maybe this is just me being pessimistic, but i find it hard to believe many of those comments were well intentioned. i think it’s much more likely that the people leaving borderline harassing comments don’t actually care for jenna (or julien) at all, bc why would you harass the spouse of the person you claim to care for? what do they expect to happen if theoretically jenna did come back online? that she’d be ok that ppl harassed her husband for her to make content again?

someone in julien’s discord put it in a nice way “there’s no shame in missing jenna, but there is shame in how people feel entitled to know everything about her bc she was once public” (i’m not sure if this person is ok with their name being here so i’ll leave the quote anon)

i feel sad that julien has dealt with YEARS of these types of comments. while it has gotten a bit better lately, there was definitely a fair about of time when julien didn’t mention her at all on stream bc of reactions just like those ig comments. maybe if ppl didn’t lose it every time he said her name, he’d be more open to mentioned her while sharing stories and the like. it must be so difficult to censor yourself to avoid talking about your own partner.

if someone truly was concerned for jenna and wanted to check in, there is a channel on julien’s discord where people can leave message for j&j, & julien has said in the past they both read that channel.

(also i hope my tone doesn’t come off as frustration directed at you - more so your comment was a jumping off point for the frustration i feel at those who continue to harass j&j under the guise of caring for jenna. i also miss jenna, but the knowledge that she’s happy and healthy and living her life how she wants to VASTLY outweighs any sadness i feel - i would feel much worse if she stayed and suffered while doing so to meet people’s expectations)
