Don’t even know what it’s about yet

EDIT: I know what it’s about now. My mother is very proud

    It should happen at an early stage, when presented with wrong doing and you’ve had a moment to reflect then you recognize bad behavior and apologize.

    Instead of waiting for it to threaten your commercial interests then apologizing.

    It’s just so fucking easy to have the “correct” opinions on things if you wait for the direction of community opinion to be firmly established, which summarizes basically his entire career if we are being honest about it.

    His apology would have been meaningful if it happened before outrage in the community threatened to eject him from his privileged position within it.

    Do you think apology’s are meaningful when they only come after intense backlash or do you think that’s called covering your ass like a coward?

      Social pressure is how we impose correct behavior on people.

      For independent creators, social pressure and financial pressure are identical. There is no lag between the two during which he could have met your timeline for apologizing.

        There was lag there was indeed lag. The apology took a while. His cancelling began and only with the financial threat did he have his change of heart, you’re wrong to assert that the issue was not brought to his attention before the financial threat emerged. Straight up not true.

        And I mean fuck that abstraction. It was not merely imposing correct behavior like a simple rule. It was regarding his use of power to protect a friend accused of sexual assault.

        That’s not some minor issue requiring rectification. That’s a red line.

          By your post, it seems like it was sexual harassment, not assault.

          He seemed sincere to me in the initial DMs (even if his instincts were wrong) and in the apology. It's enough for me; it's not enough for you.
