I Am Not Very Involved In This Community So I Am Not Going To Fan The Flames - Tumblr Posts
oh hey real quick also by the way. there's a difference between respecting celebrities' privacy and not prying or speculating about their personal lives (good practice in general) and then picking up on very intentional pieces that a celebrity has given the public on purpose. i will never claim to know exactly what Shubble's intentions were, she is the master of her own mind, but also I believe that she is an incredibly smart person who knows how to handle this. it's basically the socratic method-- if you outright say a name, people are gonna get upset and defensive. if you let people reflect on it for themselves, it's far more likely they'll understand. no one wants to be told their favorite celeb is an abuser, and there would undoubtedly be countless claims of defamation. Shubble's being really intentional especially in the fact that she wrote everything down and practiced before publicly saying this. i'd hazard a guess that speculation is the intent here so i don't think it's disrespectful to think on it. that said, fine line between reflection and gossip, y'know?
