I Think The Reason Why We Like Eddie So Much, Why His Death Affected Us So Much, Even Though It Was Rather

i think the reason why we like eddie so much, why his death affected us so much, even though it was rather predictable with such shity writers, is because a lot of us see us in him. this dorky, nerdy, affectionate goofball that can`t seem to be still for a minute, who looks  for some people quite intimidating, but actually he is a big softy, who adopts people under hiw wing so they won`t feel excluded. he is misunderstood by many. he spends his days either perfecting the route for the game or learning new tunes - what a menace to society! well, and selling some stuff between all it...  he is the character with whom you sympathise, whom you want to succeed in the end. he is just so warm and familiar that such way of dealing with his character is such a slap in our faces.   eddie, my love, you will always be famous

I swear from this time on after eddie kaspbrak and eddie munson I WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER QUEER CODED LIL GUY IN A HORROR SETTING IN THE 80TH NAMED EDDIE IN MY FAVS E V E R I`M DONE WITH EDDIES I`m done being heartbroken and treated like that and they both should have been AT LEAST pulled out of this pit 

you know, i  would be fine if Eddie didn't show up in season 5. BUT only if he could finally finish school in season 4, his name is cleared and he left Hawkins with his boyfriend  to become a cool musician. and then their 6 little nuggets would come to visit them. 

Percy

I want to address the allegations and scandal that has engulfed Percy Hynes White. As a survivor of SA, I take all allegations seriously and give all accusers the benefit of the doubt. When I was first made aware of these allegations my heart dropped into my stomach, and I felt the first stirrings of panic rise. My own experiences make me specially sensitive when these things occur. You could say I’m triggered. I logged off for my own mental and emotionally well being. Once I calmed down, I logged back on and went to read the allegations. I didn’t want to believe that Percy was capable of such a thing, but as someone who believes victims first, I was open to the possibility that this kid I thought was charming, funny and sweet was an illusion and the reality was that a monster lurked beneath the surface. However, as I began to read through the tweets and “evidence” against this man, something didn’t add up.

That’s when the anger kicked in. Do you know how insulting it is, as a survivor of rape, when girls make false allegations? Do you know the damage that it does to legitimate victims? The likely hood that they will receive justice falls even lower than it already was. It is a further violation committed against us. And there is no justification.

So over the last few days we have learned that Percy himself committed no crimes - he did not SA anyone. We’ve learned that at worst, while a teen, he was cavalier with a girl’s feelings. Not kind, but if we are to believe this is true, he also apologised when older and wiser. We have learned that when he learnt that a friend of his was capable of such horror, he ended the friendship and he was kind and compassionate to the victim.

When all that came to light, his accusers tried another avenue to smear him - they called him a racist. Their evidence? A video of a very young Percy quoting a tv show. The line happened to contain a slur. Stupid, but I think forgivable considering his age at the time. But that’s not all, according to the girls, they also offered instagram likes as proof. Problem is, the post they referenced, was not what they claimed. And don’t even get me started on his supposed twitter likes. He doesn’t even have a twitter account.

Then they tried another route - kink shaming. Again, they posted unverifiable “proof” that he liked some kinky stuff. Ok, that’s not a crime first of all. And second, fantasies and exploration of your sexuality is normal. There is nothing wrong with that except the fact that these girls violated Percy’s privacy by telling everyone.

Were they done? No. Not even. They released naked and risqué pictures of Percy that they claim he sent to them as proof of bad acts. We have a few problems with that. 1) they offer no proof that he sent them to them, just the pictures themselves, which begs the question “how did they really get them?”. 2) revenge porn is a crime, but sending the pics to them in and of itself is not. Especially if they had a sexual relationship with him at the time. 3) this is the really disgusting part. Percy appears to have been 13 years old when some of those pictures were taken. That classifies as child p*rnography and most certainly is a crime. A vile, horrific crime.

Throughout all of this, all anyone has proven is that one girl was possibly assaulted by someone that Percy knew. He reacted with shock but kindness when he found out. As to be expected. But most of all, we learned that Percy is the victim here. And we learned that there are many among us that are more vile than I ever feared.

He’s a victim of vindictive little girls who held on to images they never should have had to justify false allegations in an attempt to ruin his life because he didn’t reciprocate their affections.

This is fucking sick. It makes me sick, it pisses me off and makes my heart break for every true victim of SA, for Percy, and for his real friends and loved ones.

I hope that the people responsible face the consequences of their actions. And I finish with one final point. There is no justification in this world for spreading child p*rnography. None. There is no justification for falsely accusing an innocent person of vile crimes. None. Those involved should be ashamed of themselves.

