#support abuse victims

[cynthrey]

saying thank you shelby is seriously no overstatement given how many people, many of which were close friends to wilbur, are coming out against him and his abusive behavior towards them

really, thank you shelby, your bravery sure payed off

[the-irreverend]

Support the survivor.

Please.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ABUSE MENTION⚠️

thought i’d come on here and say that if you still support wilbur soot after what he did to shelby, unfollow and stay off my page, i don’t want anyone here who supports an abuser

[arthur-side]

I feel so out of date. What do you mean Wilbur and Shelby used to date? What do you mean Shelby was abused by the person whos known to be Wilbur Soot? What do you mean- I THOUGHT SHELBY WAS ACE???(Or Aroace/aro I dont remember) I'm so confused, shocked, bewildered, I can'-I can't. This is-why. WHY???

[feralduck]

I'm sick. why does this always happen? I honestly feel bad for all involved. I absolutely do NOT support him but I want him to get help. it might just be denial.

People need to not send him hate, but send Shelby love and support. Ignore the creature.

Most of the magazines online these days are owned by Venture Capitalists. That means Wall Street, so it doesn't matter who the majority is that's running it or what they name it. They answer to the boss.

A Hard Leftie Brit.

Glamour UK, owned by Condé Nast and just assume all of their magazines letting us know they support abusers.

This nasty chick. A very vocal Amber Heard supporter AND a friend of Team Z. Notice, she spelled Rihanna's name wrong so she wouldn't get ratio'd, but did anyway. They all did. Someone should go leave some more.

[axolotlclown]

We need to remember that Shubble stated that Wilbur would manipulate and gaslight friends and family. With this, we must be patient with streamers that were close to Wilbur. This was likely surprising and shocking for them. They may need time to come to terms with what has happened.

I have been vocal about how important it is for men to be critical about abusive behaviors. However, Wilbur had many close friends—some would even consider him family—and now they may feel they hardly knew him at all.

There is a deep stress felt by viewers. It is difficult to think we have given any amount of time or money to an abuser. Could you imagine a close friend right now? The pain and betrayal must sear. They need time to understand what has happened and come to terms with it. Many of them may not be live in the coming days (weeks even).

That being said, as time passes, criticism may be necessary. Complacency is not an option. Men that are willing to ignore abuse to protect an abuser are just as pathetic as the abusers themselves.

Let's give this situation time to breathe. I ask that we give patience and courtesy to those close to Wilbur at this time. But please do not forget that this happened. There may be a few streamers hoping to lay low and then drop a collab in a few months. Do not let them. This is too important.

[proudfreakmetarusonniku]

but also like. guys you don’t need to leave the minecraft youtube community bc one person is bad to clarify. like. shelby is a minecraft youtuber. a lot of her friends are minecraft youtubers. those friends are supportive and as far as we know all believe her. the vast majority of minecraft youtubers are like. fine. this shit is something that Happens because Abusers are Manipulative, going to another hobby will Not shield you from anything and you’re not immoral for liking something bad people also liked. which is. one of the biggest video games ever. like in this situation no one was knowingly harbouring an abuser and it seems everyone was supportive. this is just a case of some people being shit, not anything to do with mcyt. hell, the guy hasn’t been on minecraft in like a year lmao.

i fully understand why the content might be uncomfortable to you guys now but like, please don’t self flagellate and cut yourself off from an entire genre of media because of one guy again. i saw that happen after the dream stuff and a lot of people ended up losing important things because they made rash decisions and felt like they Had to leave. but please. take one deep fucking breath. this has happened before. this has happened so much before, and in ways far worse than this. because abusers, unfortunately, exist. you should not feel guilty for being manipulated by a manipulative abuser, don’t blame yourself. do what you have to, but please, please keep in mind that the majority of minecraft youtube is fine. it is fine to continue engaging with it. it’s fine to be manipulated by an abuser and it’s not your fault. please don’t make rash decisions and end up losing things you care deeply about and being unable to get them back. distance yourself all you want, but please be careful to not do so out of emotional self harm from the guilt. that’s something this fandom encourages far too much- even outside of this- and it’s unhealthy and anyone expecting it of you is cruel.

