Hello, long time lurker on here (and guru gossip).
Thought I'd throw my two cents in with the things going on recently. I stopped supporting Emma Blackery a long time ago, I was already losing interest in 2018 but still gave her the benefit of the doubt, and went to see her on tour... the m&g was a shit experience because it seemed like she just wanted to get everyone out of the way. Like yes, pay me money for my time but I'm not even going to put effort in towards being nice to you. I can't imagine her ever actually going out of her way to be kind to people who support her, for free, if she can't even put any effort in for m&g's . I've seen Tessa Violet taking pictures with fans in the queue before a concert and she was so sweet. With Emma, I just get the worst vibes. Not like she has many fans left, but I can guarantee that the small amount that are there will eventually get tired of her bullshit.
I was also part of the fandom which was a fucking mess and one of the most toxic communities I've ever been a part of. I still remember some of the people and I think I might have an idea of who she was talking about.
The way she has been treating her fans has been getting on my nerves and it is the reason why I stopped fully supporting her. I don't even know where to bloody start if I'm honest...
She's either rude or she gets overly involved. She's always had a problem of being unprofessional and trying to get too close to fans. I kind of see it as a manipulation tactic to get people to stay supporting her. I assume that's why shit has hit the fan recently and what the drama is about from the lurking I've done.
When you think about it, these youtubers, influencers or whatever you want to call them, hold so much power. If someone you idolised and was a fan of gave you an opportunity to have close contact such as talking via DMs, you'd take it... Especially as a young, easily manipulated and impressionable teen (what most of her fans are). If she was a male youtuber, people would be cancelling her. It's truly odd to not have any connections with people your age. This is what really rubs me off the wrong way... You'd think that any professional person wouldn't try to become friends with a fan. She knows that there is a power dynamic and there is absolutely no way this would work. Who knows how much a person would let her get away with until they snap...
As with her playing the victim and starting drama... I don't understand how it can be a good look. The way she was trying to contact an actual celebrity to "warn" her about an ex-fan? Honestly beyond pathetic and embarassing on her part and I hope she realises that. She's old enough to not get involved with petty bullshit, but it's Emma Blackery so we aren't surprised. I'd also like to add that the stalking issue has been something that she does. It's so weird and obsessive. For "security measures" my ass, nobody knows who you are love, you barely even get anyone replying to your tweets unless it's attention seeking
From that message... the fan was just trying to peacefully offer becoming civil. I don't care what beef you have, I don't care what happened... this is a personal matter you shouldn't drag everyone else into. Don't make it public, block and move on or discuss the matter privately. How hard is it?
I don't think she'll ever grow out of this victim mentality and that she's never in the wrong. We've seen this happen over the years again and again. She really needs to go to therapy. But of course, a person who thinks they're always right and always the victim will never take any steps to better themselves. She's a fucking hypocrite because she goes back on her words all the damn time. That's why I have no hope for her, and the reason she has lost so many loyal fans over the years.
She needs to realise that she isn't this big celebrity that she thinks she is and needs to stop being so childish. Only surrounding yourself with your 10 remaining fans who are scared to ever call you out will never get you anywhere. I'm convinced she could do anything and they'd still defend her because they have no self respect
