Re: Kurt Hummel Snark & Bark Thread--Part 8

[angelnessa]

Unfortunately, there are websites dedicated to celebrity houses that reveal the address and post pictures from real estate purchases.  They get these pictures  and addresses right of the real estate listing on the websites for the realtors (or places like zip realty).  Many states even have online databases you can search to find people's addresses, deeds, mortages, etc. (my state has them). The address and pictures were pretty well circulated when he bought the house (If memory serves me correctly, some people even mentioned that the drove by it).

So, the address itself isn't that difficult to find, but circulating it is not cool at all.  

True. The address and photos were posted when he first moved into that home. In this latest case, the information was publicly accessible through the White Pages, which you have to pay money to opt out of (completely wrong, IMO). Word is that the info from the White Pages has been removed. What the info did show, before removal, is that Will apparently now shares the same address, which is why this latest round of hullabaloo started. But the information absolutely shouldn't have been circulated yet again. I don't know if it was trolls doing it, to stir the pot, or people just not thinking.

A combination of people wanting to prove they live together to have a 'riot' and/or gain notes/followers and people wanting to 'prove' they don't live together and it is all a PR conspiracy. Both reasons for such irresponsible acts the preserve of fuckwits, I think we will all agree.

People are really crazy, aren't they? Seriously, who the hell would think of looking Chris and/or Will up in the White Pages.

TBH, human curiosity is human curiosity. People will do things like that sometimes. Whatever. The problem comes when people then:
1) Hint all over the place on tumblr, in increasingly obvious ways, that they know 'something' and whip people up into also wanting to know 'something' and/or 2) Post that information on tumblr.

If people who get to find stuff out would just have a private little squeey skype chat with their buddies, no one would be the wiser. But no. They have to prize (instead of respect for boundaries) followers, notes, scoring points and a deeply suspect fandom 'loyalty' that means that you can't keep something quiet but instead have to tell the whole fandom or you are MEAN!!!!! And then that feeds into the hands of people who tweet/post crap to Chris, his bf and friends and colleagues and violate boundaries even more.  

[ColferInspired]

This is the second time this has happened since Chris started dating Will. This happened last month as well.  

Why can't these idiots be satisfied pics, or chance meetings, or sightings? 
It is none of their bloody business whether he is living with Chris or not.  

That is going way too far.

You don't spread that kind of information on a public site where anyone and everyone can see it. 

And they say they are fans of Chris's. 

[kac]

Fans are crazy, I remember my brother-in-law getting calls way back when the Back Street Boys were first on the scene. He had the same last name as one of the band members and he got calls from people who looked him up in the phone book asking if he was related to the guy (there was a rumour that there was a cousin who lived in our city).

Never underestimate the silliness of rabid fans!

[Lottie2303]

Can someone explain why by Tumblr dash is full with romantic Hummelberry AND posts that Chris and Lea are actually dating in real life??!  Where is all of this coming from??! I don't get it.  

[glimmerle]

^ There's someone trying to point out to CC-shippers how delusional and disrespectful they are by applying their reasoning to Colchele.

http://seriously-this-is-why.tumblr.com

Maybe it's them and/or people jumping on their bandwagon?

[valkeakuulas]

I read that massive post and found it quite hilarious, but as much as I liked it, it doesn't belong to the Chris Colfer tag either.

CC shippers have been beyond comprehension in the last few days and maybe someone blew a fuse. It's actually 80% crap that I find in Chris' tag in tumblr this week and it's getting to me too.

[Georgette888]

I don't understand how many people have taken that post seriously. It is written as satire and is hilarious and it even says what its point is in the bolded part at the top.

I know, I don't get it either. That's one of the most interesting things I've found since I started interacting with people on the Internet, how many people don't get satire, or sarcasm, or irony. I can understand if English isn't a person's native language, how the subtleties of a written piece may be misinterpreted, but many of these people seem to be native English speakers. I know some people have reading and comprehension disorders as well. My youngest son is on the autism spectrum, and takes everything at face-value, satire and sarcasm are still foreign concepts to him. Maybe they are just really young. I'm a very sarcastic person, but I don't know if I was born that way, or it's just been refined through age and experience .

There are more people in the notes questioning if the OP is serious about Colchele than there are lauding that essay. It really is rather alarming that so many don't get it. Or maybe they're just being purposely obtuse so they aren't forced to rethink their own attitudes and behaviors concerning CrissColfer.

[sheny]

Most of the Glee fans on Tumblr are teenagers and can't understand if someone is sarcastic or serious. I think that's one of the reasons Chris gets so much hate about the things he says.  Of course there are a lot of people who are just dumb.

