some fucking gremlins, every time: lmao i hope he ends up being shitty!! I hope he ends up being an abuser or a pedo lmao!! I hope real life people are being abused just so I can say i told you so!! I hope he’s secretly horrible just because I don’t like seeing other people enjoy his content!!! lmao!!
nobody hopes these things, they expect them, which is a massive difference when you consider hyper-cautious and crass attitudes towards famous guys are symptoms of people used to going through bigotry and abuse, dispute or ignore horror stories if you see them, but don’t get all excited and caught up in building this narrative of the “gremlins” as if they’re these mindless angry boogeymen
it does less harm to care more about where people come from, instead of how people present
i’ve literally seen people saying they can’t wait for the mcelroy’s to end up being sex perverts so they don’t have to see them anymore. what are you even talking about
We’re not going to pretend that Tumblr tried to falsely accuse Thomas Sanders of pedophilia? OK Tumblr, I see you.
weren’t there people hoping that exact thing for warriormale
Yes they were, just like how they were so incredibly eager to run off xkit guy based on a single anon accusing him of rape with no evidence at all.
Tumblr is a site full of bitter ass gremlins who wish for others to turn out problematic in order to feel morally superior in their ganging up on them.
I’m here, I’m queer, and I refuse to let people erase the fact that our elders shed blood in the name of reclamation so I’m proud of my identity as a queer person in their honor.
no offense but broadway and other forms of high theater should be more accessible and should at the very least be taped and released for easy home viewing when they close
people are going to pirate broadway shows regardless bc most people cant AFFORD to drop hundreds of dollars on tickets, and a working-class family in flyover country is probably not gonna have the chance to see a musical in broadway or chicago or california etc. very often!
but their parents could probably buy them a DVD for their birthday! so why should children (especially young actors) be deprived of art bc of their class or location? wouldnt allowing people who literally cannot access theater to buy or rent high-quality, official recordings benefit the arts better than forcing them to pirate it?
and so many of these shows close and are all but lost to the majority of the population! thats fucked up. just record them!!!! fuck!!!!!
there’s a section of the new york public library that has access to theaterical recordings…..but it’s only accessible to students and theater professionals who need it to study. cmon!! people should be allowed to view this stuff.
for a lot of people, getting to watch legally blonde the musical on mtv or listening to a recording – accessible, affordable forms of theater – made them dedicated lovers of the arts. they inspire actors and singers and animatics and composers. why deprive these people????
and people might say “well no one will buy tickets!!” which is absurd. i watch hockey games on television all the time and i still buy tickets to see it in-person because live is a whole different experience! and like…..you dont know theater people. they’ll gladly see the same show 50 times. lots of people see shows BECAUSE they already access it through stuff like bootlegs or albums already so whats the point! its not like they wouldnt make bank off of theater nerds buying recordings anyway!
anyway, high-end musicals should be recorded and released on dvd and streaming services and played on public television thank u
also recorded shows can have subtitles, descriptive audio, and translations for accessibility
If you condone or support harassment of the crew or the fans, you are not welcome here.
I think it’s time I actually show my stance on the whole discourse, because I’m tired of hearing about the crew working on VLD getting harassed again and again.
So let it be known that this blog is NOT ANTI-FRIENDLY.
Please unfollow this blog if you support harassment of anyone, or reblog frequently from people who do.
The people working on the show DO NOT deserve all the shit they’ve gone through and you people who keep being literal asses to the crew do not deserve to enjoy a show you keep shitting on like you do.
if you’re white. being,,,not straight ,,does not give you a “poc card”. i think a lot of you think it does. like being ,,not straight,,does not mean you can seperate yourself from other white people.
