Based on the latest Backgrid pap photos of Timothée in LA on 6/29/24, and the fandom's reaction to those images, I am officially declaring that the Timothée Chalamet fandom is on life support and I'm going to distance myself from it. Club Chalamet was created in early 2018 because I was alienated by the younger fans and I needed to carve out a place for a fan of my age and maturity to enjoy chatting with others about Timmy and his career. But with the gossip of the past year, there has been a locust invasion infusion of people who are fans of a person who has been associated PR-wise with Timmy, and they have contaminated the Chalamet fandom. That's the best word I can think of, 'contaminated'. Also, so-called actual "fans" of Timmy have been leaving the fandom and have announced that they are no longer fans of his because of his personal dating life. if you are going to stop supporting Timothée because of his personal life, you were never fan in the first place because your support of him is based on conditions that you want him to adhere to. But he's a grown adult and he makes the decisions he makes on his own accord and we have to deal with it. We may not like or agree with those decisions, but he's still a good human being with talent worthy of celebrating.
I've had to block way too many people in the past several months and it is what it is. But today, I'm going to distance myself from the overall fandom, and just continue to do what I do best with Club Chalamet, and that is to be supportive of Timothée and focus on his career. I will continue to make comments about public appearances related to his personal life because it is public news, and to pretend to ignore it will be to ignore a popular news story and allow a certain media narrative be amplified in the media unchecked. If TPTB wants to continue to fan the flames of this situation, as a fan, I'll be there to give a cheeky side eye, and move along focusing on his career. I can be both: a super positive fan of Timothée Chalamet, and a fan who questions gossip news that has caused so much harm to the fandom that I have been a part of for nearly 7 years.
Club Chalamet is here to stay, but I no longer feel any affiliation with the larger Timmy fandom.
