Don’t even know what it’s about yet
EDIT: I know what it’s about now. My mother is very proud
Apologizing after the angry mob let’s you know you’re wrong doesn’t mean shit. That’s just PR.
okay then how do you think apologies should work. they should be made before finding out people are upset by something you’ve done?
It should happen at an early stage, when presented with wrong doing and you’ve had a moment to reflect then you recognize bad behavior and apologize.
Instead of waiting for it to threaten your commercial interests then apologizing.
It’s just so fucking easy to have the “correct” opinions on things if you wait for the direction of community opinion to be firmly established, which summarizes basically his entire career if we are being honest about it.
His apology would have been meaningful if it happened before outrage in the community threatened to eject him from his privileged position within it.
Do you think apology’s are meaningful when they only come after intense backlash or do you think that’s called covering your ass like a coward?
Social pressure is how we impose correct behavior on people.
For independent creators, social pressure and financial pressure are identical. There is no lag between the two during which he could have met your timeline for apologizing.
