if you’ve harmed someone, are truly remorseful & are ACTUALLY committed to change, you accept that might not be enough for some ppl. their hurt outweighs your remorse. if doing the work is contingent on your past being forgotten/absolved, you don’t wanna do the work https://twitter.com/CheshiKat/status/1259213877889269761
funny the MILDEST critique: “remember when this happened?” has resulted in days of ppl swarming my social media in defense of pubes 🙃if you “don’t curr” & it’s “just a joke” why are you SO UPSET i don’t like the joke? if i’m “irrelevant” why are you STILL making videos about me?
“jokes” don’t happen in a bubble. they’re reflective of our culture/times. jokes about the continued oppression & MURDER of marginalized ppl, contributes to a society that doesn’t value our lives, bodies or rights. if those are the jokes you push to millions, critique is coming
if your excuse for bigoted jokes is “freedom of speech” remember that same freedom extends to anyone that has the guts to say “that joke is racist & i don’t like it” if your world falls apart bc of critique, maybe you need some of that “thicker skin” you say everyone else needs
