#lovejoy cancelled

[sundaynightlive]

I rescind any prior posts where I have endorsed lovejoy lol—motherfucker is BITING people???? girl what.

[honeynclove]

imo there’s really no way to separate the Minecraft roleplay characters from their creator bc they’re so intertwined ?? like idk i was reading up on the Wilbur situation and like… still deciding to write/draw for the ‘character’ is still supporting Wilbur 😭😭😭

[neonbeloved]

The evolution of q!wilbur and tallulah will always be my favourite :( they’re so cute. they have such a meaningful relationship and benefit each other. I love them so bad :(

Late night ramble about cancelled creators

Oh my god am I so fed up each time someone gets "cancelled" aka exposed as a groomer/creep online. Not because of the discourse, I think the call outs are necessary and should absolutely happen.

I'm fed up because every SINGLE TIME there's someone exposed nowadays, there's always swarms of brainwashed and obsessive fans that will literally reaffirm themselves of anything to "disprove" allegations.

I think it's absolutely mental William Gold still has a fanbase. Lovejoy was an audience of notoriously progressive fans who would champion social justice and call out bad apples. Hell, Lovejoy fans piled on Ash Kabosu each time he made some stupid tweet which needed calling out. Lovejoy fans were willing to call out their own bassist each time he screwed up, where's that same attitude when MULTIPLE WOMEN come forward regarding sexual/physical abuse?

Don't get me wrong, Wilbur Soot and Lovejoy aren't the same thing. I just feel like so many people who were once so vocal for social change and progressive values online were only doing it because they had no attachment to the person they were calling out. But why do SO MANY fans try and excuse obviously guilty people?

The mental gymnastics that some people come out with is insane. I've made fun of disgraced creators in the past, and some pretentious Stan comes along in my replies and says, "um, actually, they made a response, so you should read that before having this opinion".

To any Stan whose only rebuttal to their creator being a horrible person is "see their response"...

That response sucked balls. Big ones.

There's so much gaslighting in these creators' responses to the point where there's almost always someone screenshotting and annotating the gaslighting sentences. It's also almost always the top reply. Hell, I'm looking into an example for a video, it's horrific.

My guess is that the most hardcore stans don't want to have to admit that 1-4 (or more) years of their life was spent supporting a straight up horrible person. These people don't want to admit that these creators who they look up to are horrible people, so they accept literally any response at face value. These people find any response at all "appropriate" and "well presented", even if the actual content is full of gaslighting, manipulation of information or straight up deflection.

So, I guess my point is, when your favourite YouTuber gets cancelled or outed as a creep, actually read what both the accusers and creators have to say. Seriously think for a while about what both sides are trying to tell you. How are they telling you this? Would you come to the same conclusion?

Oh, and one more thing.

Support all victims coming forward.

The fact this has to be reiterated is insane. Some people are so quick to say this, but blindly follow the word of a creator who has, for all intents and purposes, been exposed as a creep and/or a horrible person.

I'm so glad u brought up Melanie bcuz the apologies (if u can even call them that) are SO similar. "Hey guys. I did it. In my defense, I didn't mean to be an abuser so it's fine!"

these situations have been brought up so many times i don’t think he’s making a public appearance until everyone forgets everything

[ghostbonetv]

If I had a nickel for every time I was going to see one of my favourite bands, but they had to cancel first, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but oh my god it happened again I've only ever tried to see two bands I am fucking cursed

[megastrangeskeleton]

Lovejoy have officially posted a statement regarding the cancellation of their upcoming shows via email due to “Wilbur’s mental health”. They also posted a statement along the same lines on their Instagram story but changed it to “personal reasons”.

I’m sorry??? Personal reasons??? We all know what this is about, their whining little bitch boy of a lead singer has been found to be a serial domestic abuser, so why are they trying to downplay it on their Instagram story? Why the change in language?

Their silence is damming.

Support Shelby.

Support Alice.

Support victims.

Fuck Ash Kabosu.

Fuck Mark Boardman.

Fuck Joe Goldsmith.

But most importantly,

My quick two cents on the William Spencer Patrick Gold (Wilbur Soot) situation

He’s a jerk, his apology was genuine trash. My heart goes out to everyone that man hurt.

For some people (Tubbo, Tommy, and Niki, from what I know), their relationship with him has always been iffy, as they met him when they were still minors and he was an adult. There is a very obvious power imbalance that comes with those types of age gaps, as well as the fact that they would be afraid of getting canceled considering he was bigger. As well as the fact that they probably got desensitized to stuff he would do, to them or to others.

I’m sorry to those that saw him as a comfort streamer or artist, to those that only watched him or those that supported him because he got them out of really hard times. I cannot tell you to move on just like that, but please try your best to distance yourself; to find other interests, streamers, or music artists.

Something I’ve seen people talk about is that his characters (qsmp Wilbur, dsmp Wilbur, Ghostbur, Revivebur, etc) are no longer his. William is not his characters, nor does he have control over them anymore. I think it’s understandable to have people use the characters, as long as they are not used to defend William in any way. People are attached to them, many have implemented headcanons and stuff beforehand, anyways. I feel this can also go towards Lovejoy; don’t hate the other members, they’re nice as far as I/we know; don’t directly listen to or support his music, there are covers you can listen to.You can’t really separate artist from art in this situation, considering some of the lyrics in this man’s songs.

And remember. You did not know him. His apology is not yours to accept. Do not pressure those that know him for their responses. Be respectful. Support the abused, not the abuser.

Please support Shelby and everyone that’s come out about their personal experiences. What that man did was abusive and manipulative, I hate that anyone had to go through stuff with him.

Wilbur and reader breaking up because of their schedules headcanons? (Wilbur going on tour and reader being busy etc)

Wilbur And His Partner Breaking Up

Wilbur Soot x Gender Neutral Reader

Warnings: Angst. Sad. You may cry.

Hi again ✨ anon! I had a very rough day and have never written angst before. This combination will be fantastic /s

Headcannons below cut!

~Wilbur would be swamped with work, both from Sorry Boys and Lovejoy.

~You’d be super busy with family things and your job.

~”Hey baby, you free for dinner this weekend?”

~”So sorry, I work all weekend :( you free the next weekend?”

~”I’m going to the US for tour, remember? It’ll have to be before next Wednesday.”

~In the end, you both reluctantly cancel plans to meet up for a brief dinner.

~”Sweetheart, I hate to say this… but… how is a relationship supposed to work if we never see each other?”

~You’d be dead silent, pensively stirring your drink.

~”We can make it work, right?” You’d say, faking optimism.

~Now it’s Wilbur’s turn to fall silent.

~”I want to, I promise,” he said, hesitantly placing a hand on yours. “But…”

~You can feel your heart drop in your chest, waiting for him to finish the sentence,

~”…I know it’s the best thing for us both to stop trying to make this work.”

~The silence in the air weights heavily on you as you mull over the words.

~”I know you’re right, but I don’t want to believe it,” you’d reply.

~Wilbur gives you a sad smile. “I don’t want to believe it either.”

~He pays the tab, helping you into your jacket, and when you walk out, you realize once you walk away, it’s over.

~”Good luck,” you say, swallowing back the lump in your throat. “With your music. You deserve it.”

~For a second, he looks like he’s about to cry, fixing a fake smile on his face.

~”Thank you,” he murmurs, giving you a quick, awkward hug. “I guess this is goodbye?”

~You barely manage to say goodbye and get in your car before breaking down.
