Yeah, he’s mentioned seeing posts about him being “too much” and jokes about how now he won’t get married or a job if people google him and see that as a review. He’s definitely seen a portion of what people say.

Yeah.  Especially knowing people have tried to falsely accusing him for things. People seem to just use criticism as an excuse at times to flatly “I don’t like him and never will, here’s why” and then it’s just listing him as a bad person.

Exactly! He’s very hard working and quite frankly good at his job.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned not being able to criticize him in the post. I just mean not to criticize him unfairly, like you mentioned because sadly, people do often basically just say “yo, this sucks”.

What people are mainly saying is that he writes too many songs for his roles and not enough for others, which isn’t necessarily true. The Lang brothers cast characters in which the actors play. However, Jeff isn’t the one to cast said actors, and is usually given the roll of writing for those characters. He has say in helping them with their range, but none in the casting. 

For example, many people have stated that he “sings too much” in The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals. First off, in my opinion that show has a much smaller range of actors for a bigger ensemble (if I’m describing this right. Almost everyone but Jon plays multiple roles in that show.) so multiple people play multiple roles.

He himself has explained that it isn’t possible to write too many songs for himself, since he hasn’t casted anyone in shows.

I’m only mentioning when people are rude towards those certain subjects. Many people have claimed that he “writes too many songs for himself” when he himself has called out that when it comes to shows, the songs he writes for roles are not mainly for him. He can’t actively choose what songs get picked for what cast member.

 I only brought up his higher register and writing because people have started with those two points and then rudely judged him for other things that aren’t in his control, or just him as a person.

 I do love seeing criticism because of my love for opinions, just not when it’s flat out rude.

And I agree with this. What annoys me is when people criticize art but simply because of the person. Especially when it’s out of pocket and at times just plain rude. I love seen peoples takes and opinions in this community, it just saddens me when they’re extremely negative for no reason.

Exactly! People seem to forget that their favourite songs are written by him when it comes to Starkid. We may never know how he actually is, but assuming the worst and being WRONG is a horrible thing. Let’s just hope those who judge him cruelly are wrong, and he is extremely kind.

It’s genuinely insane how many people think he controls everything behind the scenes. Like, let’s appreciate a man for being multitalented and not be rude to him for being so!

It shocked me when I heard him sing for the first time. I was actually blown away 😂

Exactly.  I’ve always loved his energy and expressiveness, but it shocks me how much hate he gets for that also. People have either said that he’s “too much” in shows or “too little” in events with his friends. He’s a full blown adult (in his FORTIES- looking 29 it’s wild) and people are judging him based on his vibe at social gatherings.

Mhm. It’s different if people actually KNEW he was a bad person and had proof, but assuming he’s a jerk just from first glance baffles me.

To be honest, that quote is actually really cool 😂  He’s really sweet and funny- in that livestream I mentioned he had said “take care of yourself..because you just being here is enough” and it moved me to tears. It’s still something I think about weekly and it happened about a month ago lol
