Savannah89 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Considering this whole Billie put his profile to private issue: We can't be 100 percent sure, if there aren't other reasons than just hate comments. Maybe he got more serious messages saying bad stuff like: BJA should die or something more serious or murder threats or whatever. Don't want to know what kind of crap some people send to him, but I'm sure he has his reasons to put his profile into a private mode. 2 hours ago, Hermione said: I mean, it might not even be related to the comments, he might just be taking a social media break or whatever. Or he might not always pay close attention to them and just have vaguely skimmed over a couple and been like, oh people are bitching in the comments I'll turn them off. Or something else. No real way of knowing why he's turned it off or his reaction to/thoughts on the comments without him saying something about it. Does he really have to justify it? As I said maybe there are other things going on we don't know about. We all know that being a fan can be a super cool and fantastic feeling but there are people that don't get the point between being a fan or being somebody really close. Just to reminds you, once there was a fan that would stalk him and his family and wanted to marry him just to care about his kids and stay with him and other cruel things I don't want to write about (I read it in some of the biographies). Regarding this issue he organized security/a private detective to protect his family. If it's just about the morrissey comments, he might take things sometimes a little bit too serious. But it's really vague to say, because as outstanding person, I don't know everything about his instagram account. I'm sure he gets really weird messages sometimes.

No he doesn't have to, I'm just saying we don't know what he thinks about the comments or why he turned it off unless he chooses to mention it. No need to imagine the worst, plenty of people just like to take a break from social media too so it could be nothing. Like you say we don't know so imo there's no point in worrying about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason he's away from Insta right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. Could be anything, but he is known for being a sensitive boy. I don't care either way. It's always good to step away from social media for awhile, regardless of the reason. It's good for well being. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Bellie Posted April 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2019 On 4/19/2019 at 8:15 PM, Beerjeezus said: I still marvel at how I was the only one who got declined Are you talking about when the Longshot account was created and quickly became private and everyone was sending requests to get in? I got declined too all the way at that time About Billie taking short breaks from Instagram or from the comments themselves, whether it's a way for him to avoid being on social media all the time, or to avoid getting into virulent discussions with people in the comments (for instance when they're stating something like "Morrissey is a racist" expecting that Billie would justify himself for collaborating with a supposed racist, which he maybe doesn't want to do), I'm in any case much more reassured that he chooses to do so rather than getting in deaf, endless, and potentially aggressive debates. What he posts on Instagram has never been an attempt to create discord and if people react themselves that way on his feed, I'm glad he chooses to stay away from it. I don't think it's indifference. In a way, he may be preserving his will to keep posting on Instagram and share stuff with us, by avoiding the atmospheres which he feels would be toxic. So I'm glad about that. He already posts more than enough for us to keep up with what he's up to, and to know he cares a big deal about us. Minding the comments doesn't make him a snowflake (even if I don't mind calling him that for joking, he deserves it but honestly a snowflake would never have dared responding to people commenting like he has in the past, showing and assuming the full extent of his sensitivity), it makes him someone who cares about what his own followers may say, and I respect that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savannah89 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Quote I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason he's away from Insta right now He's not taking a step back from social media. He just takes a break from his official account. He still spends time with his family there on his private one what I totally understand. And if I were him I would shut the official one down, so I could just interact with my family and friends As some of you say I totally agree on this point. Billie is really sensitive and I'm sure he acts really consequently when somebody or many people pass his personal border. He's a great human, really talented and I pay much respect for him and his art and work and he earns it to stay in his personal comfort zone if he wants to. If people really care for him they would stop behaving like 5 years old. Many messages I read have been really rude and creepy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
