To anyone else coming to my profile “They” demand that he "needs to be held accountable for his words," completely ignoring the reality that Skizz already did exactly that.
@MintyToast2228@SkizzleArchive i understand people process grief differently but straight up ableism in front of two giant live audiences and your disabled friends isn't 'dark humor' that's insensitive. and don't say 'he didn't know' he is a grown man and needs te be held accountable for his words.
@Jimbo_Dandy_@b_overmi2002 Maybe, I won’t make any definitive statements. But I think based purely on what’s publicly available (and without the threat of the mob) they would.
@holydxlls In his initial apology, he literally sat down, acknowledged how his dark humor hurt people out of context, expressed "gut-wrenching shame," and stated he wouldn't let it happen again. Why are you simply refusing to acknowledge that this reflection already took place.
@b_overmi2002 Honestly Geminitay is so based for holding firm boundaries and calling out the fandom as being weirdos (separate context but directly tangential). Because they ARE. People are so used to being able to do whatever they want and in their echo-chambers frame it as always justified.
@Sunni_bee_ Not that you’d find it relevant but Skizz is disabled.
You don’t have to accept his apology but that’s not on him. Spreading misinformation and contributing to a harassment campaign is the antithesis of allyship and undoing insensitive wrongs towards a community.
@sweetiecola1 Secondly, it doesn't actually help vulnerable communities or solve real-world problems; it just strokes the ego of the people doing the bullying and makes them feel powerful.
@sweetiecola1 This is explicitly parasocial. CC’s don’t owe their audience a 24/7 activism plug. They have the autonomy to make that decision should they choose to make it part of their platform. When it’s forced or performative who is that helping? Whose platform IS it?
Some people become so invested in their negative perception of you that they can’t accept anything that contradicts it. Seeing the opposite of what they think of you makes them resent you even more 😭
@1amgoingtosleep Guilt until proven innocent is abhorrent. Everyone needs to log off for the week and think about exactly what they’re saying before they regret it. The internet is forever.

@1amgoingtosleep It’s the complete opposite. I have found maybe… two posts outright defending Skizz without reading the whole topic. Even then the comments that do show up like that, they get deleted.

W/ that said using purity/loyalty tests are also bad. Forcing creators to either join the dogpile or become the next target… just yikes!! 😬
@Kittyl0vezu@tra1nzzz You clearly aren’t part of it,
& I believe you have good intent.
But the amount of people telling Skizz (and those simply trying to condemn the misinformation) to… let’s just say… hurt … themselves tells me a lot about how accountability is dealt with in the 2020s. It’s bad.
