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.

See, I don't have any problem believing that he's grieving in some fashion. But taking someone who was a friend, gradually ratcheting up the descriptions of their relationship until the were life partners, creating the "tea ceremony" shit and encouraging people who didn't even know her to meditate on [his version of] her? Those are all inherently DISRESPECTFUL uses of a real person. When people discuss his revisionist approach to his relationship, they aren't denying that he lost someone; we're pointing out that EVEN IN THE FACE OF LOSS he can't fucking stop lying.

See also his grandfather: another real person, whom he probably loved, but still lied about.

He's spent years developing her hagiography, was going on about it fairly recently and all of a sudden he's practically forgotten her? It's hard to buy any narrative as his true feelings at this point.
