LOL good lord, this one's exceptionally bad. So many have already flayed this with all the wisdom, but I'm gonna take my bitch gloves off extra dramatically and pick it apart. I want to offer all the best remaining parts of what was once my brain to explain why this is 1) not an apology and 2) going to make things much much worse, and very quickly
FIRSTLY:
When you turn off comments on your own post, but feel so obligated to preempt the flood of vacuous Heart Emojis that you make your caption, and I quote, a Green Heart Emoji .... I'll let that one stand for itself.
SECONDLY:
"These past few years I have used extremely poor judgment" is a fatal opening remark. It is an abdication of responsibility, just as deliberate as the STDs that he spread. In other words, he is deliberately avoiding apology just as deliberately as he spread STDs to sexual partners without their informed consent. It was not a matter of poor judgement. It was a matter of purposefully doing reprehensible things. No apology starts with a deflection. To abdicate the severity and purposefulness of your abuse at the head of your apology, is to not make an apology.
THIRDLY:
"From this moment forward, I'm standing up for what's right" is just as much proof as the fact that he spread STDs to sexual partners without their informed consent that he neither gives a fuck nor thinks of anyone but himself. When you deflect your abuse and avoid an apology, the only route you can take is to pretend like this is a moment to prove to the world that you are top notch. To him, this is not his moment to apologize and accept accountability for what he's done; it's his moment to deflect an apology and avoid accountability by making this whole fucking nightmare that HE caused about his wounded pride. When you're more concerned with your brand, image, status in a community of people who don't care about rape & abuse, how could you be led to think any differently? But I digress.
FOURTHLY:
"My heart weighs heavy towards the damage that I've caused" no, No it doesn't. If it did, you wouldn't make a masturbatory public apology on your clout profile. You would go directly to the people you've wronged and ask them what you can do to make it right. And they would rightly tell you that you're a piece of fucking shit. And if they wanted to deal with you at all, they would let you know what they need. And if they didn't want to deal with you - who would? - you would recognize that this IS NOT about your pride, and talking emptily about how much this affects you is not only ridiculous but violently false.
FIFTHLY:
"I must pay it forward (etc.)" Bitch, pay What forward? No one has rewarded you with anything that you can pay forward! There is absolutely nothing to pay forward here. To make a Non-Apology on a public forum that is biased to Worship you for whatever you do, to avoid accountability by defining this crisis You've cause as a moment to repair your pride, to Lie that this affects you and to Gaslight your victims by manipulating your followers into thinking this is something that bothers you deeply - these are all bad enough. But, to really put Shit Icing on the Shit Cake, you wrap it all up with a whole mess of things that are IRRELEVANT. Cool, you're getting help (probably not), keep that shit to YOURSELF now is neither the time nor the place. And giving your funds to Orgs? What orgs? Run by Whom? Giving their resources to What community?! That is horse shit first off and second off is proof that this to you is about Looking the part of sorry, but doing NOTHING to be sorry - doing nothing to provide help and consolation and Accountability to the people you've actually hurt.
You'd rather fucking appease your fan base than take what you've done seriously, and for that I resent both You and anybody Like you, anybody who's done Things like you've done - you're All the same monster.
So my brain has obviously degenerated in the course of typing this all up, and now I'm pretty much rambling. But I mean everything I've said, and I hope someone brighter than I am can tactfully summarize these points the next time some fucking shmuck thinks its his time to non-apology and make his abusive behavior about Manhood Redemption. Oh fucking Brother.
Ink&Images you fucking rule and we are here for You! You're hilarious & brilliant and courageous and so full of life. Please never lose that fire that you carry; believe in yourself forever, we will see this shit through!
P.S.
I'm too zapped to read and revise this giant flood of emotion, so please bear with me, and (to quote David Crosby to Lionel Hutz) know I love you.
