ii am a little late, about maybe a few days, but i do want to talk about what wilbur soot did to shelby, his ex-girlfriend.
if you don't know who i'm talking about, wilbur soot and shelby are content creators on youtube known for their minecraft letsplays that i have been invested in for far too long.
there was a video on youtube i recently saw come out about wilbur soot and the abuse that he did to shelby and some of his other friends. wilbur would bite people, a lot, and it would hurt, a lot. it was to the point that people would get bruise marks and sometimes start gagging. wilbur would also gaslight shelby, which by the way is also really bad.
wilbur eventually released an apology out on twitter (or x, whatever you call it) about like what happened, and how he's been taking therapy for it. i can't really say he said sorry though since it wasn't really proper. it's like you punched someone in the face and said "sorry bro." like it's not real, not genuine.
now i've known about wilbur soot for a long time. i've known him long enough to call him the dirty crime boy, the dirty crime boy. i've known him long enough to know about the vlog gun, and what he did to it. but i have never thought that he would do something so insidious. i loved him (/p.) i looked up to him. i idolised him. in my eyes, he was an amazing person. he was the person. but i can't say i hate him. what he did to shelby is unforgiveable and horrible, and should never be validated. but he's a part of my childhood, and it's a hard thing to let go. it's really hard for me to move on, if you get it. i can't completely imagine what it'll be like without those stupid yet hilarious jokes he used to tell, those stupid bits he used to pull. but i'll have to make do, ' have to make do.
i really fucking miss him. in an odd way, it's kind of like he's died. that's sort of what happens to people to get cancelled, right?
wilbur soot, the man that was, our childhood.
