What happened is Madisen was attacking Jathan shippers on Twitter for saying stuff like "Jathan FTW" They stood up for themselves. Some took it too far and resorted to personal attacks against Madisen. Madisen got Nathan involved and he blocked like 30 people for bullying. One or two of them probably deserved it. Most of them just said stuff like they like Jathan or something. Nathan wrote that he was taking a stand against verbal/emotional abuse against his girlfriend. Normally I would admire a celebrity taking a stand against bullying. There's 2 problems with this explanation. First, Madisen was just as much to blame as the worst Jathan shippers. There's proof she attacked Jathan shippers. People have screen shots. Everyone agrees those DM's are real. But Nathan automatically decided they were fake. He refuses to recognize that Madisen is just as much at fault as anyone else. When "takes a stand" against some bullys (his loyal fans) and not others (Madisen), he just looks like a hypocrite. The other problem is the people who were blocked were not being bullys with the exception of one or two of them. Nathan lost the respect of alot of his fans (who got him where he is today btw) when he blocked those people. Many of them will not follow him again even if he unblocks them. Madisen caused a problem, one or two Jathan shippers made it worse, and then the problem became a huge deal when Nathan blocked all those people, at least 90% of which did not deserve it. When he says he personally checked to make sure they were being bullys, he included in his definition of bullying alot things that don't fall into that catagory. He screwed up big time and some of the damgae he caused is irreversable.
