Hey guys, I know I literally have not been here in like a life time, but I just wanna say a few things.
All the recent news that I have found out about Wilbur Soot and Shelby.
First of all, I support Shelby all the way, and while I never watched her or even associated with her, you ALWAYS side with the victim.
Wilbur gave a half ass apology that looked like it was written by a poorly made AI. Not only did he avoid saying Shelby's name, he avoided taking responsibility for his own actions and made the entire situation about him, while also calling the abuse "allegations".
I had some great times watching him, but now even the mere thought of him makes me a bit sick. I can't support or idolize or put abusers on a pedestal, it isn't right and it's horrible. I have since removed ALL of his music, Lovejoy included, off of my playlist. I will not be separating the art from the artist, I will be separating the art from myself. You would think a guy who constantly sings about how bad he is and how he needs to take accountability would actually do so, in all honesty.
Remember. YOU are not allowed to accept his "apology". Only those who were victims of his are. And from what I've seen, they don't. Don't take his side, because that makes you a bad person. Siding with an abuser is never ok. Wilbur is a disgusting human being and I hope he gets more help than what he claims he has, because he oh so clearly needs it. I do not want to be associated with him in any way, shape, or form.
I hope that Shelby is alright, and I fully support her. I hope that you guys do too.
That's all I have, goodbye once again.
