Fucking Devastating - Tumblr Posts

God my whole fucking heart goes out to Shelby… I normally hate this sort of language, because it can come off as patronizing, but they are so brave for this. Objectively speaking, Wilbur is a bigger streamer than her, and has a dedicated fan base from his gaming and music. To have come forward about this with no instigation, other than wanting to make it known for those that put themselves around Wilbur or could be in similar situations, is such an incredible thing to do, and I respect them a lot for it. I can only imagine how she’s feeling having to publicize all this too, especially since there are going to be assholes reaffirming every terrible, self deprecating thought she’s had on the situation.

And they’re right about this helping others, because having been in a similar situation it’s REALLY hard to call that sort of behavior abusive from an inside perspective. I personally didn’t even recognize the treatment as harmful towards me until months after we cut contact. I’m so glad they had therapy and solidarity in this and were able to reach a point where they felt able to share this at all. Shelby Shubble is a fucking inspiration, and she deserves all the support feasibly possible.

fuck it everyone tell me about one fanfic which has changed your brain chemistry
