whatever mcr say about bobs death you need to remember they spent a very long time being his closest friends, they toured the world together and no matter how shitty bob became in the last few years, he was still a huge part of their lives and they're allowed to be sad over his passing.

they're going to be focused on the good times and the impact he had on them, any sadness they express is not to be confused with them excusing his actions. gerard ray frank and mikey were very close to him, his death is going to hurt, even if in the end they didn't like him.

we JUST went over this kind of nuanced response to a celebrity death with liam paynes passing, grief does not mean you're excusing any wrongdoing. the people hurt by bobs words and actions are also allowed to feel joy or relief, that doesn't make them bad people.

more than one thing can be true at once. "bob was an incredibly talented drummer and has a huge impact on the lives of many" and "bobs right wing views and hateful words have hurt many" and "bobs mental decline seemingly resulted in a ring wing spiral" and "mental heath does not excuse bigotry" and "those suffering mental health issues deserve compassion and treatment" ARE ALL TRUE AT ONCE.

life and death are full of nuance. don't be a dick.

I think I should get to join a gayass band that I’m obsessed with and roll around on stage and barely play my instrument and look pretty and make out with the any pronouns frontman why does frank iero get to have all the fun

[vampyfrnk]

maybe I'm the friend thats too woke but i dont think we should be making fun of bob's death, yall....

sure, he had some extremely bad qualities about him, but he was still a person? I'm not saying this to defend his negative actions; it is literally common sense to respect people who have died

as much as i might not like bob, his addition to mcr with his talents were unreal. he was a great drummer.

i absolutely do NOT agree with his political views, however. his opinions are simply shitty and idiotic. crazy to me how a grown man could support someone like trump.

im sorry but if youre 'celebrating' or 'laughing' at his death I'm just gonna assume youre a mentally undeveloped immature kid.

im sure that he was struggling mentally, and the pressure from mcr fans on twitter probably made it worse.

im all in for "hahaha funny joke!! look bob, GAY PEOPLE!!" but ive literally seen people telling him to khs.

not cool guys

sometimes i forget how immature and petty the mcr fandom can be.

and once again im not trying to defend bob's actions, im just saying that we should be respectful.

that's what it is

rest in peace bob

Mental illness doesn't excuse someone being an asshole. But assholes STILL deserve mental help. It doesn't matter how much you hate them or how unlikable they are. They are still a person.

[vampyfrnk]

hey uh. i don’t care how shitty of a person bob was. it’s not cool to be making jokes about his death.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

couldn't stop myself from doing lettering for the first time in ages. sometimes the emotion is more important than the technique