[neuroticboyfriend]

if someone is regularly cruel to you, that's not okay at all. it doesn't matter if they do good things sometimes. they're hurting you, repeatedly. they probably aren't even giving you genuine apologies, right? at best, they just keep trying to justify their actions and wrap it up in pretty language and confident tone, don't they? does that sound like love and care to you? does that sound like anything other than self preservation and an attempt to keep control over you, so they can keep abusing/neglecting you without consequence?

that's not love. that's never been love. you deserve infinitely better, and i hope someday the both of us fully understand what it means to be safe and loved, as a mundane part of life. because that's how it should be. this is not all there is.

[unicorn-onion]

guys, let's not speak for tommy. although i get looking back at "signs," and i also can't help but feel bad for tommy, his story is his, not ours. we can be concerned, and we have every right to be concerned, but being intrusive isn't helping him. what will help him is listening to him when he's ready to speak.

[cynthrey]

Fuck Wilbur Soot

[the-irreverend]

In light of the recent revelations about Alex Kister, I've decided to go scorched earth on all my TMC posts; shitposts, art, theories, and all.

I have no regrets going forward.

Fuck Alex Kister (and all of his apologists).

[ivys-garden]

Alright, I'm going to write my own thoughts down on the situation, sorry if this gets rambly

First of all, Shubble is so brave for speaking up, it's really hard for victims to speak up against there abusers in a public setting and she deserves all the respect in the world for it

That being said we do need to be mindful to give her space, this was a really traumatic thing for her and we all need to be mindful of that, give her room to breath.

On the same lines, don't go after other ccs for not ""releasing statements"", content creators aren't companies, there people. Don't get on at them for not publicly supporting Shubble, especially since there undoubtedly doing it in private, which is probably better than shoving it out there for millions of people to see. Let people support there friend in a way they and shubble are confortable with, if shubble wants them to say something or they think they need to say something themselves, they will say it.

It's like Pearl said, just because you don't see something happening publicly doesn't mean it isn't happening

Also, don't jump to call Tommy or Phil or Grian or anyone else enablers because they haven't said anything, they'll need time to process this too, it's hard to find out that your friend is a domestic abuser, let them process this in piece and don't try to cancel them over nothing like a fool. (People like Tommy will need time especially since Wilbur befriended them when they were young and by all accounts manipulated them too)

If anyone of these people have anything they feel they need to say they'll say it when there good and ready, good life tip folks:Don't Harass People. Especially if they have almost nothing to do with this (honestly Saw someone say they were going to go on to fucking RT about this despite him not knowing either person very well, the fuck)

I know why people do it, they want to make sure there favourite content creators aren't also bad, but they are people and they deserve respect, I can garentee you that almost no Qsmp or Hermitcraft or Other MCYT member who knew him stands with Wilbur

(Also if anyone brings Techno into this fuck right off let the man rest.)

Also, some brain dead morons are saying that people calling out wilbur are doing it for clout and that they should have done it sooner, but most of the abuse happened in private, and wilbur manipulated others, many wouldn't have realised anything was wrong and if they did its still better and more respectful to come forward after shubble since its HER story to tell.

(This attack also doesn't work anymore because we have things like tubbos stream, where he actively discourages his chat from treating him like a hero for speaking out, but yeah sure they all don't give a shit about shubble and just want to make themselves look better, fuck outta here)

Now, if your a former wilbur fan, let me make this super clear

DONT WATCH HIM AND DONT LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC

"BuT SePuRaTe ThE ArT FrOm ThE Arti-

Nah. That doesn't work here. You can separate a book or game or movie, you can't with a cc. Its there face, there voice, there personality. Find a different band, find a different CC to watch. There are other options, I know it sucks to find out someone you like did an awful thing,but that doesn't mean we should support those people for our sakes, especially when people were actively hurt by there actions. Trust me everyone, this will get better, things will go back to how they were before

Finally, this should go without saying, Fuck William Gold to the core of teh fucking earth. And any who still support him.

