I posted this on Twitter a couple weeks ago but thought I'd post it here as well. The second pic is my inspiration. :) And before I get any comments saying it's AI, it's not...🥲 (I tend to get this a lot unfortunately lol)
I just made a similar post like this but about Reita and thought it belonged here as well since it applies to many bandmen.
I am sick and tired of seeing bandmen who've spent their entire lives building their careers and working hard to get where they are, only to be reduced to being the "dead guy" of their band after their deaths. I see this the most on TikTok with these stupid trend like, "he's been dead for (x amount of days) btw" or "he never made it past (whatever age they are)". Do the people posting these seriously not realize how insensitive these posts are or do they just not gaf? They are all so much more than that and deserve to be remembered for the music they left behind and all the things they created.
And this might piss some people off but you can't claim to be their fan then only talk about them being dead. Don't get me wrong I understand making a post about missing them every now and then, but when it's the ONLY thing you're talking about it gets to a point. It's really so frustrating and upsetting to see and I feel like it really hurts all the fans that actually care and are trying to move on. I have been a huge Reita fan for the better part of seven years now and being constantly reminded that he's dead is so frustrating. Yes, I know he's dead, I don't need a constant reminder every single day.
And if you're one of the people who post speculations about his death, you are not a true fan. The rest of the band has asked fans not to yet I still see so many people doing it. Have some respect for them and their friends/families. They are all so much more than just a "dead guy". ✌️
I'm sick and TIRED of seeing these "fans" who only post about Reita's death, especially on TikTok. It's like ever since he passed away multiple accounts have popped up and only make sad edits about him and never talk about anything else but his death. Just this week I've seen 3 different videos that were either speculating about how he died or just insanely disrespectful. One of them was literally captioned, "he never made it past 42 btw" like what the hell??? Why would you even wanna post something like that about him if you're claiming he's your favorite member?! And I get most of the fans on TikTok are young but even when I was a young teenager I had enough common sense to know when something was disrespectful. Plus you have the entire fandom telling you it's disrespectful.
And I mean there's really so excuse for it, especially when it comes to spreading rumors about his death. You have an official statement from the band themselves asking fans not to, yet you still do it then claim you 'love' them? Loving them is not spreading rumors about their best friend. I've blocked and blocked and blocked so many accounts that do this yet these videos still find their way to my feed. Idk maybe I'm biased since Reita has always been my favorite member but you can't claim to love the gazette then only talk about Reita's death.🤷♀️
And don't get me wrong, I understand making an occasional post about how you miss him and what not but it gets to a point... I'm tired of seeing him only being remembered for being the "dead guy" from the gazette when he's so much more than that.
Hi guys, first time posting here. I'm looking to get another English Bulldog puppy but I don't know how to tell the differences between a good breeder and a "bad" one. What are immediate red flags or things I should look for about the breeders? I know bulldogs can have bad health issues, especially if they are bred poorly so I'm trying to be cautious. Thank you in advance!
