A defence to JMo, Lana, Adam H. and SQ shippers and why Michael C. did a big mistake

posted by BellaLovett

So probably you've heard about this drama that happened on twitter, and it really really hurts me to see people being sympathetic to Michael Coleman like he was the victim and JMo and Adam were hard on him because he was misquoted

So I'm writing this so people don't judge quickly on JMo, Lana, Adam and SQ shippers

Here's the what happened :

First of all, a girl tweeted Michael asking him of his opinion about SQ, so he started with her this whole offensive discussion, saying SQ isn't gonna happen and us SQ shippers should stop shipping it 'cause it doesn't even exist that us SQ shippers are just a group of fans who want something that nobody else wants including the cast and the creators.
What makes it worse is that he didn't only speak for himself, he also spoke on behalf of the creators and the cast(Lana and Jen specially). claiming that he knows what the creators are up to and SQ isn't gonna happen, and that us SQ shippers are rude and hateful and we're the only fandom that's even been discussed negatively door the cast, and it is noticed door Lana and JMo "It's funny how rude the #SnowQueen fans have become. It's noticed door all cast. Jen & Lana included. Doesn't look good on you." (I know he used the hashtag Snow Queen but it was a typo and he corrected it later)

What hurts now is that Michael is playing the role of the innocent victim and he was misquoted and he's the one who's been bullied, and some people think that the SQ shippers have attacked him and Adam and JMo were hard on him while the very fact he is a big fat coward hypocrite, he deleted all his offensive tweets, but unfortunately for him the fans have screen captured his tweets (Some parts of the conversation is below)

Honestly if Michael was really attacked door some SQ shippers I'd say he has every right to lash out at them, BUT he wasn't !
First, It was unfair of him to generalize the SQ fans as rude fans (I as a SQ shipper and I know this fandom very well, the majority are so respectful). And let's be honest, in every fandom there are some rude fans, of is it just in the SQ fandom ?! How is that possible ! u have no idea how much hateful, disrespectful commentaren SQ shippers receive door some rude non-SQ shippers, why is it always we get the blame ?

Second, it was a big big big mistake of him to say that Jen and Lana think negatively of their fans, and JMo has every right to be pissed off (So don't tell me she was a bit harsh of nasty towards him because she's not, if I were a celebrity and someone tells a group of my fans that I don't like them of I think negatively of them I'd do meer than what JMo did)

Now who's the one who's bullying ? Who's the one who's attacking ? How terrible it feels to be told that you're not liked door the cast that u idolize and love and having a member of this very cast tell u that ? And having a member of this cast turns every hope u have for your fandom while this toon is all about having hope

I'm so thankful to Adam, Lana and JMo that they took it seriously, specially Adam, he was so supportive and handled the situation perfectly. The SQ fans needed that support because they were deeply heartbroken

As for Michael Coleman, he just lost all my respect

Now it's up to u to judge and see who's the one who was bullying and spreading hate, if u don't think MC was wrong and still think he was misunderstood, then I don't know what's your definition of hate/bullying

Evilregal14 That's what I'm like with Jennifer lol. Meghan said she will be back anyway, hopefully she wasn't left behind! ^

zanhar1 I don't [i]hate[/i] him, I just don't agree with what he did. And as Bella said, I'm just disappointed.

merdziiikaa I'm really siding with Jennifer, Lana and Adam on this matter. I even stopped following Michael cause he was really out of line and Jen's anger was totally justified. I would be also pissed off if someone was saying things like that in my name. I also love and ship SwanQueen (though not my OTP) and was also hurt by his comments. Lana was trying to be sweet but in reality I think she was also quite offended (every person would be). Jennifer was just getting out what she felt on Twitter and because she worded her justified anger publicly she's now getting hate? I have even more respect for her that she was so open with he fandom. I've noticed that she even stopped following Michael Coleman.

merdziiikaa And why is everyone saying that he deleted his tweets. I can still see them. Am I the only one? O.o

Evilregal14 I actually unfollowed Jennifer, lost so much respect for her I don't even know about this woman anymore. So mad at her. I can still see some tweets too.^

BellaLovett Yeah you guys have a creepy super power of seeing the deleted twitter pages omg O.o ! Because twitter says the page doesn't exist And btw merdziiikaa I 100% agree with what you've said above And Evilregal14 I shall change your opinion on JMo if it is the last thing I do, lol jk you're free with your opinions X3

Evilregal14 Yep XD

merdziiikaa @BelleLovett Yes, sorry the link changes when I try to paste it here. Let me try it with spaces. Just remove the spaces from the link then. :) https: // twitter.com / 1MichaelColeman / status / 413892458603229184

BellaLovett ^ It worked, the page's opened *thumbs up*

merdziiikaa ^ Glad to hear it. :)

zanhar1 [i]I also love and ship SwanQueen (though not my OTP) and was also hurt by his comments. Lana was trying to be sweet but in reality I think she was also quite offended (every person would be). [/i] Took the words right out of my mouth.

Evilregal14 Well at least even if Lana was offended she kept it to herself like a good person would do. At least she will probably talk to him face to face or through text rather than on a social networking site. Lana has been the only smart one in this situation.

