this is a rant more for myself than anything so ignore this if you want, idc, this is me blabbing but i wish the outsiders show itself would say something about how horrible some of the fans act. like most of these fans frequent the show and have seen the show nearly every weekend, or maybe even more than that. the actors know who some of these âfansâ are, and are clearly uncomfortable (i donât think itâs a coincidence when half the cast will come out in the pouring, freezing rain on any other day, but you have some of these groups come in and suddenly nobody comes outâidk thatâs just what iâve heard thru the grapevine though, i seriously donât keep track of who stage doors when so i may be wrong) but for i donât think yâall would lose any fans for telling people to be normal to your employees, and even if you did, there are literally thousands of other fans, and iâd say good riddance anyway.
idk, the way the show lets their cast get treated bugs me. like you have fans following jason home/to his train, people trying to give josh and brent homemade food and then getting offended when they say no to the point they send drunken voicemails over instagram to the point one of them ACTUALLY APOLOGIZES to them, people mobbing brody and forcing themselves down his throat to the point heâs having a panic attack and said mobbing gets to the point that security from another show has to intervene, people giving melody pictures of her in a bikini to sign, people saying that the actors are asking to be sexualized because âtheyâre fit and wear tight costumesâ, and probably SO much more and it still wonât be addressed? thatâs just so sad to have this be the way aspiring new actors are being introduced to life on broadway.
and i know it can be argued that âoh, alaska, they cant do anything about what people say online!â but they can start by addressing the problem at hand. the way the show allows their employees to be treated at large is just beyond me. i wish theyâd start banning people, or maybe even say something themselves instead of leaving it to melody to have to keep addressing this shit because gods bless her, i would NEVER be able to keep doing this if i was in her shoes. idk why theyâre leaving it up to the cast to say âmaybe being disgusting pigs isnât a good ideaâ. because again, yâall ainât gonna lose any fans by telling people to be normal and by starting to take action against some of these people. in fact, to me, youâd earn more support by doing so, and for the people who stop supporting it, there are thousands upon thousands of people still willing to support the show.
idk. again, this is a rant for me and me personally, agree or disagree, idc, i just didnât wanna rant in the tags of my last post. i feel like i needed to make an actual post.
