Rob Situation Rant:

I’ve seen a lot of people defending rob because “well he came forward and apologized that’s good enough for me” and please let me explain from a business/adult perspective. 

1: Taking Away The Victim’s Decision. The victim never posted anything or made anything public. The victim never got to tell their story. Rob took away that power from them by making it public AND tagging their personal instagram account. Which by the way Rob has over 77k Instagram followers the last time I checked and that’s a very large platform. Also we don’t know if the victim was planning on coming forward and posting this outed them to a large fanbase. 

2: The Timing: Every is well aware that right now every starkid instagram is being watched like a hawk. Everyone is excited about the new clues that have been going out every day for the past couple of days. Also Rob posted this in the middle of the night. Why? Why post it now? Did the harassment happen yesterday? We don’t know anything about the situation (and we probably shouldn’t) so it just feels really weird that he would post this at this exact time when the fandom is so busy with other things. 

3: The Phrasing: The way Rob phrased the post was that he was doing something good by (for lack of a better term) “holding himself accountable” by posting this. However no one ever said any of this publicly. He had nothing to address publicly. He made it public. He made that person’s trauma public to a fanbase that let’s be honest, has a lot of kids in it who may not understand the full severity of these actions. As I have seen, many fans are defending the actions thinking he did the right thing by admitting to it. I want you guys to understand that just because someone admits to something doesn’t mean the thing they did didn’t cause lasting damage. 

4: He Has Put His Coworkers In A Bad Position: Due to the timing and the fact that he is a very large part of the Hatchetfield series, Rob has unfairly put his friends (and roommates) in a very difficult place. They now have to decide to either continue working with Rob who admitted to harassing a band member (who I assume they currently work with) and have them working together disregarding any discomfort that person may feel. Or they would have to fire Rob and recast when Nightmare Time is currently being announced and is most likely set to start within the new few weeks. This also affects the business because if they keep Rob some people may not purchase Nightmare Time tickets which is their only production during the year so far that could give them any extra income that actors desperately need during the pandemic. 

Conclusion: 

Overall I think this is a giant mess. To clarify, I am not asking that other actors or members address it immediately. As I said before, Rob has unfairly put his friends and coworkers in a very tough position they didn’t ask to be put in. Personally, this on top of the other shit robert has done has ruined one of my special interest. I really liked Hidgens and was looking forward to the Working Boys film and seeing more of him in Nightmare Time as well as really looking forward to seeing the long awaited reveal of Hot Chocolate Boy. However, it is incredibly disrespectful and invalidating to the victim and all victims of harassments and sexual abuse to continue to support someone who did all of this. 

I’m sure I missed some points because I just woke up and haven’t had coffee yet. If you took the time to read this thank you. I hope that you can see what I’m trying to explain. I posted on reddit and was met with many people accepting his “apology” and moving on. This isn’t a slip up. It’s not an accident. Continuing to pursue someone sexually who has made it clear they are not interested is WRONG

It’s been a week since the incident

It’s been a week since the rob instagram story.... guess we’ll keep waiting for people to acknowledge it happened 

[samsclubhotdog]

cool tgwdlm concept:

everything is exactly the same except professor hidgens has a funky hat. maybe one of those ones with the spinny thing on top.

Just saying if Robert Manion does become one of the main leads in a future Starkid show you guys better not forget about all the other actors in that show, they would’ve worked just as hard and deserve as much love as you guys give to Robert

[werejustlefttodecay]

It's severely worrying how much I absolutely love, adore and completely obsess over TGWDLM. I'm getting stressed...

This is my take on Lex, Ethan and Hannah baking cookies.

Lex: Ok how long do we put them in for?

Hannah: The box says 350°c for 20 minutes.

Lex: Ok that’s easy enough.

Ethan: What if... ok hear me out here...

Hannah: I’m ready for this!

Ethan: What if we put them in at 700°c for 10 minutes!

Hannah: LEX HE’S A GENIUS!

Lex: *leaves the room* ITS UP TO YOU TWO NOW!

Hannah: Now how high does it have to be for instant cookies?

Ethan: uh... LEX?!
