Dear people with their "people still support Shane" bs yes I do here is why:

People who use unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with trauma are NOT bad people. They& #39;re doing what they need to do to survive the day. I& #39;ve used humor & other unhealthy coping mechanisms. (1/9)
You clearly don& #39;t care about sa survivors when you& #39;re blatantly bullying one. You& #39;re causing victims to feel shame making it harder for them to get help. Not to mention worsening a trauma by constantly triggering someone by using the p word. (2/9)
Supporting Shane doesn& #39;t mean I& #39;m invalidating you if you felt hurt by his inappropriate jokes. He& #39;s made jokes that have seriously hurt me. I know he regrets those jokes. I know he wouldn& #39;t have ever made them if he knew how badly they would hurt people. (3/9)
He never did anything with malicious intent. He isn& #39;t that scared insecure person going for shock value & joking about his traumas to make them less painful anymore. He has matured.
He has changed. (4/9)
Shane has done so much for so many people. He is the first person to help anybody who needs it. His actions now show he is a good person with an amazing heart. He made mistakes. We all make mistakes. We all learn & evolve. He shows us our mistakes don& #39;t define us. (5/9)
Realizing who you do and don& #39;t want to be is an important part of growing up. If you have to go years back to find something it shows the person has changed. (6/9)
I support the person who makes me feel less alone. I suppprt the person who helped me stop feeling ashamed of my BDD/ED. I support the person whose books saved my life. I support the person who made me realize I needed to go into treatment for my eating disorder. (7/9)
I support the person who showed me it& #39;s okay to ask for help. I support the person whose words help me everyday in my recovery. I support the person who helps me keep fighting when life gets tough. I support the person whose videos & music help me through my panic attacks. (8/9)
I support the person who makes me laugh when I need it most. I support soneone who would do anything to make someone& #39;s day better. I support someone with the kindest heart. I support Shane Lee Yaw. #istandwithshane (9/ 9)
