Have you seen the new Wilbur thingy... ;-;

i have, i posted it on my ig story earlier. Its disgusting, but i'm not... too surprised...? I was expecting his past girlfriends to come forward, someone like that doesn't strike once, and it might not be the worst we hear as things unfold.

"How did everyone fall for him despite of the obvious red flags?"

An IRL recently asked me this and I think it's good to share my response here, too.

Since the very beginning William Gold sold us, his fan base, on the idea that Wilbur Soot was his digital persona. A fictional character / alter ego he acted through. In SootHouse, in the ARG, the comedy songs, and in normal streams. Wil was meant as a parody of incel culture. So anything super alarm worthy was dismissed as in character.

This became a major problem for Wil when the DSMP exploded in popularity. As suddenly thousands of new eyes were on the first song of the Boyfriend Trilogy and his old work. Wil rushed to remove the most offensive and criticized works of his. He had to morph the Wil character from a creepy freak into a more tolerable one; landing on a charming, self aware, famous egomaniac.

He made this switch and tried to paint more separation between 'himself', Wilbur Soot the character, and DSMP!Wilbur. But often would use it as a shield for criticism. When he said rude / did things people assumed it was a joke.

That's why he got away with this for so long. He openly joked about biting Niki all the time and we, the fans, didn't bat an eye. It's not the audience's fault for having literal years of content telling us not to take him seriously.

wilbur doesn’t address any of the other terrible things he did to shubble. no mention of how they were stuck in the house because he didn’t make them a key. how he wouldn’t clean up after himself, wait for them to do it and brag about it to his friends. how he pinned them down. how he paid for barely anything in the relationship. how he would lie to them constantly. he probably thinks that the biting is something he can defend easier by claiming it was consensual EVEN THOUGH HE IGNORED THE SAFE WORD and if people start to believe him on this everything else will fall into place. i hope nobody let’s this happen he should not be allowed to get away with this

might even write for the bursonas.

staying on hiatus but fuck this…

this is shit…

i don’t know what i’m gonna do now that the allegations are true. he’s been one of my favourite creators for years and now it feels impossible to just drop him.

i don’t want to be an abuse apologist, and i still want to use tumblr.

yes, he was a piece of shit.

yes, he was an absolute dog.

but, i’m gonna struggle.

genuinely.

i have nothing else to say. i know how horrible this situation is but i cannot seem to just let him or the is situation go.

bash me in my inbox and call me a piece of shit, i don’t care.

going on a hiatus properly now.

no posts, no reblogs. nothing.

i will interact with mutuals in likes and comments, but nothing too public. don’t worry moots, i will still text you on discord and snap.

i don’t know how long, but i’ll be gone for as long as what feels right.

I think I'm gonna go on a pretty long hiatus/break ax (mostly because of school, family problems and other things)

oh alright!

that’s fine, i might as well just because everything going on right now but i highly doubt that shubble and/or wilbur are going to specify names or confirm anything so idk.

#ax blabbers #this entire situation is bullshit #let shelby tell her story #this isn’t about wilbur and she never mentioned a name for a reason #to stay out of legal trouble or to keep peace we don’t know #but none of this was about wilbur #let shelby tell her story and let her have the spotlight for more than a few seconds #she needed support and we need to give it to her
