You know what. The whole lot of you that have just sat here and slated me and my friends are disgusting. Who are you to say that Danny's tweet wasn't insensitive, just because it didn't affect you personally? A lot of people were upset this morning, and they were in a bad place and to see someone use fictional characters in the place of real people hurt them. All most people said was 'this isn't a joke', or 'that was insensitive to say considering what's just happened' because that's what Danny's post looked like at the time. Maybe not to you, ok, but that's you're opinion, not everyone's. No one was full on hateful towards him, not as far as I saw, and definitely not my friends. They just didn't appreciate the tweet, that's it. That's allowed.
Like do you realise how horrible those posts up there felt to read? People join fandom's most of the time as a way to leave the real world behind and find some happiness in a TV show, or in a ship or talking to new people who enjoy the same things they do etc. And to see people hating on you for doing nothing but enjoying that, by going to meet your favourite actors together, is shocking and incredibly hurtful. Like you've made people feel like shit and cry about this, I hope you know that. No one meant Danny any harm and all made that very clear, they just wanted him to understand that they didn't like what he had tweeted personally. Key word there, personally.
Yeah, we do go to the studios to see the cast. Personally, I've been about 5 times since the beginning of this year, in between working 35-40 hours a week for the first 8 months of the year and recently starting univeristy. A lot of the group have jobs, or go to college/univeristy themselves, but we meet up in out spare time and not even always to 'stalk' at the studios. Because we are friends, or 'bezzie mates', as some of you kindly put. I go to the studios to talk to the cast and talk about the show, because it's a show that makes me, and my friends, happy and the cast are more than happy to that too. The ones that don't want to come over, don't. And we have no problem with that. Why is that not a thing I'm allowed to do in my spare time without being ridiculed? Like are we not all here to support the same people? Why not be happy for those that get to meet the actors instead of degrading them?
I'm guessing a lot of you here are what, 20+, 30+, probably more? And are you seriously sitting there dragging people down, some probably significantly younger than you, for doing nothing but spending time with their friends, being happy and standing up for themselves when they personally feel like something isn't right? Seriously? That's low.
