I kinda think people can learn from their mistakes, but that change usually don't happen overnight as it usually takes self-reflection, adjustment and/or conversation.
At the same time, living in the age of social media, people want/expect instant action (like in this topic people are already calling ban on Deluxe as a whole for not giving a comment in 24 hours), but then again the apologies can seem dishonest or contrived.
But to quote the Schaaf chromeball interview "And even if they were given a second chance to simply not be such an asshole… and they still can’t get out of their own way? Screw ‘em if they can’t figure it out by now." So if you are doubling down on your hateful shit even after you've been given a chance to own up to your mistakes... there's no coming back from that.
I saw few other industry connected skaters had posted about this on their instagram, like Big Nakie had the Skankiee story with edited captions, so that's good.
