@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife Great. And the evidence amassed would speak for itself.
The bottom line is that this hasn’t died down as much as you claim. Just because you personally don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s over.
@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife If you genuinely knew who’s being this account, you’d know I had a lot more to lose than to gain by believing those who spoke out.
I was around in 2009. I saw what was going on. I thought it was normal & fine & wonderful.
Nearly 15 years later, I know that none of it was.
@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife Anyway, I’m not looking to convince you of something you’re set against believing.
But that also doesn’t mean the conversation has stopped & people have forgotten.
@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife Legit it’s completely new voices every time.
Not a single person who spoke out did so for the attention.
They did so to speak their truth.
& others realized they weren’t alone.
I’m not sure who the “you” is you keep talking about, I’m just a lil pink giraffe 🦒🙀💁🏼♀️🤷🏽
@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife Funny thing is, it’s new voices every time.
Maybe the conversations aren’t vague and baseless. Maybe others have experienced the same. Maybe voices have been heard 🤷🏼♀️
@honorturkey@itsbleekerxox@zachsgotlife Just because so many moved off this toxic site doesn’t mean the conversations still aren’t happening.
Only difference is that people are actually listening now 🤷🏼♀️
@soNoDGsny0hyI5C She knew where the line was, and was calculated in how far it was pushed so as not to do anything illegal, while still acting inappropriately.
@soNoDGsny0hyI5C The honest answer is no, not of the reported accounts. Younger victims were removed before things went too far, and Alice’s actions with legal adults were carefully calculated (as in, waiting until after a person turned 18).
@queensalonga_ I’m sure that person did (& I saw they had a ton of stuff already). I don’t fault people for not knowing, I fault those know and choose to ignore it.
if next to normal does transfer and alice ripley is involved and everyone switches up and starts supporting her again im gonna start ripping my hair out
On the flip side, I appreciate how many people listened to what was being said, saw the evidence presented, and believed those that spoke out.
Your support is overwhelmingly appreciated.
It’s been over a year since the discourse started & I still can’t believe how many people saw the personal stories of Alice Ripley interacting inappropriately with teens and thought to, at best, think it’s totally fine and, at worst, victim blame.
Against my better judgement, I watched the clip of “I Miss the Mountains” from the immersive Next to Normal. My personal feelings about Alice Ripley aside, I don’t think it’s that good. Either the acoustics are horrible or the sound designer made some not great choices.
The projections around the room don’t feel like they match the moment.
And the direction seems to be “turn around slowly so everyone can see you.”
Additionally, it seems as though Alice is giving the same performance she gave nearly 15 years ago. No growth. No change.
