Arthur and Gwen Article: There Is A Line: Stop Crossing It

posted by EPaws

Now, I visit my tumblr about four times per araw for supplies and amusing convos with a few people I rather like a great deal, but something came up on my dash that pissed me off to no end. No, this is not a point for jokes and laughter this crossed the line.

I am not a prude. I am so far from a prude you could not imagine, but there has to be a freaking line where the humour stops and you realize you are dealing with human beings.

Don't encroach!

As it is the ARWEN spot, I thought I could talk about my pissitude here. Again, I will take this down if anyone doesn't get where I am going here from this simple shot and begin making 'huurrrr hurrr comments and snickering behind their hands' like a pubescent teen unfamiliar with human biology. I don't care if it is imaginings or not.

IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE.

Act your age, not your shoe size ladies. ipakita a little class.

Why are people so juvenile? It is one thing to crack jokes but stop making it so beyond personal.

You think this shit doesn't get back to the actors in question? How do you think it makes them feel as people? They are just people. I don't care how much you may or may not be infatuated with them, you have no right as a sentient human being to put shit up like this and think there are no reprecussions. Have some grace.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

I've seen some stuff on tumblr that makes me cringe cause no one seems to know where the line is.

Please stop it. It is rude and very dehumanizing. OH and be warned. I really, really will get hateful if this becomes a point for laughter.

EPaws They have since taken it down, thank God. Cause the convo was getting completely out of hand. Yeah, in case you are wondering, I stuck my nose in and NO, I will not identify who put it up. That is IRRELEVANT. So please do not bother asking. They thought better of it. Sorry if you hate me for this post, but I think sometimes, just sometimes it is good to be reminded of the line.

Melisey I totally understand you Stacey. You can come across the most horrible things on tumblr. And when it comes to the actors of Merlin a lot of fans seem to be encroaching. They have no respect for peoples privacy or personal territory. I have seen some pretty horrible manipulated images of the actors. Some of them almost made me fall of my chair. The actors of Merlin should be respected like human beings. Instead I see so many disrespect them and treat them like objects. I understand your frustration. I'm sorry to say it but those fans seem mentally disturbed to me. Some of what they post is pretty creepy and down right sick.

EPaws Yes, Melisey. I have seen those too and sometimes, unsuspecting some of those I follow reblog. Guess what? I instantly unfollow cause it indicates a predisposition. Yes, we are in agreement. The ones doing most of this are mentally unbalanced and the ones, not in this instance, who do this manner of revolting manips you speak of come from one faction. I know human sexuality is mutable and a moving target, but what they find fascinating or remotely sexy one, makes clear, they have never had sex. Two, their over-excitement is pure perversion of biological facts and even physical possibilities worthy of cirque du soleil. Three, they need to take their meds. Quite often what they imagine, no, pretty much always, what they imagine, they see isn't even vaguely tangible to anyone with a rational mind. Yeah, I am pissed. Hugs

Nasty_Nat I truly understand, Stacey and I don't hate you for it at all. Instead I just love you even more for pointing that out. When I go read some of those comments on tumblr, I'm thinking are they 12 or what. Do they have better things to do with their time. I always say when you have a busy life with work or school, you don't have time for bullshit. Don't forget those people are envyess (don't even know if it's a word, but hell). Jealousy makes you do stupid things or they are just inbalalnced people like you said they need meds ASAP. I would be glad to give them to them. I can choose you know like : Valium or Prozac. Anyways, I will stop b/c I'M giving them to much of time arguying. Thank you for sharing, my dear

EPaws LOL! Word, Natalie. As a medical professional I am sure you could help with their pressing needs. Merci cherie!

sportyshuie I understand your bitter here stacey and you have absolute right to be gutted. I havent caught anything like this on tumblr yet but i have seen it elsewhere and each time it makes me cringe inside!! I used to wonder what sort of people are all this!! Are they sitting on their brains or what ... i used to confide to my sister because it hurts so much to tolerate those assholes! So i understand the bitterness you're going through ... and it's never wrong to bring the dark side of us once in a while for the sake of protecting those we care. Sending you a virtual hug to make you feel better, love.

Nasty_Nat Stacey, any time baby. Any time.

MISAforever Too many idiots live on this world

Melisey Hugs back Stacey and if any place is the place to vent about it. It is here. Because no one here is part of all that craziness. The cast of Merlin needs to know there is a sane and normal part of the fandom as well. :) And I agree with all that you have said here.

EPaws Thank you, ladies.

Niti19 *idiot alert* *and that idiot is me* I'm not sure about what is being discussed here. Are you guys saying that the picture is inappropriate? Did some people over-analyse it? I only see his shirt there, nothing weird. And when they kiss, I just look at their faces and I smile like crazy and I feel all the fluff and everything else is just in the background.

greenmangoes they drew something on the lower portion of his anatomy =(

kbrand5333 And the truly idiotic thing about it is that they've circled NOTHING incriminating or embarrassing. The only embarrassment that should be felt is by the person that drew the damn circle and arrow.

EPaws Thank you! Thank you very much. He is a male. He best have parts! Goes back to ignorance. Sigh. Whatever. She took it down that is what counts. Really and truly, the sometimes immaturity is painful to watch. As you know, Kim, was actually told I was a hypocrite cause I make jokes all the time. Yes, but what this clear member of the brain trust doesn't realize to allude in an amusing fashion and be amused by circumstances is one thing. Personal invasion of an individuals space is quite another. Know when and where the freakin line is. As I said before. These are just people. Just because they are in our faces, by choice, for our own entertainment does not give you carte blanche to be offensive, mean and dehumanizing. Have some respect.

Niti19 Yeah, I saw the circle and the arrow. But there is nothing there! It's just his shirt. And you can't expect your clothes to lie flat on your body. People do over-analyse things, don't they. And all I have to say is - and I quote Mr. T - I pity the fool! You know what, I think I'm off topic here. Lol!
