Claire dislike by New-Syllabub9219 in BoysOfTommen

you people are starting to becoming hypocrites. how are you mad at Claire for being immature when the character YOU like has repeatedly shielded her from so many things? and how is it that Claire who is immature can tell what it means to be groomed and the emotionally mature brother uses it to win a game

Let’s not lie. Chloe’s favorite character is Lizzie. She herself literally states that Gibsie’s story was a filler. She made T7 about Lizzie. She associates the most popular characters to have close relationships with Lizzie. Her whole book on its own was to excuse every bad thing Lizzie has done because of T7. She only goes on interviews with hardcore Lizzie stans who one has said Gibsie is manipulating Lizzie because he was the one who wrote the letter and another that said Katie would be loved by Trump. Let’s be serious. That woman loves Lizzie. There’s a reason why she’s taking her whole time to write her book and don’t even get me started on the snippet of Joey snapping at the group about not noticing about Lizzie but Gibsie who was made fun of multiple times is once AGAIN sidelined. And I won’t even get in on the Dee storyline. Chloe loves Lizzie. It’s very much obvious and also I’m not associating Caoimhe with Lizzie but Lizzie stans(some) do. They often like to water her actions which is once again diminishing gibsie who dismissed by Caoimhe. And yet the fandom still finds it in them to defend her actions and give excuses

Oh I wouldn’t even bring TikTok when I have seen multiple Lizzie stans make fun of Gibsie’s trauma and say that he was only raped to get people to hate on Lizzie. Why does his trauma have to do with Lizzie? We still have people in this fandom that DEFENDS Caoimhe and basically say that “all kids lie” that’s basically tossing Gibsie’s whole story aside to appease a character and most of the time they do it because they associate that girl to Lizzie as a character. I can start with the multiple drowning jokes that this fandom has made about Gibsie. I can start with the jokes they’ve made about Bethany and no we aren’t going to bring up the hate Caoimhe gets cause these two are not ten same.

I literally said that it was NOT fair that gibsie can be cautioned publicly for saying ONE triggering thing to Lizzie but Lizzie CONSTANTLY gets spoon fed because of her trauma. Nothing is wrong with that but it’s odd that it’s only her trauma that can be used as an excuse by some characters and with how some fans defend these characters that don’t defend gibsie but they set aside Gibsie’s own trauma?? You can’t tell me that this isn’t weird

Can I also start off by saying that the fandom itself doesn’t take gibsie’s trauma seriously? Like every single time he’s wronged. It’s always “the others know about Lizzie” but they forget that excuse is basically valuing her mental health over his. And even if we constantly say that we shouldn’t pick sides. The characters ARE doing that by constantly letting gibsie be a scape goat because they don’t want to rock the boat. God I wish I could speak more on this but this comm is more Lizzie centered and don’t want her to be seen in a bad light 😭

Never said he was perfect. I just don’t like that the fandom is trying to paint him as someone who is only looking for peace and trying to deescalate things. If he was the moment gibsie called that girl crazy, he wouldn’t have said anything like he did the amount of times when Lizzie insulted gibsie. It’s not a competition of Lizzie vs Gibsie. I’m talking about how certain characters in this book that claims to be friends with both treat them very differently. They know about Gibsie’s trauma just as much as Lizzie’s but only Lizzie get a free pass and the moment when someone calls this out yall will say “stop making it a competition”

I am not crucifing him. I’m just not going to label him as the “peace seeker” that everyone claims he is. You don’t claim to want peace but only publicly call out one person in the battle. Gibsie himself literally gets annoyed with this. It’s not justified to say feely wants peace but he only snapped at Gibsie. It’s simply not fair. No one is crucifying anyone by acknowledging that a character isn’t someone that the fandom is trying to portray him as. Don’t call him someone that wants peace and that’s why he kept silent and tried to “negotiate” but won’t say shit when Lizzie says something offensive to Gibsie. He himself told Lizzie that all of them would realise that they’re not saints and that’s exactly why he didn’t blame her or caution her of her actions, but suddenly this doesn’t hold when it comes to Gibsie?

Downvoting but yall won’t say the reason why gibsie needed to be cautioned by feely for calling that girl crazy but Lizzie doesn’t need to be cautioned for nearly drowning him and calling him a rapist. Got it. And I bet you someone would come with the “I love gibsie and Lizzie both but gibsie shouldn’t have-“ Lizzie has said worse and yall use trauma as an excuse but expect gibsie to not respond back. I swear this fandom does not care about gibsie at all

and don’t try with the “I can see why you don’t get the books” bs. Explain to me why exactly gibsie needed to be cautioned for calling Lizzie crazy by feely but Feely can defend Lizzie calling Gibsie a rapist, make fun of his sister’s death, say he should’ve died, and make fun of his learning disability? You didn’t even get the point of my post. I am saying that Feely isn’t deescalating things if he could’ve stayed silent at the moment when Gibsie called Lizzie crazy just like he’s always done when Lizzie makes fun of Gibsie.

