One thing I see a lot of people saying watcher are doing things "we didn't ask for". Making this whole streaming service / extra patreon to make content that "we didn't ask for". Have y'all considered this: that's not the point? This is THEIR career. THEIR company. They left Buzzfeed so they could have more creative control. The whole point of being a creative is following *your* passions, your ideas. Yes they need to also work with fans to figure out what is and isn't popular, maximize viewers, etc. But some people seem to think fans are entitled to be the one in charge of what they do and don't make and that is wrong.
(I'm not agreeing with any of this situation they created btw. It's just this wording ive seen multiple times that I think we should pause and consider)
ryan “hates to see ghosts” bergara and shane “ghosts hate to see him” madej truly make the most absurd ghost hunting duo in existence. the contradicting synergy never ceases to astound me
Next week on Tumblr Top 5, @wearewatcher's Shane and Ryan bare their hearts lists of their Top 5 SHIPS. And, as always, Coppy will be there to share the Top 5 ships according to the Tumblr-verse.
Speaking of "ships" - watch 'til the end of the episode for a sneak peek at the upcoming Tumblr Special: Total Ship Show!
Anyone who's saying "they remain silent during all this" with the watcher stuff have never been in a situation where everything is crumbling around you and there's intense pressure from some public audience. You are in flight or fight, you are panicking, and trying to figure out what to do. (Whether you're in the right or wrong). They're definitely planning next steps, and I don't think it's wrong to take time to do that vs addressing the situation fueled with emotions.
If you were them in this situation (remember , these are real people, not characters) you'd also be a mess. Not defending the choices they're making or anything, but after I went through something where there was pressure from the public and a group of people and I felt like my life was falling apart, I get it. It's hard. People fuck up, it happens, but I see some of y'all equating this to the try guys situation or Colleen ballinger and it's so not on that level
