if you're talking about slurs, no, sorry), but being 12-14 is not an excuse.

NAYRT, but this is nuts. You wouldn't forgive someone for using a racial slur when they were twelve? Even if they'd apologized for using the word back then, never used slurs as an adult, and had become supportive of POC rights and racial activism?

JFC, that's fucked up, dude.

12 is not 5. 12 year olds are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.

I mean, I'm not going to send them angry emails or anything, but am I going to buy their music or merchandise or concert tickets (since you mentioned pop stars)? No.

I didn't act that way at 12. Just because it's common, and there are apparently a bunch of 12 year olds running around who don't know how to act, doesn't mean it's acceptable. Like I said, if I could grow up in the environment that I did and still never say of any those words in my life then I don't see why it's so unreasonable to expect other people to also not say them. Did I go around using gay as an insult when everyone around me did in middle school? No, because I knew it was wrong. Being a decent person IS NOT DIFFICULT, I don't know why that's such a hard concept for some people to understand.

Neither did I. I've never used a slur (that I'm aware of) in my life. That's really not the point. Brain development is the point.

Do you also believe teenage kids should be punished as adults under the law? Because that's how you're coming across here. Like, no quarter given. Fuck their developing brains and their tenuous ethical comprehension and the fact that they probably have racist parents.

One slur and you're irredeemable.

Like I said, that's fucked up dude.

No, I'm not talking about the law. The thread was about "cancel culture", about choosing to boycott certain people/things based on things they've said or done.

All I'm saying is that I'm not giving money to people who have said/done awful things.

Nothing happens to them, because other people don't care about that kind of thing and still give them plenty of money, while I'm the one getting yelled at for being "fucked up".

My point was that people need to stop whining about "cancel culture" and realize that people are allowed to not give money to certain people/companies that they have moral objections to.

That's it. It has nothing to do with saying anyone should be punished under the law or anything like that.

Not above anon.

Man, for an example, how many LGBT+ people were homophobic/transphobic because of internalized shit they were projecting outwards? How many people were just quoting whatever problematic media they watched without even realizing the consequences or implications of it?

People like you are the reason why cancel culture is so fucked up.

ayrt

What I don't get is why people like you get SO FUCKING UPSET that I choose not to give my money to those people. People have the right to financially support/not financially support whoever they want to/don't want to, for whatever reason they want, but when that reason is based on their morals, some people get so bent out of shape and I don't understand why.

Since this is "fucked up" in your opinion, what do you suggest? That everyone be forced to give money to people who say/do bigoted shit? There's no fucking logic in what you're saying.