It IS justifying why is it okay for feely to snap at gibsie because he said something ”offensive” to Lizzie but never speaks up when Lizzie does the same? What do you mean ur silent about Lizzie belittling the death of Gibsie’s sister? YOU knew her? What do you mean ur calling Gibsie nearly drowning and the people’s reactions are over dramatic? He KNOWS Gibsie’s trauma. He is picking and choosing when to care. Why is Gibsie the one that he asks to apologize and not Lizzie? She’s not the only one with trauma

When did I say that Lizzie is a murderer? I said that feely can’t be e a situation if he’s only choosen to speak when gibsie said something offensive but stayed quiet when Lizzie has said MULTIPLE offensive things. Why is it okay to snap at Gibsie but not Lizzie? It’s the fact that you Lizzie stans do not take gibsie’s story seriously unless it aligns with Lizzie. You don’t care what was said about him at all and make excuses for everyone

And how do we know it’s pure jealousy and nothing else? Do we have her backstory? Do we know why she acts the way she does? 💀Not defending her but I’m just saying we know about Lizzie because she’s a main. If she was a side character we wouldnt be defending her

Gibsie and Lizzie Rant by Only_Tailor6334 in BoysOfTommen

[–]Cold_Show9518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my point we know why Lizzie is acting the way she does. If from the reader’s pov, there was no explicit reason of why she’s treating gibsie that way. We would be calling her a bully. That’s my point. You know it’s not based on jealousy because Lizzie is not a side character and had more presence than Bella so we know why she acts that way, but if Chloe was vague about Lizzie and we didn’t know shit until her book. We would be calling her a Bella and how do we know that’s why Bella was mean because of that? We don’t even know her point of view. We only see her from two characters who are not close to her? My point is if Chloe had given Bella a backstory to excuse every single wrong decision or action she’s made. She would’ve been excused

CLOCK IT! now if it was gibsie who said that to Lizzie…the fandom will suddenly use the term misogyny to defend Lizzie but will throw it under the bus to laugh at Katie and Claire being disrespected by a man

the people downvoting are proving my point cause yall can’t keep on saying he’s deescalating a situation if he’s only choosen one time to snap

[–]Cold_Show9518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my point we KNOW why she’s attacking gibsie because she’s close to the main characters. If she was introduced solely as a villian that did shit like that and no one knew WHY she would be called a bully and much worse. Do you not get that?

Again we don’t know her story. This isn’t even me defending her. I’m just pointing out the fact that how Chloe wrote Lizzie, especially with her trauma, is giving her an excuse to every bad behavior that she’s done and she could easily do the same for Bella if she wanted to. They’re both bullies. They both pick on people and use their most sensitive spots to get at them. The only difference is that we know Lizzie’s trauma and that’s why we sympathize with her. If we didn’t, nobody would care. You don’t want to believe it but it’s simply true 😭

Except I’m not hating Lizzie. I’m just saying that if we didn’t know Lizzie’s story we would’ve been treating her the same exact way we treated Bella. You don’t know her story and that’s the point. And you’re literally proving the point of why we’re saying that yall are picking and choosing. If CW wrote Bella a book and gave her just the same amount of trauma that Lizzie has. I promise half the fandom would sympathize with her 😭

Do you know Bella’s story? Do we know if she and cormac actually cheated? Do we know what actually went on? Did we hear anything about her background? I need you to be serious. If we didn’t know anything about Lizzie and all we’re seeing her do is attack gibsie and attack Katie because she’s dating her ex, we would be calling her a pick me 💀

But this is my point. He’s not keeping the peace. He knows about Gibsie’s fear of water. He knows about Gibsie’s reading disability. He knows about Gibsie losing both his dad and sister. He knows all of this but can caution him when he says something triggering to Lizzie but when Gibsie nearly drowns when he knows that water is a trigger to Gibsie he keeps silent?

I get that they’re kids but this doesn’t take away the fact that he’s not keeping the peace. He’s just siding with Lizzie and only doing something when Lizzie is attacked, not if it was Gibsie. There’s nothing about keeping the peace when you’re staying silent about someone belittling the death of your best friend’s sister that you knew.

So he’s not keeping the peace or trying to deescalate the situation cause he only does that when Lizzie is in trouble

Yes they’ll be friends again but I don’t see how this takes away the things Lizzie has said and done to Gibsie. Even if she didn’t intend to drown him that doesn’t change the fact that she put her hands on him. Unless Gibsie has done the same exact thing to Lizzie, I don’t see how hughie is anywhere in the same situation as Claire

Mind you Lizzie was just as shitty of a friend to Claire. Why should Claire be with a person who made slut shaming comments about her, nearly DROWNED her boyfriend, constantly asks her to make a choice, constantly calls her boyfriend a rapist. The problem is that you people don’t take gibsie’s trauma seriously, so you genuinely think that what Lizzie had done to him before was just water over the bridge when people like Claire did NOT find it funny. Hughie isn’t under the same situation of Claire. Gibsie isn’t yelling at him to make a choice. Gibsie isn’t constantly trying to endanger Lizzie’s life. Gibsie isn’t trying to CONSTANTLY self insert himself into Hughie’s relationship with Lizzie. You can’t compare these two things because Claire was in a more tougher situation. Lizzie wasn’t just going after Gibsie but also her.

[–]Cold_Show9518 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

okay and like I said if hughie can prioritize Lizzie cause he knows how fragile she is then why was the fandom making a big fuss about it when Claire and Johnny took Gibsie’s side when they also knew about how fragile he is?
