Literally putting words in my mouth, not appreciated.
No I wasn't, I was asking you a question. I asked "are you...", I didn't say "you said this". Which was a perfectly valid question to ask given the context of your post.
I would appreciate it if you read my posts properly before replying.
Relax, I'm not rationalizing his behavior or making excuses for what he did. I'm trying to have a discussion about how/when society should forgive people who are accused of similar awful things. I agree with your suggestion that he use his platform to speak about the terrible things he did and support his victims. I think there are a great many things he could be doing to prove to the public that he's a changed man but that specific thing should be mandatory.
Sorry, but I'm tired of people like yourself coming into this conversation and not reading the thread and asking the same thing that's been asked and answered a few dozen times already.
Your question is a tired one itself, too. Facts:
1. Indecent exposure carries a potential prison term if convicted.
2. He was not punished in any way by the law because he's rich and powerful (and white)
3. He made a statement saying he gets it and is listening.
4. He hid for a bit.
5. He comes back, via secret shows, to applause, without even attempting to address the elephant in the room.
Your initial question was "what would be acceptable in terms of amendment?"
The answer: any kind of actual amendment that proves he actually understand the harm his abuse caused, not only to his specific victims but victims of abuse the world over.
Now, you might feel like I'm unfairly attacking you here, but you approached this from a very insensitive position by asking "what would be acceptable in terms of making amends" when he clearly hasn't even bothered to do anything.