I hope and pray that Percy is being taken care of, that he’s ok and that he is able to return to some semblance of normalcy when it all dies down and the air clears. The reality is he’ll be irrevocably changed by this. I just hope it doesn’t change him too much. I hope he emerges from this still kind, goofy and adorably weird. Take care, Percy and know that we are on your side.

10 Facts you NEED to know about the #CancelPercy allegations.

So, OBVIOUS trigger warning since this is a really sensitive topic, we’re talking about rape and sa allegations. Since the accusations against Percy came out, people have been calling for Percy to be jailed and even killed. Those reactions are somewhat understandable, as rape and SA are highly emotionally charged topics, and when you get highly emotional, logic and reason tend to fly out the window. There’s also the fact that people don’t want to ever risk not believing a victim. However, it’s been a few days and information has come out about both the accusations and the accusers. I think we really need to stop and just THINK logically about certain things.

Here are some important facts that I feel are being ignored by the Wednesday fandom:

1. None of the 3 main girls running the #CancelPercy hashtag (Aries, Kay, and Desiree) have actually accused Percy of raping them. This is important to remember because people are saying that these girls are speaking up against their rapist and saying “Percy is a rapist.” But that’s not what they accused him of. The 3 main girls running #cancelpercy hashtag have accused him of sexually harassment, groping, being mean to them, and of guilt-by-association for having been friends with an abuser.

UPDATE: Kay as now come out and said that she is NOT a victim, but she has friends who are.

One of the girls, Desiree, accuses Percy of “LETTING” her get raped. I’m really not sure how “letting” someone get raped is a legitimate charge against him, unless he was just standing right there when it happened. But onto the next point:

2. Aries actually contradicted herself on what she says Percy did to her. In LESS than 24 hours it had changed from “he groped/assaulted me” to “he said VIAL (vile) things to me” and it was just her FRIENDS he did physical stuff to.

3. TWO of the girls who accused Percy of defending and protecting an abuser, have been called out and ADMITTED to defending and protecting an abuser themselves. Desiree, the girl who accused Percy of siding with rapists, admitted after being called out that she had defended and protected an abuser. In fact, she didn’t just defend an abuser, she actively BULLIED his victims and made their lives hell. Kay also got called out and admitted to defending + protecting an abuser but excuses herself because she is a “victim.” THESE are the people who are currently claiming the moral high ground and claiming to advocate for victims. I find it hypocritical that these girls are excusing themselves because they were “manipulated” but they make Percy out to be then villain because he wanted to “hear it from both sides.” Also, guess who still follows a known rapist/abuser on Instagram? It’s NOT Percy but Kay the victim advocate herself. Update 23/01/23: It was NOT Kay but their close friend Karis who still followed Brycen the rapist. I mistakenly thought Kay and Karis were the same person because they have similar names + same personality. Karis has also been working very hard to cancel Percy and only JUST NOW unfollowed Brycen the rapist after being called out. UPDATE 26/01/23: Proof that Karis is a dishonest, manipulative person who cannot be trusted. She’s basically pissed off that Percy friend zoned her so she’s now vaguely claiming to be a “victim” of Percy but never specifying what crime he actually committed. The link also contains receipts of her protecting the identity of an ACTUAL rapist. (The one she got called out for following).

4. Aries said that she NEVER sent anyone violent threats but was caught on Instagram doing exactly that.

5. Spreading around nude photos of someone online without their consent IS A CRIME. So there are these nude photos of Percy going viral which I am not going to post here because I think it’s fucking disgusting to spread what basically amounts to REVENGE PORN of someone. Sharing intimate images of someone without their consent is a serious CRIME in Canada and every other developed country in the world and it has serious legal repercussions including FINES and JAIL TIME. Now it’s said that he sent those photos to minors as an adult. We don’t really have proof of that other than someone SAYING it was sent to a gc full of minors. Percy’s age at the time has been contested, but no matter what age he was it is NOT ok to leak nudes of someone. You also have to question the motives of someone who BRAGS about spreading nudes of someone. And also using the R slur, because they are such good people!

UPDATE 23/01/23: EVEN MORE nude photos from when Percy was a teenager have been leaked. People are victim-blaming Percy and using his nude photos as proof that he is a rapist. Interestingly enough, one of Percy’s main accusers, Aries, also has nude photos from when she was a teenager that I KNOW she would not want leaked. But she laughs when it happens to Percy. Fucking hypocrite.

6. This is all fun and games for them.

At this point it’s already been established that the main girls behind the #cancelpercy hashtag are guilty of bullying and silencing SA victims, of sending violent threats to people, of using the R slur in 2023, and of happily spreading around revenge porn. It is therefore not a stretch to think that they might take JOY in taking down another person, especially a person they may be jealous of. Those who defend Percy’s accusers claim that they have absolutely NOTHING to gain from making these accusations. I disagree. They are gaining clout and followers from this. Aries and Kay have also made it clear that this is all big FUN for them as they spread around his nudes and demand memes of him in jail. If I was a lawyer looking at how these girls are behaving on social media, it would NOT be looking good for them at all.

