People Saying “not The Wilbur Support Talking” Like It Makes Any Fucking Difference To Spread Awareness

oh, is it gonna be an annual thing where i'll be forced to face the fact that an uncomfortable amount of people on the internet have little reading comprehension and will believe the first thing they hear about a situation with no thought of proof or being lied to whatsoever? alright.

Doodle of Wilbur now unfortunately did from memory

sexymen and trisha dont discriminate between the sinners and the saints ig

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

That’s just fucked up. I hope you’re doing alright.

Serious Talk

I am so fucking done. I’ve stayed quiet for too long hoping this would stop, hoping that if I didn’t engage too much, maybe it would just die down. But it hasn’t. It’s only gotten worse.

For the small number of people who follow me on my alt account or know me through my content on YouTube, you’re probably aware that I don’t stir up drama. I don’t look for conflict. I mind my own business, make the things I love, and try to stay in my lane. But for the past month—maybe longer—there has been this one person, a self-proclaimed Shubble supporter who goes by the name Tankevelyn, who has made it their mission to harass me constantly. Not because I’m part of WSS. Not because I did anything to them. But because I exist. Because I’m me.

Let that sink in for a second.

This person has commented on almost every single one of my community posts, replied to my videos, and even gone out of their way to harass someone close to me—my friend and platonic partner—on their channel. It’s obsessive. It’s invasive. It’s gross. And I’m done letting it slide.

This has affected more than just my online presence. It’s drained me emotionally. It’s made me second-guess every post I make. Every word I say. Every part of myself I put out there. This isn't just "internet drama." This is targeted harassment, and I don’t care how petty or insignificant some people might think it is. When someone chips away at your mental peace every day for weeks, it’s not “just online.” It’s personal. And it hurts.

I’m going to be uploading an unlisted video and linking it right here soon. That video is going to show everything—screenshots, timelines, receipts. All of it. Not because I want attention or pity, but because I need people to see how far this has gone. How much I’ve put up with. And yes, in full transparency: I wasn’t perfect in my responses. I was angry. I was tired. I lashed out in ways I’m not proud of, and I won’t pretend otherwise. But when you’re being pushed this hard for this long, there comes a point where you stop trying to be the bigger person and start trying to survive the situation. That’s where I’m at.

I’ve already made this video before, addressing this person and another who thankfully backed off. But clearly, this isn’t over. And I shouldn’t have to keep asking the same thing over and over again like it’s unreasonable: leave me the fuck alone.

Respect people’s boundaries. It's not a hard concept. If someone blocks you, if someone tells you to stop, you stop. You don’t dig deeper. You don’t drag their friends into it. You don’t stalk their content like a parasite and then act like they’rethe problem when they finally snap.

This kind of behavior doesn’t just discourage creators. It dehumanizes them. It tells people like me that no matter how much we try to create something meaningful or share our voice, there will always be someone lurking, waiting to tear it apart for sport.

And frankly? That’s disgusting.

To the people who’ve supported me, thank you. You’ve kept me grounded. You’ve reminded me I’m not alone in this. But to Tankevelyn—I’m done. You’ve crossed every line. Grow up.

Lucky, you're a biased simp. Don't you even care?

Ok, Anon, here's your long-form answer.

If you are as sick of my voice as I am, skip this whole post. Scroll along.

I’ve been criticized recently of being biased, caring for Will’s well-being but not for Shelby’s well-being. That’s partially valid, but like all people with an excuse, wait, wait, let me explain.

Why focus on him, when there is no version of this where he is innocent of wrongdoing (regardless of whether you accept the abuse label)? Where’s the sympathy and concern for Shelby? “You’re just biased.”

Let's take them in order.

Shelby’s Well-Being

Do I care? Yes. 

Am I concerned? Not in the least.

 When she came forward, she said silence was no longer keeping her peace, so she spoke. (Pardon my paraphrasing.) She received a deluge of support from her friends, the CC community, and the public. She expressed immense gratitude and seemed to be moved and bolstered by the unexpected outpouring. 

Is she still affected by Will’s actions? Are there scars that we can’t see? Of course. I’m a happy, married adult, but I still carry the scars of past events and relationships. I have insecurities that even still, years later, I can trace back to my college boyfriend’s behavior and the compromises I made because I believed in him. And there are others. My marriage is a work-in-progress (spoiler: they all are), and I’m still compromising and healing. That’s life. That’s womanhood. We are complicated, strong, and always learning. I don’t know her obviously, but I know myself.

