Why and what I am sorry for and how I am working to fix it.
Thread- not for attention but to make sure I'm not missing any of my mistakes.
I accidentally made my last thread one only I could reply to(?) but will leave this one open for criticism and/or feedback:

Im also sorry in advance for spelling mistakes and mean no disrespect by them. I have dyslexia and to non dyslexics it can seem like I'm purposefully making mistakes as they as simple, but my brain doesn't find it simple.
For 2-3 weeks a had in drafts, adding facespo as I found it, because I found facespo hard to find.

Locals found this and I realised to the non ED community I had implied thin, (and in reflection, white/eurocentric), faces were best. I tried to clarify here: https://twitter.com/PhatFobic/status/1309958643929018370?s=19
As many pointed out in quote rts (I'd somehow turned off commenting when posting- possibly as it was an accident) that there was no dark skin facespo, and only 4(?) POC.
These comments were and are valid:

After this, I made the mistake of trying to explain that dark skin thinspo is hard to find, which was not a good enough excuse nor an excuse at all.
As another user pointed out I SHOULD have googled "black supermodels" if I couldn't find the representation on twt search.

After this I was torn, deservedly so.
I asked one user who had objected if it would be better to continue the thread with dark skin facespo or if that would be pandering at this point.
This user told me it would be best to at least add the representation deserved.

Here is "evidence" incase anyone thinks I fabricated this or was pandering:

I started adding dark skinned POC at this point, however it was late for me and I'd taken my (prescribed) sleeping pills so I will be continuing today. https://twitter.com/PhatFobic/status/1309958312792928256?s=19
However another user said otherwise which had/has me confused and so I apologise if acting on the first advice.

I linked these as evidence of what and where I fucked up.
Please do not be rude to anyone mention as they had every right and reason to say what they said.
To my moots who did stand-up for me, inapreciate it deeply, but if we are white it isnt our mistake to forgive.

Finally: obviously Im white and, from this post clearly not self educated enough to determine what is appropriate.
I will not ask anyone to educate me, and will continue to try to better educate myself and represent all people if I make a thread again.

If what I did is not forgivable to you I understand and respect your right to block me, you do not have to act any less than disappointed in my actions.
Thank you for reading this thread, and again, I really am sorry.
