Tyler Joseph knows that the average twenty one pilots fan is young, impressionable, and struggles with their mental health. He knows that turning this into a mental health issue with get them on his side because they’ll immediately sympathise with him. It’s really manipulative😕
On top of that, imagine the number of fans that are going to be absolutely in bits all night, fearing for his safety. He realised he’d fucked up, and instead of just apologising, he worked out how to make himself essentially ‘untouchable’, by gaslighting his disappointed fans
tw // suicide

Now nobody can critique his actions, because they’ll fear that “what if he’s being serious? what if he’s actually feeling suicidal?” And anybody who already has expressed their disappointment will be left feeling guilty for upsetting him.
And to anybody thinking “how dare you attack him for being honest about his mental health!”,
1) I’m not attacking him
And 2) He could have talked about his mental health AND apologised. This was a very deliberate decision on his part. He chose to deflect instead of saying sorry
