Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[kruddler]

We do not apply the pressure to Darcy, she cares nothing of your opinion, my opinion, or any of the thousands of fans, etc., etc...  Our opinions carry no weight within Darcy's frame of reference and apply next to no pressure either individually or accumulatively.

She cares about family, friends and close associates. The bulk of the pressure comes from close peers, some may come from close friends and family, but typically not much as they will love / care for Darcy unconditionally.

My first-hand experience in this issue is that the bulk of the pressure comes from politically / socially aligned peers, who do want to make a big issue of it one way or the other. They are happy or even ecstatic for Darcy to sacrifice herself on the public alter to further their own cause.

Point is, its bigger than Darcy.
Refusing to 'play along' with Darcy's requests is a slap in the face for others who may not be as fortunate as Darcy to have such a close knit and supportive group.

Your first hand issue has been discussed previously, and from what i can gather it is very much in the minority and is clouding your views on the matter.

That can be seen from your reaction earlier in the thread...

I'm dead against people who continually message and lecture me publicly about not wanting to be labelled / categorised coming out and demanding I refer to them by a label.

Now from the video, which was shot in late October, until when this thread was started off the back of THE tweet, there has been literally no mention of it.
So the 'continual, lecturing, demanding' side of things is coming from something other than this issue re Darcy.

So again, think of the bigger picture.
Darcy might be leading the way, but thats only the tip of the iceberg, 90% of which we will never see.
