i honestly cant wait til 5 years from now when the mcelroys will have taken on the status of john green and yall will deny ever having been into them
This will happen and I will love it
man like i won’t stan for the mcelroys but like can you imagine being this willing to just ruin a bunch of kids interests for them
like y’all gotta keep in mind that there are a ton of kids on this site who are emotionally stupid as hell and highly prone to suggestion, and just reading somethin like this is enough to make them feel like they’re wrong for enjoying something.
Rather than taking a small joy away from some kid’s life because you’re jaded and hate fun, maybe instead you could like, fuck i dunno, plant a tree, make art, do something generative
like ur basically saying “cant wait for these people you trust to do something shitty and offensive. that’ll teach you to care about things”
Hey, also? The Bros have already fucked up, before. Many times. The difference is, pretty much every time, they apologize and try to improve. If you’re just sitting around waiting for these (actual real life) people to be Problematic then… congratulations? It’s happened? It’s happening? Everyone does problematic things?
What matters is how those slips are handled. And, honestly, the McElroy Bros do a pretty damn good job of self improvement and making sure their fans are OK.
And if you’re just sitting around waiting for implosion and chaos because you like watching people stop loving things? You’re a dick. Let people enjoy things. And let people /stop/ enjoying things without acting like doing so always has to lead to some horrible bloodbath.
I’ve seen lots of fans disappointed in the Bros before and they, just, stop consuming the media. That’s it. Because that’s…the mature way to handle being disappointed by media content.
