I havent posted in ages, but I have to say this about Seb’s instagram post today:
Look. I know how hard it is when your fave does something shitty. But if you can’t even admit it w/o caveating your admission with a million “BUTs” then that’s equally as shitty. Sebastian fucked up. Don’t you dare come at me w excuses or tell me to, and this is rich, LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!! as if he’s a child who needs protecting or as if fans with concerns are just shitting on him with no reason. If any one of us posted that meme, we’d get told what was up, and that’s good. We should be told. We should be educated. It’s not call-out culture when the action in question is in such fucking bad taste that when I saw it, I looked like that whitemanblinking.gif
You don’t have to hate him. Telling him he fucked up is not “piling” on. Especially when he doubles down on that “my intentions were not” defensive shit. I’ve spent thousands of dollars meeting this man multiple times. I’m a stan. And that means I’m gonna lovingly tell him what’s up. Lovingly. But still gonna tell him. And I lose respect for anyone who believes he shouldn’t be told or that his “intentions” should just be taken at face value because news flash: intentions aren’t what we see. Actions are. Simple as.
Also, fandom as a whole needs to stop gassing him up about memes. Now he thinks a meme means he can do no wrong. We shoulda seen this coming with that pedo mustache controversy ya’ll.
Also also, ONE last thing. How hard would it have been to say “Shit, I’m sorry, this meme was funny and I didn’t realize the impact it would have, that’s my bad, here’s another meme instead, GO SEE ITONYA!” Not hard. Not hard at all, and instead he comes out with this weird defensive “you know what’s in my heart” bullshit. Well, yes, I know you’re sweet and kind but I also know you like Woody Allen and will literally do anything for a laugh so….[Frysideye.gif]
Now I have RICC tickets and no desire to use them, and no ability to refund them. I’m hoping that he steps up to this and proves that he’s not just stann-able when he’s leaving sweet messages on Insta, when there’s literally nothing at stake. I hope he leans more Hemsworth here than Pratt. We’ll see.
He fucked up, he should own his mistakes. He’s human, he’s problematic, we all are and fucking up is what we do. We fuck up, we apologize, we learn from our mistakes, we get on, rinse, repeat.
What happened?
@theprinceofprinces seb posted a meme on his instagram that was just distasteful