No intervention is needed to save her from mistreatment. There's no imminent danger of continuing harm. This is the healing phase. There is every indication that she is thriving, caring for herself, and finding the strength and support she needs to handle the process of healing.  Her future looks pretty damn bright, she seems to be crushing it, and that‘s great.  Am I invested in her well-being? Nope. She’s got this.

Will’s Well-Being

My concern for Will's well-being is not related to his conduct in the relationship. Those events are totally over and done with. 

My concern for Will’s well-being comes from an entirely different event: Shelby’s public sharing and the protracted fallout.

My investment stems from the incineration of his reputation and the mindset of the people who have decided he’s a monster. The all-or-nothing, scorched-Earth treatment by ex-fans and the MCYT community was, and is, abhorrent. The harm to him is ongoing. The harassment continues. The commitment to preventing Will's recovery and smothering any modicum of support is unprecedented.

Will he ever be embraced again, despite his failures and faults, and entrusted with an opportunity to rise above his past?

Bias

My crusade has led me to dive in and learn everything. I am now safely tucked in an echochamber, focusing on the good in him, and immersing myself in his music with like-minded friends.  Does that result in bias--letting preference lead to unfair judgment?

I saw a good person who did some shitty things. I saw a mix of attractive and unattractive personality traits and a big, loving heart. I saw depression. I saw the warping of self-concept caused by being worshipped day and night by strangers.

Is belief in someone bias? There were turning points in my belief in him, things I watched or read that convinced me Shelby was dead wrong when she he wasn’t a good person and wasn’t capable of change.

“British Boy Returns” VOD. He spends an hour just storytelling about his travels. He’s earnest, full of wonder, and grateful for his fans. He’s acutely aware of how precious his opportunity is.  He is genuinely interested in each town he visited. Her claim that all he cares about is fame and money and doesn’t care about his fans is total bullshit. Go watch it again. He is so grateful.

Response to the fan with cancer: He remembered the person specifically. His response to the fan was genuine, personal, and evident that he was truly moved. The message was not a public show for fans but a personal interaction that was shared.

Message on YouTube on “Mammalian Sighing Reflex”: “It gets better...you’ve gotta trust me.” [It guts me that he was wrong about this, that his message was encouraging and hopeful right before losing everything.] Go read the whole message. He pledged to donate proceeds to mental health charities after one year, and then quietly made good on that promise, despite everything that happened in the intervening months.

MSR: Every word of the album. Every heartbreaking word. The whole thing. He acknowledges his failures, he blames himself and takes responsibility, he describes the effect his MH issues have on others, he’s trying to pull himself out. He knows his demons and he’s fighting them. Does it make him a good guy? No. It makes him human. Mental health issues don’t excuse bad behaviour but they can sure as hell explain it.

His ”I’m moving to New York” message, a few weeks before the implosion: Just read it. Go. Again.

Countless moments in his streams. Sorry he can’t meet every person. Trying to keep tickets affordable. Worried he won’t be able to give enough back to repay all of the support his fans have given him. You get the point.

Otto. No man who greets a cat like that is a demon.

These were things all of you knew. He was never perfect and he tried to tell you that in every way that he could. There’s also a mountain of evidence of the good in him. When this happened, the ex-fans claimed they had just found out he wasn’t the person they thought he was. That’s absurd. Of course he is. He’s all of it, the yin and the yang. He’s just human.

How high’s your pedestal? // Maybe he’ll be Jesus this time

Hey anon, I am not biased. I am persuaded by evidence.

[Let's see if I will shut my yap after this one. We're all so fucking sick of it. Haters, if you'll change your hearts I promise to go away.]

leandra posted a story on her art instagram @/leandrart1 yesterday that all her main social media was hacked and everything posted on those accounts isn’t her. and besides tubbo’s literally gay.

I think she only mentioned her main insta being hacked. and yes, I'm aware Tubbo's gay, but we don't know these people personally. I'm taking her claims with a grain of salt like I do with all claims like this, but I think it's important to share in case this is true. this is still an unravelling situation.
