STOP BRYANSTARS


STOP BRYANSTARS
The Issue
Bryan Stars was once known for his comedic and lighthearted interviews with alternative bands. He was different from other people in the scene, which was one of the reasons many people loved what he did, but something about him has changed for the worse.
Many have noticed that Bryan has not uploaded an interview in months, instead he has been contributing to a channel called "My Digital Escape." MDE is populated by modern-day "scene kids," all of which are aged 18 and under.
On their own, they're fine, but it's Bryan that rubs so many people the wrong way. Bryan is 25 years old, and lives with fellow MDE member Johnnie Guilbert, who only recently turned 18. The fact that who Bryan associates with has gone from bands his age to fans of those bands who are 7+ years younger than him is...well, concerning, especially considering that a few of them are minors.
As I previously said, My Digital Escape is targeted towards younger fans of alternative music. Generally speaking, this means girls aged 12-16. In order to appeal to this very young audience, Bryan's Twitter is full of stolen Tumblr posts and band memes. He tweets about not wanting to go to school, how "hot" certain band members are, and other similar things that young fans can clearly relate to, even though he himself is 25 years old. Although this in itself is uncomfortable to watch, the most upsetting things that he tweets involve something that rubs me the wrong way entirely: making light of mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression.
Basically I fuckin hate this guy. If you do to, sign this. And hopefully he can stop making videos taking advantage of vulnerable teens and can get out of his emo phase at the age 25.
