awkward that you have to smile so that it looks like you’re happy in the picture? Thats almost basically what a persona is, you’re acting a certain way so that others that see content with you acting that way think you are that way and act like that naturally even without cameras.
But yeah, my point is that people need to stop assuming that “they knew” when three (?) days ago Wilbur was literally their favourite person ever.
no one knows the definite answer. no one. no one could have known shit.
we still don't know much of anything.
I can't find the vod anywhere, I cannot find clips that are evidence of what was said. i cannot find what SHELBY said. all I've heard is what has been told to me by people harassing me in my asks, and what I've seen on Twitter.
it was never confirmed they dated, and if we function under the assumption they did there is more to it than we are being told. much. much more.
I am saying this as an abuse victim myself. as someone who's been a victim and had my abusers friends (including mine, aside from one) turn against me because of what had been said, because of how they victimized themself. I thought it was my fault, I was 12 & 13. it was not my fault.
my experiences have made me learn there is always more to a story.
believe victims first, but know yourself too. if you start to feel like you're saying or believing something because you *have* to or are being forced/told to believe it, take a step back and reevaluate for YOU.
i respect everyone's decision, and opinions. they may not be mine, but I respect it.
sorry, I kind of started ranting, but I hope I got my point across.
reminder; anon asks are off, so don't think about harassing me