Diamond_Queen @BellaLovett, @zanhar1, @merdziiikaa, I completely agree with you guys:) I don't have twitter so I only know about all this thanks to fanpop. I think Micheal was way out of line, especially saying stuff about the cast members. He was hurtful and rude to SQ shippers. We're just as good as other fans! Plus, I don't think he was honest at all (I still think SQ is a bit on purpose lol) Jen even said on an occasion that she loved all SQ, SF and CS: "I get asked about SwanQueen, I get asked about CaptainSwan & I get asked about SwanFire. But what I'd say about all of them is that. I just think they’re all awesome. I think every combination of putting the characters together is awesome...and if you guys're watching & seeing yourselves in it, projecting yourself into it & projecting what you wish for onto it then great, that’s awesome. I feel like then we’re doing our job,that warms my heart, that makes me so happy." <3 (posted on the Regina and Emma spot by LLheart ^.^) Lana and Adam were the ones who truly handled this well even if I bet they were still bothered by all this. I think Jen had every right to do what she did, though. I would be angry too.The most mature thing you can do in this situation is being discrete like Lana, yes, but Jen stood up for her fans and for herself so that position is okay too. I am a SQ shipper too, not a die-hard one or anything, cuz I ship them both with other people as well, but I still love them together. I completely get the fans' position even if I think they shouldn't have kept fighting; that just makes it worse. Question: What does Ginny have to do with this? I've heard her name mentioned a few times here. Did she get hated on by someone or something like that? (hope not, I love her! :/) Sorry, this is all a little confusing since I don't have twitter haha.

zanhar1 I actually heard about it though tumblr lol. Ginny wasn't involved with this one. A while back though a handful of SQers sent her death threats for not liking SQ. This was embarrassing for the fandom as a whole. And a good number of us apologized to her on their behalf.

merdziiikaa ^ There are also some people pretending to be SQ shippers and sending them hate tweets. At least I've heard that some are doing that. Makes me sick.. They should just stick to their ships and leave the rest alone. Ship and let ship is my motto. xD Also I've noticed that Michael finally DID delete the tweets. :) A little too late, huh? I wonder if he lost his job cause it doesn't say Happy in his bio anymore. :/

zanhar1 Oh I've heard of that too. And that's just annoying, deliberately trying to make a fandom look bad just to mess with them. Hmm...that's not good, I mean in a way he deserved what JMo said to him, but I don't think it should have cost him is job.

Diamond_Queen @zanhar1, @merdziiikaa, thanks for clearing it up:) OMG sending death threats, that's insane and horrible. Wow, and pretending to be crazy SQ shippers is just so low. And what?? He's not Happy anyomre? I wonder if he was fired or if he quit. Either of these are a little too much even if he was totally out of line.

BellaLovett ^ I think if he got fired then he must've done something worse than just offending the fans, the producers aren't stupid to fire an actor just for being out of line .. I dunno and I don't care to be honest :P

zanhar1 No problem. I know right, people are nuts lol!

Diamond_Queen ^^Probably. It would be strange otherwise :P ^lol they really are!

merdziiikaa Well, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing only 6 dwarves in the future. Never really noticed the dwarves that much apart from Grumpy. xD But yeah it would be kind of weird for firing him just for that reason. Like BellaLovett said he maybe did something worse. I'm just glad all this drama is over. :)

minervadawn I don't know think I'm getting the full story here. From what I see he was asked a question and he responded well at first. He should of stopped at "you guys are welcome to ship what you like... but its not gonna happen." but for some reason her response hit a nerve. I'm not sure why it seemed really respectful to me. She basically said "we can always hope". Still we can't know what kind of comments he had had in the past and perhaps this was the last straw. He overreacted and should have know better particularly as the fans are essentially who pay his paycheck. Would you say that to your boss? I don't think so. If you look at it without bias though, it should have just blown over. perhaps a apology could have been made and that would have been it. I feel like i'm missing the second half of the story. Do you has a screenshot of Adam, JMo and Lana's response? I feel like they had the right to clarify if they felt they were being misrepresented (which they clearly were) but how did they handle it?

BellaLovett ^ They did clarify, this is [url=https://twitter.com/LanaParrilla/status/414078895067901952]Lana's[/url] tweet, this is [url=https://twitter.com/AdamHorowitzLA/status/414064091963998208]Adam's[/url] (Adam had also replied to a good amount of fans), and these are [url=http://24.media.tumblr.com/747e1296532d9aa770dedb8b6cf52316/tumblr_my5sg5XCcg1r0p41do1_500.jpg]JMo's[/url] tweets

minervadawn ^ Alright, I do agree that they dealt with it in a very professional manner and I don't know why anyone would say otherwise. I do think that this was blow out of proportion however and I feel bad that Jen had to deal with the mess that resulted from it. Still I think an apology is in order if Michael wishes to keep his job. As an actor and public figure you just don't have the same privilege that as others do to make mistakes like that.

zanhar1 @minervadawn that's pretty much how it went. I feel a bit of sympathy for him as I don't think this was extreme enough to cause him to get fired or whatever. And I do agree that an apology would have helped from both sides. I also agree that this was blown out of proportion (much like the Gina fans vs antis thing--like actors like fandom). That's also a good point though; he's a professional actor, there should be a bit more self-censorship in place, and for that reason he almost bought it on himself.

Ships

posted by Evilregal14

Okay so I'm going to clear up what I think about certain ships on this show.

SWANFIRE:
In my opinion, the best couple on the show. They have some things in common and have such good chemistry. They admitted they love each other in 2x21 and that's enough to prove their love. He was willing to fall through the portal so she could stay with Henry.

CAPTAIN SWAN:
Okay, so I really don't understand this Captain zwaan-, zwaan shit. They don't have any chemistry, she betrayed him on the beanstalk, knocked him out after he stabbed Gold, pushed his (broken) ribs and punched him in 2x09. So where is the love there?...
