Hello all,
I took last week off to figure out how I was going to approach the Brennen Taylor situation. I'm appalled by what I've learned. I've never supported him really, outside of the occasional videos he was in with Sam and Colby, but I've written him in fanfics. As someone who has connections with sexual harassment, I'm no longer going to support him through the videos he posts or appears him nor will I write about him in my fanfics.
For these reasons, my plans to write the upcoming drabbles had included Brennen have all been rewritten. I had planned for Brennen and Luna to be one of the surprised couples, as many of you seemed to like that idea, but I've changed it up. You will have to wait and see for who I have in mind now :)
For the chapters that have been written already with Brennen, they will be left as is. It would take too much work to redo those chapters to not include Brennen in them. I'm dropping him as a character in this fic. He will no longer appear.
If you are a supporter of Brennen, please try to understand the people who came forward to say the allegations. Please believe the victims first. I'm not saying to outright cancel Brennen, but please just think about your support for him. Yes, there is the chance that the allegations are false (though there is obviously a lot of allegations that seem too real and state proof of it), but the fact that Brennen still has not come forward to say anything has led me to believe they are true. If I was in his position and they were false, I would have come out to say so straight away. His ignorance of it, of the victims, and of other victims, is disrespectful.
There is just so much more for me to say, but I'm not using this to rant about it. These are my opinions, but I wanted to take the time to figure out how I was going to handle this situation.
Thank you all for the support!
Look out for the next drabble (Jake and Tara) this Wednesday!
