Thank you, anon. I don’t understand it either, to be honest. In the last few days, I’ve seen and read unbelievably mean things directed to the Gillovny fandom. If people manage to be happy for Gillian, good for them. I will, and I would be happy for her if she did look happy, which was not the case, at least, not around him.
There is no emotional attachment to him or their supposed relationship, so there is no need for anyone to shame and bash Gillovny fans like it has been the case.
If there’s one thing Gillian told us, it is to be generous. We’re all happy to share and participate as much as we can to her charity, but in the world I live in, charity starts in your own community. If you’re unable to help your own people when they need to, I think it says a lot about who you really are. There are real people in this fandom who have stopped eating, sleeping, going to work or leaving their bed. You might find it stupid, silly or inconsistent. You might think it’s our fault if we were so emotionally invested in something we had no idea if it was true or not. You might disagree with our opinions but it is happening.
I have received messages, anon and non-anon, from people who aren’t and were not Gillovny and still are very supportive about what we are living. I wish it would be the case with everyone, because in the end, we are one fandom, we love the same show and the same people. So if you don’t want to support your own people when they’re in pain, just shut up.
