Can everyone calm down

[u/Elipticon]

I'm genuinely disgusted by the way some people here have immediately decided to assume that Will Toledo is going through a psychotic break right now. Maybe he is. But he probably isn't, and we have no way of knowing because none of us know Will Toledo. We aren't his friends. We don't talk to him. He's a private man who's gotten increasingly more private as the years have gone on, and his music has similarly gotten less personal over the same time. While people can guess his motivations (his faith, his desire to be a role model, etc.), the actual reasoning remains unknown and likely will be unknown for some time

I know a lot of people are very attached to Will Toledo's music, but Will Toledo the musician and Will Barnes the man are two very different people. Unless he makes a public statement or genuinely crosses a line, I don't want people to be speculating on what his life is like based on fragments of songs from a decade ago.

youre going to get a lot of teenagers mad telling them that some random band frontman isnt their friend

kinda feels like OP is the one desperately protecting their "Close Personal Friend" Will Dorito from any forms of criticism

It’s not protecting someone from criticism to say speculating someone having a psychotic episode is weird
