#dead or criminals ykwim? watcher isnt that tho

[wowitscoldout]

Ok one last watcher post before I move on with my life. This is a big ol rant ok I talk about a lot.

Tldr I'm conflicted and sad but I believe they can come back from this

-

Steven Lim, what a guy yk? I like dish granted. I appreciate Steven Lim for running the company, like. In, I think, a Making Watcher it's said that Ryan and Shane get to dick around on camera because Steven runs the business end of things so im not mad at Steven any more rhan im mad at the others.

I'm mad at y'all. Cause I've seen some vile things said about Steven, like how u wish Ryan and Shane would dump him or how he's ruining everything and how he's completely unwanted and nobody likes him. Which is wrong, u shouldn't bully this guy because he made a bad business decision, try and be mature. Ik some of y'all are like 15 and you're feeling betrayed and abandoned, which is what u should be feeling btw, but that's not an excuse for this behavior.

People are mad at Steven because the shows he's a part of are financially fucking insane. It's an icky thing to watch someone eat fine things and travel no biggie while the rest of us struggle. That's what we're mad at Steven for. Well that's what I'm mad at Steven for. Because the shows he does are elitist and.....just. it feels bad.

This whole thing feels bad and I don't know what to do.

I'm very conflicted. I keep changing my views and not knowing how to feel and not knowing what to think or what to do and the stability that Watcher provides me is gone. So I gotta uh. Find something else. I have a really hard time coping with change and this is a really big change. These guys have been around since before i was diagnosed, and then I watched them through that, and I'm watching them now and I don't know what to do.

This whole thing is scary because everyone's up in arms about it, either trying to remind others that the watcher crew are still people and not monsters or lamenting the loss and potential fiery downfall of one of the greatest things of the internet. So it's real chaotic ykwim? This is just added chaos to our lives and having something that was such a crutch for us all to lean on be taken away so suddenly is frightening.

This is like the ugliest sides of the fandom all coming together at once which is bad for people in the middle lol

Anyway uh I think I'm done. I hope the watcher guys are ok but I also hope they realize that this was not the right move and do something about it. They aren't bad people in my book, I mean. Maybe they are but I can't lose them yet. I'm like 0 for 4 on YouTubers rn so uh. I can't let these guys go, I'm attached to these internet men and I like them a lot even though they're being stupid rn.

This is redeemable. They can come back from this.
