Carter Reynolds- and all men of social media.
If you are unaware of the recent situation that includes the “vine star” Carter Reynolds, I will quickly update you. Last October, Carter being either 18 or 19, pressures his 16 year old girlfriend to give him oral sex on video. The video leaked about a month or so ago- and the response’s were angry. Many feminists, including myself and Orion Carloto, tried to speak to Carter about his misunderstanding of what he has done. Before Carter even came to rescue himself, fans were defending him, victim blaming his ex girlfriend, Maggie. They were convinced nothing was wrong with the video, that Maggie shouldn’t have been intoxicated, that it’s okay because the two were in a relationship. The disgusting comments filled social media until Carter ultimately posted an “apology” that was far from sincere, using his relationship with Maggie as a shield. Carter faced harsh comments are reactions from social media, all well deserved. Since the video leaked, Carter has posted subtweets constantly, more likely about his ex girlfriend.
This went on. They were mean, then they became a call for pity. He was manipulating her through his use of his twitter account that is followed by 2 MILLION people. Last night, (7/18/15) Carter went on a rampage of pity-like tweets about how much he cared about a particular someone, and eventually just @ ed his ex girlfriend, Maggie, saying he cares and loves her. Though he ultimately deleted the tweet. The next morning, I would assume, many Carter “stans” began to harass Maggie and tweet about how Carter just loves her “so much” and she finally replied. She said that Carter was doing it all to make himself look good, and he had recently told her he was going to ruin her life. She replied to many tweets, which are now deleted, but you can probably find on twitter. Quickly notified, Carter started a YOUNOW (live video broadcast) in which he told his thousands of fans about his ex-girlfriends past sexual life. He also stated she OWES him respect because he “made” her. Near the end of this younow he got a text from his ex girlfriend saying that she’s called the cops on him. He received a call, muted his fans, and began to cry. He soon ended the younow by saying he “heard something he didn’t want to hear.” That was the end.
UPDATED 11:38 7/19/2015 Carter tweeted “maggie is saying i’m the reason why she’s in the hospital….lol nah you you’re just crazy and psychotic. fuck you..” After sending his ex girlfriend, Maggie, to the hospital. He then continued to tweet to two million followers, as maggie is in the hospital, that he wants to kill himself. Keep in mind one of the steps in an abusive relationship is threatening suicide once you have been confronted about your abuse. This man, Carter Reynolds, needs help.
Let this be a message to all men on social media who hold a place of power over young women. These actions, are in no way, okay. What you are doing, not only hurts the victims, but every single girl who looks up to you. In Carter’s situation, he has fully brainwashed girls into thinking that what he is doing is “love.” Love is not harassment, love is not pressuring and manipulating. Each and every girl who looks up to Carter Reynolds are now convinced this is another scenario of “boys will be boys.” Each and every girl who looks up to Carter Reynolds are now convinced that there is always a way to blame the victim of any form of sexual abuse, that if a girl is drinking too much, dating someone, or dressed a certain way, she is asking for a man to abuse her. If any of these Carter Reynold fans finds them in a situation of sexual harassment, it is likely they will blame themselves, too. You can’t be angry at these girls. They look up to these men, though it may seem ridiculous, some of these social media stars have made girls happy, given them something to bond over with other girls, to look forward too. And this responsibility is usually abused and ruined by men who don’t care about the people who cherish them.You can only feel sorry, and try to help those who have been manipulated.
Carter Reynolds has successfully brainwashed the minds of thousands of girls. Not only has he hurt and harassed a beautiful 16 year old girl, but he has gotten his fans to try and hurt her too. Carter Reynolds is a 19 year old who refuses to take a hold of the situation, he is clearly so full of himself he doesn’t think that anything he has ever done is wrong. His tweets on social media are filled with victim blamed, sexual slurs, and overall ignorant comments. He encourages young girls to pity him and victim blame, and you can see that through the tweets he favorites and the young girls freaking out because he took two seconds of his time to favorite it. The truth of all of this is, beware of men on the internet. They can be toxic, empty and disgusting. Stay safe at all costs.
If anyone who supports Carter Reynolds is reading this, please take a moment to understand this: you are a human being. You deserve to be treated with respect. You deserve to spend your time caring about a man who cares about you. Please, do not convince yourself that sexual harassment is equivalent to love. These youtubers, viners, and people of social media, they’re just people. You are just as important as they are. Sometimes, these people, don’t care about you, they want to use you for sexual things, and that is not okay. You deserve someone better. If Carter Reynolds has brought you happiness, its okay, but it’s time to find happiness in yourself. You do not need him to be happy.
Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?
me, decomposing on my bed: sending you all good vibes :)

I was just about to write a huge paragraph about how sad I feel right now, but then I realized "who the fuck cares? no one can fix it. just keep it to yourself and let it consume you. let's see how long you survive."
