#and remembered that Jay mentioned he'd spent MONTHS stalking&filming Alex during that time between seasons 1&2 in a title card

actually, it's Fascinating to think about how Jay being the main editor of the series minimizes his crimes/negative qualities.. I was going to ask 'Do you think he does it on purpose?' but honestly, I think it never even occurs to Jay that his actions might have consequences because he's SO convinced he's nothing more than an Outside Observer - even if he knows it's weird/bad why would it Matter to him? Or to anyone else? Don't they know he needs answers???

#N posts stuff #mh lb #i got batshit paranoid on my way to work and then when i calmed down i was like 'hang on a second' #and remembered that Jay mentioned he'd spent MONTHS stalking&filming Alex during that time between seasons 1&2 in a title card #he does the same thing during the gap between 2&3 with Tim; cuts Weeks of stalking down to like 45 seconds of footage #really has me wondering how often [bad] things happened bc Jay was skulking around making things worse w/o realizing #like. The Tunnel Incident - Alex (at least at first) 100% thought that stranger was Jay - 'i told you not to follow me' he yells #and knowing that Alex has lingering psychosis AND the Operator stalking him AND NOW a human stalker following him every day for MONTHS #following him and filming everything he does AND who has a key to his house like no WONDER he was so on edge #(not that it excuses the uh. murder but you Know what i mean) #not 2 mention the multiple Extreme violations of Tim's privacy - posting his college phone call to his doctor And his medical records #(Jay didn't censor those btw - Brian did; if he Hadn't i 100% believe Jay would have refused to - he was pissed they came to him like that) #how much Worse would that confrontation have been if Tim hadn't interrupted Jay by googling MH when he did?? #it's no Wonder Tim refused to let Jay see the tape of Jess - if he knew about it he 100% would have started stalking her without giving #a Single thought to the repercussions bc why would he? He Needs To Know - why would he even think to hesitate?
