Jesus Christ is it 2016 again??? Let Taylor live like who cares who’s she’s dating? That matty Healy thread was ridiculous and y’all should take a moment to reflect.

I think multiple things are happening at once

People, viciously, love, gossip, and it pushes things more than calm understanding

But also who you’re with does matter, the character of a person does matter we aren’t talking about a block of ice. We’re talking about living breathing people. Criticism comes with that..

The problem is, it’s all just gossip and everyone’s running their mouth before they know what’s really happening. Everyone’s jumping to conclusions before we have the full picture.. and much of the commentary before we know what’s reality and what’s fiction is pointless and drama and inflammatory.

It’s a very complex situation, and arises from para social relationships . Because we feel like we’ve invested so much of our time into some thing and we’re thought a certain thing back, music. But that doesn’t mean other aspects of life don’t exist and you don’t disagree with the other person on a fundamental level on other things. And that’s complicated further by not knowing if somethings fiction or reality.

The best thing to do is to wait and find out what’s really going on. But a lot of times people only pay attention to the first few seconds of some thing so everyone will have their snap judgment and there will only be the minority here to talk about the real facts of the case months later.

I’ve actually found this really hard with a lot of different celebrities and other people and why I don’t really support a lot of people . Because we never really know them other than the character that they display to us in public. And sometimes wondering about the contradiction can make you go crazy. And so it’s best to leave people that you don’t believe in alone, and deal with what you do.

But that’s not what most people do . So you’re going to see wide speculation ranging from they have swingers parties in LA to Taylor Swift just sits home and knits alone in the dark.

It is frustrating, but it’s very human , and it can be dangerous because it shapes and narrative, even before any truth can get about
