My stance on the Bob Bryar situation

He could've been a blorbo

he could've been another little silly guy with his bandmates

looking at art people made of him back in the day, there was definitely a chance that, had he not gone and fucked up his reputation, we would've had people down bad for him

Had he just gotten his shit together, not be an insufferable dick, not be racist or transphobic, he would've been in a better place.

I mourn not what he had become, but what could have been.

I mourn what we would have had if Bob had not spoiled his reputation.

I am certain had he not been as shit, he would very likely still be alive.

But he let himself become shit, so to Bob Bryar, I do not mourn
