Maybe it& #39;s best you delete this tweet and others like it, then make an apology.

Saying this to someone who is rightfully criticizing you regarding your "jokes" about child grooming and someone who themselves was a victim of grooming... Not only is it bad optics, it& #39;s disgusting. https://twitter.com/ClaireMCorlett/status/1330615531645198336">https://twitter.com/ClaireMCo...

And by making an apology, what I *don& #39;t* mean is sending a set of half-assed DMs or making a half-assed... whatever this is. https://twitter.com/ClaireMCorlett/status/1330757211979595782">https://twitter.com/ClaireMCo...

Please. Don& #39;t shrug and move on. Don& #39;t brush this situation off like it& #39;s nothing. Take the time to educate yourself, to fully understand why people were upset at and hurt by your comments. Make proper apologies to those you hurt, and pledge never to make those mistakes again.

As things stand, not only are those comments absolutely appalling to victims of child grooming, they& #39;re giant red flags hovering over your head. People will see those red flags, and they& #39;ll lose any and all respect they had for you.

I know I& #39;m one of those people.

And those who& #39;re looking to work with you on their project or have you at their con or whatever might see them, feel the same way, then turn their backs and walk away.

And if you& #39;re at this point in this thread and are okay with the things Claire and BG said...

...or otherwise don& #39;t care, I don& #39;t know what to say other than you can do better, too.

Sorry. This situation, though I had no involvement in it until now, touched a strong nerve if only because of Claire& #39;s (and BG& #39;s) lack of empathy. Maybe it& #39;s best they join my block list...

...because something tells me they won& #39;t change in that regard. I really hope I& #39;m wrong, but regardless, hopefully I& #39;ve raised some awareness of this situation.

At the end of the day, I& #39;m not mad. I& #39;m just disappointed.

And I think I& #39;ve spoken enough about this.