He is a raging egotistical manipulator and abuser. don't blame people for not seeing it sooner, no one can do that. What we can do though is blame people who still wholeheartedly support him and his actions.

He has not "changed" nor will he ever at the rate at which he's going. He's still a egomaniac who's more concerned with saving his image than actually apologising for his actions, even then an apology wouldn't fix all he's done,it would just be closer and a jumping off point to be better, but he can't even fucking do that.

If wilbur does reflect and grow, good on him, but if he doesn't then I can say with absolute certainty we wouldn't fucking miss him.

Fuck Wilbur. Support Shelbym

[specters]

the obsession with true crime really has rotted people’s brains like this isn’t just a “casual interest” anymore, these people are out here playing armchair psychologist and psychoanalyzing behaviors of abuse victims to see if it fits their idea of what “real victims” act like (as if that can even be measured) because they think their Superior Knowledge of the Minds of Criminals earned by listening to some podcasts makes them an expert. & true crime youtubers like bailey sarian don’t actually give a SHIT about victims of [insert atrocity here], they just care about the content and what entertainment value can come from it. it’s fun to them, rather than horrifying. and that’s really, really scary. this is what your brain on true crime looks like 

[reblogsbutalmostneverposts]

I am not in the MCYT fandom or the DSMP Fandom anymore, I reblog some mcyt stuff occasionally but I just wanted to show my support to Shubble and my utter disgust at Wilbur.

Shubble was a part of my childhood, way before Wilbur was. I would watch her videos practically everyday especially the Undertale series she was part of with Newscapepro. Shubble did not deserve the abuse Wilbur did to her. They did not deserve to be ignored, locked inside the house, made to do everything, reminded of her SA, and abused. She is genuinely so fucking brave for speaking out about this and I applaud them for it. This isn't something easy to talk about to friends or family but the fact that she was able to share it with us and bring light to the situation and the perpetrator speaks for their bravery. I am genuinely so sorry that it happened to her and the fact that I've been supporting someone who's caused so much trauma and hurt for them.

Wilbur's actions were not right nor can it be excused. He is a fucking ABUSER and not even his shitty ass apology can change that. The apology did not do anything towards apologizing for his action but instead cared more about excusing it and demeaning and underplaying the situation. His repeated actions towards them when she has repeatedly asked him to stop, using their safe word to harm them, and pinning them down when he knows that she has a history with SA is unforgivable and inexcusable and I actually cannot fucking believe that he managed to get away with this type of behavior for so long. Words can't even describe how fucking utterly disgusted I am of him.

That being said, if you support Wilbur please get the fuck out of my blog and block me for good measure too, I do not wish to see anyone excusing his actions and continuing to support him when he has done nothing but harm and manipulate women especially when women are the main audience of his. Before you claim that you can't stop supporting him because of a hyperfixation, that is not an excuse. Wilbur has been part of my hyperfixation and helped me go through a rather rough patch in my life alongside his music but this is not an excuse for me to continue supporting him. Please support Shubble and the other victims he has harmed, abused, and manipulated and do not let their stories go unheard.

I've seen people criticizing other CCs such as Tommy and Phil for not speaking out and releasing a statement about the situation and I just beg for you all to wait as this is a hard process to find out that one of your best friends is an abuser and I remind you that not everything should be publicized, people especially CCs have their own private lives too and are allowed to settle things privately.

We should not draw attention away from the victims and instead continue boosting their stories and supporting them, this is the best course of action to take in this situation. I stand by Shubble and Wilbur's other victims and you should too.

Eros the god of Love.

Sly Eros is just as much of a warrior as his lover Hemera, albeit a more subtle one. He patrons the less overt kind of wars: the plotting, the scheming, and the revenge. The violence of the weak on the strong.

The wasp god is associated with love, deception, diplomacy, and more broadly, with anything related to feelings and interpersonal relationships. He acts as a counterpart to Hemera, his complimentary partner. He is the poison and the antidote, the knife and the heart into which it is plunged. People pray to him when they require strength and guidance in love, family matters, or revenge.
