I saw the whole scandal on Twitter. I think that Mark Pellegrino is attacked because of his ideas and the way he thinks and I also think those are coordinated attacks. I care less about Mark Pellegrino as an actor (even though I saw him in some of his roles and he is a very good actor) and more about his social and political speeches and ideas. He is an intelligent, interesting and decent human being. I never had the chance to talk to him face to face about certain things, and I might never have that chance, but I sure as hell would love to. He has a lot of support- that is a sign that many people appreciate him, which is a good thing. Mark Pellegrino, if you read this... keep fighting! You do a great job. Respect.
Mark, the drama and hostility I have suddenly discovered exists in this fandom, that I thought was a safe space, has been deeply disappointing. I have to believe that those of us who want a mutually supportive and positive experience for fans and actors alike can love this back into shape. I am grateful that you have taken this tack. I know the high road isn’t always the easy road, and it seems unfair to have to take abuse without defending yourself, but when there are muck rakers among us, engaging with them at their level just gets everyone mucked up. If anyone was sincerely offended by some interaction with you or with anyone, there are mature, responsible ways to address and resolve it that can heal the matter for everyone concerned and don’t foster hate. That anyone would choose drama and hate over the integrity of the SPN Family saddens me. I am very pleased you are rising above.
I always enjoy Marks twitter debates because he approaches so much of what he does from a point of intelligence and respect. even though i might not agree with some of his true Capitalism ideas, Ive never found him to be rude or hostile. Very sorry he went through such an experience. We all have said things we wish we hadnt. Nobody is perfect. Thats what makes us human. The fact that we keep trying every day to be better person than the one we were before.
Watching how hard you are working to apologize to people is breaking my heart. You are a great man and many wise people have said social media is a blessing and a curse. You say one wrong thing and stuff like this happens. But we has fans forget that you are human, you are just like us and we need to remember that. Jared told me over a year ago that the only thing that separated him from me was his career, that he is just a guy. He is human. I think it's time for Supernatural to realize that over the last few years a rift has grown and now there are two main factions: the Supernatural Family and the Supernatural Fandom. It saddens me to say it, but after recent events it has become extremely clear. Family is going to disagree, but family is going to find a way to work it out; to find that love again. All of this has been just heartbreaking because you should not have to go to the lengths to apologize for making a mistake or saying the wrong thing in a moment of heightened emotion. You are just like us. And I don't care what people say, it doesn't matter if you have 5 followers or 12 million you have the right to speak your mind. Your not in charge of what your followers do. It's not your job to make sure that you carefully word your messages so as not to come across the wrong way or anger someone. I know you are a good man Mark and I'm sorry all of this has happened. But you should now, because a lot of the family, not the fandom, has decided to move on and forgive and forget. But you have way more supporters than you even know. Stay strong Mark and #OnlyLove
Okay I understand that I'm off topic but I think Mark is walking his dog while filming and Frankie should totally get lots of cuddles and belly rubs from all of us
Oh, hon.... I’m so sad that this was necessary. But I’m frikken proud of how you handle this all. I just wanna run over and hug you. I loved your saying about respect. That is exactly how I feel, and how I try to raise my kids. Love you so much! Biiig hugs and lots of love from Holland
Some people just need to grow up, Mark. All the bullies and troublemakers out there are only wanting their 15 minutes of fame. Let's not give it to them. They're not worth it. You just continue being you. We (your fans) all love and support you.
Sounds fair enough. Also I agree with his initial attitude and his reasoning to change it. Sadly that is the price when you are famous and tweet. Btw: Awesome Job in FAR CRY 5 (JACOB), Mark ! Your performance was the icing on the cake. I saved Jacob fot last, because you had to be the last of the three in my mind. I am glad they chose you. Hope to see you in more games. 👍🏽👌 #BestEvilActing
Yeah well now there's some idiot telling ppl to not watch Wayward Sisters episodes bc those ppl liked or didn't speak up when Jared was being "bullied" &I'm getting damned sick and tired of all this hate and Trump like behavior bc this used to be a safe loving Family space but something is very wrong!!💔
Don't know what his conflict is about because I stopped following Mark when he revealed he supports the selfish ideas put forward by Ayan Rand. She wrote and said altruism is wrong. The code of ethics her supporters believe are not good for society. They represent the antithesis of love.
