@doctorhazeleyes Update my partner watched the episode with me and when they hugged he’s like “do you think they’ll be together” I can’t even. I said “no don’t even start”
The reality of being a fan is that your support isn't always seen, acknowledged, or rewarded. But you continue because your appreciation for that person's talent and journey is real. ❤️
i find it ironic when the young women that are bullying people and acting like children online are also the ones begging older women to date them. i know older women would not go near you with a ten foot pole. news flash: older women want emotional maturity
So I'm probably going to be off X for the rest of the night because watching my timeline fill up with people acting like calling out bad behavior was somehow the real problem is honestly weirding me out. Yes, it's good that she apologized. People make mistakes, and owning up to them matters, but this is being taken way too far.
The people who pointed out that the original post was unfair, mean-spirited, and could have real consequences for a journalist's career were not wrong for doing so. Accountability isn't bullying. Criticism isn't hate. Sometimes people we admire mess up, and it's okay to say so.
At the same time, some of the reactions on the other side have been completely out of line. Nobody deserves death threats, harassment, or cruelty because they were rude, had a bad moment, or made a mistake online. Please, for the love of God, stop saying things like that.
There has to be room between "she did absolutely nothing wrong" and "she's a terrible person who deserves to suffer." People are allowed to mess up, be called out, apologize, and learn from it. That's how accountability is supposed to work. Supporting someone doesn't have to mean telling them they did nothing wrong. Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is acknowledge that they messed up, appreciate the apology, and move forward.
There’s something profoundly human about wanting the person who helped you become yourself to look at you and say:
“I see you. I’m glad you’re here. I’m proud of who you’ve become.”
Not because you need their permission to exist, but because they mattered to you.
