What happened with Robert Manion? I tried looking him up but I couldn’t find anything

CW: S*xual H*r*ssment, Robert Manion

This was posted on Robert's instagram story today

We don't know the full context, but the bottom line is is that regardless of Robert's intentions, the focus should have been on who he caused harm, and doing this before the victim even made any sort of statement, if the victim was going to say ANYTHING at all, makes it look like Robert's covering his own ass, which should never be the first thing you jump to. Whatever happened, whatever the story is, Robert crossed the line by bringing this story into any sort of public space, presumably without any sort of consent.

[beffjlim]

I’m literally shaking over the news I’m so upset and I can’t process it and a really selfish part of me doesn’t want to jump to conclusions. I analysed the post, and we don’t know what it is that actually happened, whether it was just non-consensual flirting or if it was much worse than that.

But no matter what happened, if it was sexual harassment it was sexual harassment and Robert didn’t handle his admittance to it well at all. He shouldn’t have tagged the person in the post for fucking starters, even if they said it was okay, but I don’t KNOW.

I don’t want to defend anything and I’m really not I just... I feel like shit. All of my favourite shows, everything, my favourite fandom, NMT 2 I can’t believe this is happening. It’s just all gone. I’m sitting here sobbing and I don’t know what to do. I just. I feel empty, you know? I remember a time in my life when Starkid was the only thing I felt like living for, and thank god Ive at least moved on past that stage but... fuck, man. What do I do? Do I hold out hope that perhaps we don’t have the full picture? Or do I just... leave the fandom? Because I love the other Starkids so much but he’s in so many shows, all the shows I love. And god, he used to be my favourite. He’s the reason I got into theatre, STARKID is the reason I got into theatre so not only has Starkid been ruined, but theatre itself what THE FUCK IS GOING ON

And again I feel selfish as fuck because my problems are so petty compared to the guy Robert harassed and this whole thing should have been me saying how sorry I was to that guy, but instead I’m complaining about my stupid fandom feelings. Honesty, just ignore this I’m just. I’m really upset. Sorry for the long rant and everything I’m just. God I don’t know how to move on from this. I think this is the worst day of my life, genuinely.

CW: Robert Manion

I know I said I was done talking about this, but I didn't want to let anything languish in my askbox, and I just want to use this post to say that everyone is allowed to be upset, you're allowed to grieve and have mixed feelings. That's normal. I'm not going to shame someone for having any of these sorts of feelings.

As long as you acknowledge that what he did was wrong, and support the victim, you're allowed to have these kinds of feelings. That's all I'm going to say on that.

[beffjlim]

umm????

[beffjlim]

So the Robert Manion situation.

I’m not going to get into exactly what happened here because it could be triggering to people and I don’t want to explain it wrong by accident, but it’s on Robert’s Instagram story. If you don’t have Instagram, it’s basically all over the tag for him on tumblr as well. Im feeling a lot of things that I don’t really want to unpack right now, and I honestly don’t know how to proceed in this fandom, so all I can offer here are a few PSAs. A lot of this is just kind of parroting what I’ve heard around the fandom, and if you think I said anything wrong here, you can absolutely let me know and I will do my best to fix it.

This goes without saying, but don’t defend what he did. It was shitty and wrong. I can 100% understand the want to hope for the best, but there’s no sugarcoating this.

You might have complicated feelings and that’s ok. Other people might feel differently and that’s ok too.

That being said, this isn’t really about you, or me, or anyone except the people directly involved. Nobody owes us, as a fandom, anything. These are people who most of us don’t know personally, and it’s none of our business except for what people decide to share.

I know everyone else has said this, but do not under any circumstances bother other Starkids and Starkid-adjacent folks about this, ESPECIALLY the person Robert tagged. Like I said before, this is not our business and nobody owes us shit.

Also, don’t bother fellow fans to talk about it if they haven’t or don’t want to. It’s a VERY sensitive thing and I can understand why it would make people uncomfortable.

Don’t speculate. I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about why they think Robert came forward now, or why the person hasn’t talked about it, and while I know you have good intentions, this isn’t some fucking hexagon puzzle. These aren’t characters in a musical. These are real people who are online and could potentially see this.

Speaking of characters, if you still like Ethan or hidgens or whoever, you’re not bad for liking them. They aren’t Robert, even if they were played by him.

You’re also not bad for having liked Robert in the past. You couldn’t have known about it. Still, though, do be aware of your personal biases when posting about it. I, for one, really did like him and look up to him, especially as a bi person and an aspiring actor, and I know that that could affect the way I think about this.

If you didn’t like Robert in the past that’s all well and good, but for the love of god, please don’t post shit about “well I always got a bad vibe blah blah blah.” You’re not better than people who were fans of him just because you weren’t. This isn’t your chance to morally one-up other people.

If you’re talking about what happened in detail, please make sure to use proper tags. If you’re not sure if/how to tag something, you can always put an “ask to tag.”

Just…be kind to each other, please. We don’t know the full story, we don’t know what Team Starkid is going to do, if Robert is going to be in nightmare time or future projects, and the only actions we can control are our own. Just do what you can to support the people who need it, step back if you need tp, and remember that there are real, human people seeing what you post.

first thing i said when i found out was “he may be nice, but he’s still a man.”

im disappointed and im angry with you robert

[beffjlim]

Me trying to enjoy and support NT2 and those involved while also trying to stay away from the Robert situation going on:

[beffjlim]

What happened with Robert? /gq

***Content warning Robert Manion/S*xual H*rassment*****

So, it’s unknown the severity of it, though it doesn’t matter: the gist of the story is that he sent non consensual photos and made non consensual remarks to one of his friends , who called him out on it and he apologized, which is the bare minimum, but also tagged the victim himself on his personal instagram. Not to mention Robert did so on his Instagram story, something that would go away in a few hours, more than likely what he thought would happen to his problems. Like I said, however, it’s unknown just what or how much he sent the victim, it only matters that it happened

[beffjlim]

i have no stake in robert manion i promise you but i think im missing something because i wasnt under the impression we had enough information about whatever went down recently to make any judgements of any kind about the situation? like if the instagram story is all we have then i dont understand why people are rushing to either villify OR exonerate him because we? dont? know? anything? about? what? happened? we havent even heard from the alleged victim, right?

Nightmare Time 2 episode where we get the story of Gerald being banned from Cinnabon

[beffjlim]

Since the hype for the inevitable NMT S2 announcement is still pretty high, here's a reminder that Nick didn't say that we'd be getting the Linda-centric story in S2.

I've seen a lot of people talking like we're getting the Linda story in S2 when that's just not what Nick said. So when S2 stuff starts happening and the Linda story isn't there, don't go bothering Nick about it please.

[beffjlim]

So Firebringer starts with them having not long invented singing and now invented dancing... I'm not saying Pokey but...
