And just when I think cancel culture can't get any worse, it did.

So, for those who don't know, the drummer for My Chemical Romance, Bob Bryar, has passed away this november from suicide via overdose, and while I will admit that I don't know much about Bob, nor do I usually care that much about celebrity shit, I do wanna say that I am genuinely sorry for the loss, and I hope that his loved ones are able to take the time to grieve and process all of this.

But that's not what I'm making this post about.

So, i'm scrolling on tiktok out of boredom, and I see a post talking about his death. I go into the comments to share my condolences, since we are literally talking about someone's death.

You wanna know what the comments were filled to the BRIM with??

people celebrating his death and making jokes about it.

Apparently the reason why was because dude was a "racist, homo/transphobic, wife beater" and just a bunch of other shit (according to the comments).

Listen idgaf what he did, if you're SO desperate to bring up someone's controversies after they're dead, at least WAIT until people have mourned to do so.

Regardless of what happened in the person's life, death is a VERY serious topic, and Bob had loved ones and fans who are probably struggling with the grief this lost caused.

This actually reminds me of the whole Technoblade situation. Techno passed away of cancer, but because he made like one or two racist jokes in his life, that meant it was okay for people who hated techno to be insensitive assholes about it.

My sister was literally CRYING at like 4 in the morning over techno's death, because he was one of my sister's comfort youtubers. And i was comforting her the whole time too (despite me struggling with comforting people) because she was UPSET about it all. And even now, she still gets sad at the thought of techno's death.

I'm sure there's someone out there experiencing that same pain because of Bob Bryar's death, and seeing these wokeys just use some shit that Bob allegedly did when he was alive as a way of justifying being insensitive as shit about the whole thing, honestly pisses me off.

And this behavior isn't coming from just on tiktok either, saw similar behavior on reddit as well while I was doing my research on this whole thing(though most of the wokey comments were deleted luckily).

This is the problem with cancel culture: one of SEVERAL actually. It doesn't matter if they're dead or not, one they get a hold of information regarding a controversy, they will REFUSE to let it go, even for like two minutes just to let someone close to the person grieve. ANd they'll give you shit for feeling as about the person too, which is fucking ridiculous.

And the fucked up part?

While i was doing my research, I haven't been able to find a single piece of solid evidence backing up any of the claims being used against Bob, nor did i even know about the controversies until people were bringing it up after his death, which proves to me that either they're lying about most of it, or they turned a blind eye to all of it and waited till he died to bring it up, which by the way, is extremely hypocritical considering these are the same people who advocate for "accountability" for the actions that bob allegedly did.

And what's even worse is that I found out that people on twitter were telling him to kill himself before he died, OVER THE CONTROVERSIES??? WTF.....

I genuinely can't fucking type anymore cause the anger this is giving me is making me shake like hell (normal physical response to stress for me), but there's so much more I wanna say.

I will turn off the comments if I have to, but if you're one of those people who are celebrating his death or aren't showing the slightest bit of sympathy over the controversies, block me. idc what your political beliefs are, this kind of behavior in ANY situation revolving around someone's death is unacceptable, and shit like this just brings down the movements you're claiming to support.

Everyone's all "mental health matters!!!" until someone's mental illness causes them to be "bigoted" ig...

Snoke's Misinterpretation

A spell to keep people from seeing your true intentions

What you need

A basil leaf- for protecting you and your secret

A piece of obsidian- for keeping your secret

A small piece of black cloth and string- to hold the ingredients

A small piece of paper and a pen

A black candle

A stick of frankincense incense- to instill a false vision to those you wish to keep the secret from

What to do

Prepare yourself as necessary. Ground, meditate, center. prepare your work space as necessary. Call on the elements, cast a circle, call to a deity, build the magic required for the spell.

Envision what it is you wish to keep secret, keep it in your mind. Write on the paper a way you wish others to see your intentions. Something similar, though easily confused for your actual intentions.

Light the candle and incense, keeping this false vision at the forefront of your mind. Instill the words written on the paper with that vision., waft it through the incense smoke.

Pick up the piece of obsidian and whisper your true intentions to it. Whatever it is that must be kept secret, instill this within the stone.

Wrap the basil leaf around the stone, then wrap the paper around the leaf.

Place this inside the cloth and tie it shut. Once more waft the sachet through the incense, again focusing on the false vision.

Allow the candle and incense to burn out, and keep the sachet on your person as long as you must keep your secret.

Recharge it in incense with a black candle whenever you need to. Tweaking or reaffirming the false vision to hide your secret.

Best of luck and happy casting witches!

They brought up cancel culture lol

Nooo. I can't. There is no such thing as cancel cultutre for celebrities, especially privileged ones. Why can't we hold someone accountable for something that they did without the victim defense?

If you face consequences for harmful/bad/wrong actions, you are not cancelled. That is a form of accountability.

Ther eis no erasure. In reality, public people aren't forever "canceled". They are criticized and they lose followers. Which their teams solve at some point

I was talkjng to one of my UNI friends a few weeks ago and she told me something very itneresting: that many people online that beoieve in "cancel culture" (aka that their favs are canceled) confuse freedom of speech with freedom from public response/calling out people/accountability.

I did not see this protection or the "she is learning" excuse when Ale was the main subject. Interesting... right?

Emotional Support Britta

I recently started binge-watching The Nanny. Its on my list of cultutrally important sitcoms, and so far I really like it. But I really love not understanding things that are clearly references. When a character says a name that ive never heard in my life but the entire crowd starts cheering... That feels like drugs. I don't know If I can explain why.

I've only started to experience that very recently. I fell asleep to a livestream marathon on amazon of Cheers. Fading in and out of conciousness to the sound of canned laughter and fuzzy audio made me feel something I havent felt since 2009.

Like many others, I have an unholy obsession with Community. I literally got a Peacock subscription after Netflix AND Hulu removed it from their platforms. I debated buying it on a few different platforms but ultimatley went with Peacock because my mom loves Below Deck and my sense of worth is based in what I can do for others. I finally caved because I was having a mental breakdown and needed my emotional support Britta.

Which brings us right back around to The Nanny, which was recommended to me via Peacock. I've just inadvertently pulled an all nighter working on a copy and watching the entire first season.

Reader, I'm so very tired and my eyes have been an inch from my phone screen for over 24 hours. The voices in my head are starting to sound like Fran Drescher. I'm going to bed.