7. Aries said she couldn’t watch Wednesday because of Percy being in it. However she tweeted about watching the show when it first released, and her main complaint about the show had absolutely NOTHING to do with Percy.

8. MANY inconsistencies and flat-out falsehoods in the allegations have been pointed out in this Twitter thread.

9. Not every sexual misconduct allegation against a famous person turns out to be true.

This may sound cold and blunt but it’s literally a fact. Percy isn’t the first celeb to get accused of shit and he’s not going to be the last. Here’s a list of celebrities who have been falsely accused of being sex pests in recent years. Melanie Martinez should also be on this list. I remember a few years ago when everyone cancelled Melanie Martinez because of rape allegations made by her former friend, her fans made videos of themselves burning her merch, and then it turned out to be bullshit.

It’s really unfortunate, but we live in a world of clout chasing and cancel culture. That’s why it’s good sometimes to be skeptical towards allegations made online. I’m not saying you should automatically disbelieve people who accuse celebrities, but rather, take it with a grain of salt. Wait for more information to come out before you pull out your pitchforks. Use your brain.

10. The EVIDENCE against Percy is SKETCHY AS FUCK.

Like I’m sorry, but it is. In fact calling it “evidence” is being generous because the evidence is basically non-existent.

First of all most of the “proof” is literally just allegations made with text messages (which, I will point out, are easy to fake to begin with, there are tutorials all over tik tok and YouTube about how to create fake messages.)

For example they are claiming that Percy raped a 14-year-old girl which is obviously a SERIOUS goddamn crime and their so-called “PROOF” is these text messages that could have been written by literally ANYONE, saying “we fucked.” That’s it. That is not PROOF, that is a story told by an anonymous, faceless rando.

Percy’s silence is also NOT proof of guilt. Literally any good LAWYER would tell him to be quiet in a case like this, as anything you say could be used against you in the case. They also are most likely gathering the evidence and letting the girls keep talking so they can discredit themselves even more. Also, if Percy DID make a statement, the same people would also use THAT as evidence that he’s guilty as well, because they’d accuse him of trying to do damage control. I really believe Percy is in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.

People have also been really weird about their “proof” as well, like, claiming they’re too scared to share all the proof but also begging people to spread it around. Also, people have manipulated pictures to make it look like Percy has held this girl on his lap against her will. Just really weird, stupid stuff.

It’s also a reliable constant that Aries and Kay have soooo many allegations but never any evidence.

I’ve seen people use this as proof of a rape confession and I’m like… NO THE FUCK IT ISN’T??? First of all if this message is even real… You can’t even see the whole context of the conversation here but it sounds like it could be about cheating rather than rape. We already know Karis (the one who provided the SS) is untrustworthy because she continued to follow a known rapist Brycen on instagram and only unfollowed him AFTER accusing Percy when people called her out for it. So I'm definitely not gonna take her word for it.

Also, receipts of Percy being problematic are NOT proof of him being a rapist.

You would think this was self-evident but apparently it’s not. Ok first of all, I DO NOT CARE if you want to hate this man because of a problematic tik tok from 3 years ago or whatever. That is YOUR prerogative. I’m not trying to make anyone like him. My focus is on the sex crime allegations. I just think it’s both unfair and immoral to label someone as a rapist and go in a witch hunt with no real evidence. I’ve seen people say that it doesn’t matter if the allegations against Percy are false bc they still hate him for being problematic. But it DOES matter?? Contrary to popular opinion on the internet, innocent until proven guilty DOES still matter and it’s the reason we don’t live in a tyranny, getting our hands chopped off for crimes we didn’t commit. I am not saying this because I’m a “simp” for Percy (as someone else has called me) nor do I want to have sex with him. I made this post because I care about the truth and I care about justice. I am also against online cancel mobs that care more about going on a witch hunt than looking at the actual facts.

23/01/23 UPDATE: I made a post addressing the nazi allegations against Percy because those are SERIOUS accusations which once again have no proof.

24/01/23 UPDATE: Since I made this post, more accusations have been lobbed against Percy regarding his instagram likes and text messages he allegedly sent. You can read my thoughts on those accusations at the links.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please share if you can. 🙏🏻 Hell, even if you want to reblog this post just to hate on me, you are at least helping it spread and I appreciate that.

I can`t believe that I had to go through this eddie-was-left-behind-when-he-could-have-been-saved trauma again eddie kaspbrak, eddie munson, come on, boys, we`re leaving because you deserved so much better
