Surprising* how fs Twitter is completely on board with Jun doing a Michael Jackson SP when they wouldn’t shut up about Shoma doing an MJ Exhibition piece.
#*not surprising at all#it's the usual case of who fs twitter love and who they don't#and since Jun never own over Yuzu and never had a realistic chance to overtake him he was always liked#for the record I don't want to see any MJ programs#but it goes to show just how most of the takes on fs twitter come from hypocrisy and playing faves and not actual care for causes

Generally, I agree with you. However.
Georgia would have known about the announcement being made on Sunday. She obviously also would've known where David was. Apparently, she even double checked with him.
So I don't think that she was lying when she said that the OP couldn't have seen David. Especially now that she's continued to insist that he wasn't there at the time OP claimed to have seen him.
I mean, it doesn't make sense for Georgia to lie about that, she'd have literally no reason. Not even trying to keep up an alibi would make sense, given the facts that a) we got the announcement 24 hours later anyway and b) she now didn't step back and said that she was trying to keep the secret safe (knowing the fandom, they would've praised her for it anyway and she easily would've found a way to turn the situation funny or whatever).
I honestly don't give two fs about Georgia, but I really feel like she's not the one lying here. She could and should have handled the situation with much more grace, you're so right about that. Or she could have just ignored the tweer, but she never seems to be willng to do that. If OP really wasn't telling the truth, for whatever reason, ane that's what it looks like to me, I even kind or understand her impulse. Hm. But yeah, I don't think she's lying when she says that David wasn't seen.
(I do care about the WHO fandom a lot and I do not want to believe that the woman who made the original tweet received death threats. I mean, Jesus. I don't get it. Mean and mocking comments, yes, sadly, but death threats over something like this? I don't know. But whatever happened, it's the people who send messages that are responsible for these messages and they alone, not anyone else and no one else is to blame, I think. Just as a sidenote. If she's telling the truth about the extent of negative attention her claim has received thanks to Georgia that's disgusting and I'm ashamed for other fans).
Yeah, I guess what I'm trying to say here, very badly, is that Georgia doesn't seem to be lying, which would also explain why she's still reacting to the matter. That doesn't seem to be a perspective you've given a chance.
I honestly think that the fan just got lucky with her timing and wanted to add something to the countless rumours on Twitter, these tweets always get a lot of attention from excited fellow fans after all. And unfortunately for her Georgia saw the tweet too and possibly got annoyed because she identified it as not true. She could've just let it go, of course. Maybe that would've been the wise decision. But again, if it was indeed a lie concering David, which still seems to be the case, I low key get why she didn't and got salty.
This isn't to blindly defend her, but just to... provide another perspective, which I believe to be true. Just wanted to add it to your discourse I suppose.
Hi, Anon! Well, first let me thank you for this lengthy missive, and also to say that other perspectives are always welcome on my blog, and I appreciate you adding to the discourse.
So, I hear what you are saying in regard to Georgia and the incident that took place last week. I think that if we were talking about just that one woman who said she saw David, your argument could be very plausible. The problem I have, however, is that it wasn’t just that woman: Multiple people said they saw David in Cardiff.
You said that you don’t think Georgia was lying or would have had a reason to lie, but I would contend the same thing for the people who say they saw him. What reason would multiple people/fans have for lying about seeing David in the same place, at the same time? Not to mention that when I’ve seen fans make up stories about encountering celebrities in the past, it’s usually something far more elaborate (for example, ”I met David today and we looked into each other’s eyes and he said ‘Georgia Shmorgia’ and we fell in love instantly”) instead of something as mundane as simply seeing David on the street.
Looking at the screenshot above, we can see that the other folks who did see him had tweeted about it and then deleted their tweets after seeing what happened to Christine. And while yes, those fans are absolutely responsible for the disgusting and inappropriate things they said, Christine would most likely have never become the target that she did had Georgia not deliberately drawn attention to her tweet in the first place. So given all of this, it seems more and more likely that Georgia was covering for David, got caught out/made to look bad, and then doubled down because she was annoyed/embarrassed about it.
Now, in terms of what exactly Georgia could have been covering up for David...you do have to wonder. Because as you said, Anon, there had been countless rumors about David taking part in the DW 60th anniversary special prior to last week’s announcement, so it was hardly a big secret, and why would need an alibi for that? There’s also the fact that (according to those who saw him in Cardiff), David declined to take a picture with fans. David, whom we know from one particularly infamous anecdote, will sign autographs anywhere, and recently took a selfie with a fan when he was at Disneyland for his birthday despite being there with his kids.
But something that others have mentioned to me--and I fully acknowledge that this is pure tinhattery and speculation--is what if there’s a chance that David was meeting up with Michael in Cardiff? Sure, he could’ve been there to take those DW promo photos with Catherine Tate, too, but again, that wouldn’t be something to cover up. But Michael slipping away a week before AL had baby #2 for a secret rendezvous with his boyfriend? That would be pretty cover up-able. So perhaps Georgia wasn’t even covering for David, but covering for Michael at David’s request, and threw that fan under the bus to do so. And again, this is not because of one particular “big” thing, but all these “little” things that slowly add up to something much larger.
Again, as I said, all of that ^ is total tinhattery and speculation, which I have put forward just to give some sort of explanation as to why Georgia is still reacting to this and continuing to push a particular narrative, despite multiple fans saying they saw David in Cardiff.
In any case, I think we do agree that we’ll probably never know for sure what happened, and that all Georgia really did was make a messy situation even messier because of the way she handled it...
#anonymous#reply post#georgia tennant#david tennant#soft scottish hipster gigolo#doctor who#twitter is the actual worst#it's a symbiotic problem where the fans feed off of Georgia and Georgia feeds off the fans#and it ends up being a bad thing for everyone#and this was just handled so poorly in so many ways#anyway there's your conspiracy theory for the day kids#fandom woes#discourse
