my thoughts on what tubbo said as someone who is in multiple marginalized groups (thread)
i think a lot of ccs have a huge misunderstanding when it comes to being called out and being held accountable. "cancel culture" isn& #39;t real, shitty ppl almost never face adequate consequences no matter how badly they deserve to be deplatformed.
what IS real are the minorities/marginalized ppl who ask for apologies. you can& #39;t brush away someone& #39;s ignorant past as a "slight mistake." if a non black cc has said the n word on the internet, you can& #39;t just say "the past is the past" and move on.
marginalized ppl are NOT a stepping stool for your self growth. if you were racist, homophobic, islamophobic, or misogynistic you are not normal and your shitty past isn& #39;t something you can say "everyone has made mistakes" about.
there will always be toxic ppl (who weren& #39;t affected) on the internet who will weaponize someone& #39;s shitty past to take them down because they dislike them, and obviously speak over those who were affected. but to dismiss EVERYONE asking you to apologize isn& #39;t the way to go.
the intent of the person who found the old tweets will never outweight the impact of said tweets. a cis person finding old tweets to try to cancel a youtuber will never be worse than the transphobia in said tweets. focusing on the intent takes away from the ppl who were hurt +
and moves the conversation away from those affected and towards the discussion of cancel culture.
last point. if you have a shitty past and only try to hide it while never showing your growth, don& #39;t be mad when ppl are angry. you once chose to be ignorant publicly, but haven& #39;t +

chosen to publicly and actively work against said ignorance.
