So the incredible
@Jane Eyre posted some screenshots from last night’s shitshow, and the one that stuck out to me was the one with Dylan’s dad….
I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there who think this is a touching moment between a father and a son…. A lot of people probably related to him and saw him as more human and endearing because of this little moment…
I don’t know about you all, but that’s not what I got from this stunt….. I see an opportunistic social climber who will literally use
ANYONE to create the right aesthetic for the ‘Gram and to get more attention, fame and brand deals…. He will use the people who love him most to get his hooks in other people’s hearts, even if he has to throw them under the bus to accomplish his goals…. His parents were “very conservative” when he needed to secure the “trans victimhood” card (interesting timing too, that the “I came out at 4 to conservative parents” story came out right before the 365 celebration….(preemptive strike to prevent criticism perhaps?….Hmmm…), so he painted his parents as “very conservative” and implied they didn’t support him (at least at first), but now is completely fine using his father as a prop to endear himself to his fans and detractors alike and to also be praised… it would have been touching if he
HONORED his dad, maybe even cited his father overcoming addiction as his personal inspiration or something….. But that wouldn’t be about Dylan and it wouldn’t stroke his ego or emotionally manipulate his handmaidens, so why bother?
Magnanimous Dylan, such a big hearted, genuine dude that he can forgive the parents who didn’t initially support him and share the biggest stage of his life with them…. Other people might have kept their parents-that-don’t-understand out of it for many reasons, but not Saint Dylan, so full of love….such a sweet soul…..
Such complete and utter bullshit
