My statement on Marilyn Manson’s case and the reason I decided to be impartial

I felt the need to speak up about this whole thing for quite some time but somehow was unable to. I felt down and depressed to the point of nausea. When I heard about this whole situation my heart stopped for a brief moment. Let’s make one thing clear: I’m impartial and I’m not siding neither with Manson nor with Evan. It’s hard to believe that he assaulted her sexually although it’s rather obvious that he had been toxic and abusive towards her in the past. As a grown man he should have understood that she’s young and a bit immature, should have treated her differently and asked for consent in the first place.  I have a feeling that she got into a BDSM relationship without thinking properly about it, or maybe because she was young and went for it thinking it was cool. And I think this because I've heard his relationship with Dita had a lot of that too, but she wasn't harmed by that because she was into it, already had experience etc.

Evan claimed that she's still afraid of her abuser, has nightmares and panic attacks, thinks he'll come after her to get revenge if she tells anyone about what happened, so it clearly hurt her pretty bad, leaving a scar in her psyche.

That being said, Manson wouldn't go after her, or get revenge if she says his name openly. Let's not forget he loved her and was left hurt too. He became a monster in her mind due to PTSD, but I don't think he really is one, even though I know what he did, of course. I’m a victim of sexual abuse myself so I get her doubts and I can relate to her feelings. 

WIth that being said, I want to focus on art and music. I don’t feel the need to hate Marilyn Manson, however I have many doubts and questions myself.

Please stop sending death threats or mean anons to my ask box, it’s rather childish and infantile. I’m always here if you want to chat or vent. Please stay safe.