[sheny]

Tumblr is full of idiots. Yesterday I saw a Blaine stan who was anti-shipping Kurt/existance which is absurd because if Kurt didn't existed there would be no Blaine too. These people seriously forget that the only reason their presious cupcake was created was to be Kurt's mentor/friend/BF. I'm tired of seeing Blaine, Sam (Blam), Sebastian (Seblaine), Brittany (Brittana) or Karofsky fans hating and bashing Kurt or Chris. Darren, Chord, Heather and Grant were all hired on Glee because they were needed for Kurt's storylines but now their stans say that Kurt should have never existed.

It doesn't matter how inspirational he is or how many lives Chris saved with his character. Kurt should disappear because he is standing in the way of their new delusional ship or said something other than praise about their favourite character. That's the most important things after all, isn't it. Who cares about the thousands of kids who see Kurt/Chris as their role model.


Immature brats:angry:  Glee and the fandom were so much better before these characters, ships and their stans showed up.

This is the Glee fandom. Nothing, I repeat, nothing will surprise me anymore. I firmly believe there are actually people who probably sincerely believe this non-sense. I also have to give kudos to the author, because she really wrote a great piece of nonsense that dumfounded me for 5 minutes (during that time I wrote my post), because I didn't believe it but I also didn't get the sarcasm. This is also the internet and many, many people (not just teenager) miss sarcasm. Will is a great example, who seems to be a very sarcastic person and a lot of people are (want to be) offended by his statements.

As I already said: with all the immature, illogical posts about CC shippers, why should I doubt a potential Cochele shipper to be real? It is a bit unfair to all those people ‘stupid’, because I also needed a while to get it, and I am most certainly not a crazy shipper. Even on this very board many commented how Lea/Chris sometimes look like a couple. It is not that hard to grasp that some people out there actually want to believe it and/or are confused by the article. I'd say mission accomplished, because people talk about and it reflects CC madness really, really well. It is one epic posts and I salut the author. She had me for five minutes even though I declared her crazy for that time period .

Agreed.  

They are just secondary characters and Blaine, Brittney and Sam should have stayed as such.  

Sebastian was such a waste. They had such a wonderful actor and character, but they wasted him on boring Blaine.  

Kurtbastian would have worked, as they have two snarky characters, that could both hold their own, and Chris and Grant worked well together.

Seblaine would be boring as is Blam.

[Lottie2303]

I am always amused when I see every now and then Seblaine tumblr posts and about all the chemistry between Darren and Grant. Come on, am objective eye can see they had no chemistry.

Kurtbastian will forever make me sad. They'd destroyed Klaine within seconds. Thank God for amazing FF's.

I can't get enough of Kurtbastian.

Darren and Grant had no chemistry whatsoever.

If Kurtbastian had of happened, Klaine would have died.

There is just so much that the writers could have written and gone in several directions, but they had to waste the screentime on bland Blaine.  

[Lottie2303]

Agreed, they’d totally started constructing stories to dismiss Kurt and highlight Blaine during the Sebastian period. They couldn’t deal with the idea of Kurtbastian actually happening and maybe even (totally!) destroying the Klaine ship. In case Darren and Grant would have had any chemistry, I am totally convinced they would have played with it. For whatever strange reason, they hate to showcase Kurt as attractive sexual being. It makes me mad :badday: .

Kurtbastian is every showrunners wet dream. Seriously. But I accepted ‘Don’t you remember’ as my personal future!headcannon. Glee is much easier to handle this way tonguu

Don't waste your time with Blarrenstans, it requires too much energy and time to convince these people that Mr Perfect Blainers is not that perfect, and that the concept of "endgame!soulmate!" is just eye-rolling, notably when one cheats because he feels lonely after 3 weeks.

Logic isn't the strongest suit of Klainer/Blarren fans. Anyone you can apologize the carpark scene in S3 is out of their minds. That scene was sick and I was a Klainer at the time being totally shocked about this supposed "groundbreaking" episode.

[Georgette888]

YouTube is also notorious as a site of trolls, bigots and ignoramuses. I try to avoid the comments section on any video. It isn't worth trying to reason with most people there.

[fantastica]

there's no need to argue logic w/ people who do not have the ability to think logically. not everybody is smart, and not every smart person is willing to think logically because he/she is not willing to accept the results of that logic.

[ColdFlame96]

Aye you should try to avoid commenting anything negative on Klaine videos. The only comment I ever made on this was that it was more a Blaine solo with Kurt as back-up and not even a good one. Blaine stans are idiots. They can never come up with a counter argument to back up their theory so yet result to mocking and childish insults. So not worth your time.

[valkeakuulas]

What is funny is how adamantly they call us crazy and irrational Kurtsies. If defending Kurt, a character I cheer for anyway, against a man who has cheated and treated Kurt for granted then by all means call me crazy. I know what reputation we have amongst Blarren stans just as well as some of them know how much we appriate their insanity.

They are just terribly defensive of CWM, which is in my opinion,a Blaine solo with Kurt backing him up. Come What May isn't even their best song and most duets between them have been in recent two seasons more about Blaine than Kurt and I'll live with it. I may complain but only in here.
