continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Odd that someone would call for some boundaries around what people speculate about a dead girl's thoughts during recorded footage? come on.

Anon, can you clarify exactly what was said that had you crying? Because I don't see anything in the thread that, frankly, would be so upsetting given that the context is "we know she was in a close relationship with a serial manipulator who has since been lying about that relationship."

There are absolutely are boundaries about Brittany's life, and since this is a TF community, they probably revolve around keeping discussion of Brittany limited to Andy's involvement with her and the subsequent fallout.

These boundaries have been adhered to. All the discussion I saw was essentially, "This victim of a known manipulator who broke from reality seems/may be similar to other victims of manipulation who broke from reality and suffered as a result."

I'm going to need you to explain your reasoning about why this is so awful, instead claiming "it's just obvious" or invoking emotion as others have done.

From just above where the video was posted - discussion being limited, in the thread in question:

It's disgusting. It's unforgivable. Brittany was a real person, and she was fucking murdered. She was not a character in one of his fucked up roleplays. She was a human being with a family and friends and people who loved her; people who are potentionally still being hurt whenever he decides to namedrop her and wants to act like it's because they were starcrossed lovers.

He does not get to invoke her name every time he wants to garner support for his current crazy scheme or draw attention to his latest pet project. He does not get to re-write the person she actually was just because it bolsters his bullshit narrative.

That seems a lot more respectful than the screeching about "boundaries"

I'll admit here that this is my comment as it might help explain some why -- troll or no troll -- I found the accusations of insensitivity upsetting enough to freeze the thread in question.

The last thing I'd ever want is to be disrespectful on this subject, because that's what Andy does and it's vile.
