An Apology
I don’t know what to believe anymore. I don’t know what’s true, what’s lies, what’s backpedaling to save yourself, who is wrong, who is right, who is crazy, who is sane, I don’t know anything anymore. So I’m just going to drop the issue entirely. Any asks I get about the topics I posted about yesterday will be deleted or answered in private (if you ask off anon). I’m going to stay true to being Jensen’s fan but I’m not going to participate in any of this anymore, it’s exhausting and stressful and in the end it’s pointless.
I just hope at some point in the future none of us have to worry about stuff like this, that none of us have to be confused when we log in for the first time one day and see hate thrown across the fandom. I hope that no one has to go on anon and ask questions because they don’t understand why everyone is so riled up on a particular day. I pray for the day when the actors we love and admire are free to do what they want, when they want, with whomever they want without backlash from their fans, or their “fans”. Truth be told I am pretty confident that Jensen has not, and will not see anything that has been discussed by the fans. I pray for the day when the people in this fandom collectively realize that these people are human beings too, that they have feelings and families and friends and dreams and hopes and wishes and futures that we only play a fraction of a part in. I hope that some time soon there is a collective realization of the defined distinction between real life and the show, that everyone comes to realize that what we see in real life does not affect what happens on the show and vice versa. I hope that despite people having favorites, be they character, actor, ship or otherwise (yes, I have my own preferences too) that we don’t burden the actors, writers or showrunners with undeserved hate or backlash because they do things, write things, or say things that don’t align perfectly with our own fantasies. I hope there comes a day when I don’t wake up worrying about what was said at a panel or in an interview because it might be misconstrued or twisted to fit some fan’s agenda. I hope there comes a day when I don’t go to sleep feeling anxious over hate because of a simple picture. I hope there comes a day when we can all just get along (as cliche as that sounds). Will this day ever come? Will the day where all of the above is true at the same time ever come? Probably not. Every single fan has their own opinions, their own story and their own view on things. There are civil people, and there are those who cannot keep their mouths shut when they should. There are people who are so sucked into their beliefs that they not only disagree with others but outright deny them and spew hate to combat them. So no, that day will never come, it’s an alignment of all the stars in the universe and that’s just an impossibility. So I am deciding to try to have a healthier and more positive outlook on my dash. I want to try to post wank far less and talk about things that make me happy. I hope that my followers, old and new, will appreciate this. Will I still have strong opinions on matters? Of course. Will I always want to come to Jensen’s defense? No doubt about it. But I am going to try to keep it more to myself and to my group of friends, people who I know I will not offend by speaking up about such things. We are never going to be a perfect ”family” but really, when has there ever been a perfect family? There are always quirks and disagreements and arguments over simple matters, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to ignore what bothers us and embrace what makes us happy.
