That's the thing. To most people, the 27 year old who is no longer homophobic... isn't a homophobe because they're not homophobic. They did something 10 years ago that was homophobic but are no longer like that. People who were once homophobic can change and become non bigots. This is wonderful and should be encouraged.

"One strike and you're impure" though means that you say a word once and you can never get better or be a decent person, and people changing for the better doesn't get acknowledged as a good thing. If you want to never acknowledge that, go on with your pure self I guess.

I do not call myself or anyone else "pure" or "impure". Those are completely meaningless words.

Honestly, I don't know anyone who was shitty at 17 and a great person at 27. I used to give people the benefit of the doubt, but after giving people multiple chances to be better and being shown over and over and over and over again that they aren't any better...I don't really believe people honestly do change. Or if they do, it's rare enough that I've never seen it.

At this point I'm a strong believer in "when someone shows you who they are, believe them" because life is too short to put up with assholes. Maybe my view is unreasonable to you, but...I'm good with it.

If "I believe people cannot ever change" is the basis we're starting from, yeah this conversation has no purpose. Should've said that at the start and saved the effort, lol. It's good that you're good with it, because if you're not then change isn't possible, I guess? Idk, man. Hope it works out for you.

It's worked out for me so far! Luckily there are enough good people out there that there's no need to put up with the bad ones. :)
