Just FYI Antdude was also defending Jirard for a while until he finally started doing damage control and tried to pass off some previous statements with context that wasn't there when he posted. I'm not saying he wasn't affected by this too but I don't think Antdude is that good a guy either.
Is it important that the offender be able to satiate the public with an apology?
Him doing everything he could to stick his head in the sand and stand y his friend when it came to what Jirard did was indeed bad. It should probably lend more weight to his words here if he's willing to give friends such a big benefit of the doubt but just can't when it comes to Emile.
No, it's not important, but at that point it's like, what do you want them to say? Clearly if they say nothing, they'll be criticized, and if they do, their words would be picked apart no matter what. Of course I agree the correction is more important than the apology. From your post it makes it sound like you believe it would be better not to publicly apologize at all, but I don't think the public would accept that either.
No, I'm not saying that he shouldn't apologize at all. I'm saying what it is that I actually said. I don't think it's important that he be able to satiate the public.
Antdude was trying to navigate a situation that he did not have the full details on. A lot of people were in Antdude's shoes of giving the benefit of the doubt, before full evidence started coming up. What's important is that when all of information did come out, he stated disassociating.
Depends on what you mean by "talk about shoes and feet", I guess. There's been no mention of any physical escalation or anything like that, but at this point more than one woman has mentioned that he attempted to pressure them into fetishized foot roleplay, he seems to have gotten shoe pictures from multiple fans and sent Emily shoes as a pretext to pressuring her for them, and so on.
I was more bothered by his excuse of why he said what he did when Jirard's first response came out like he hadn't watched it and that it proved everything about Jirard was wrong and then backtracked after the fact and tried to add other context. As far as i know he didn't rectify that and his apology came across as an excuse for that tweet. That specifically is what makes his response sound like damage control instead of actually reflecting on his relationship with Jirard and made EVERYTHING seem insincere to me.
Sorry that wasn't my intent, yes this is going off topic, i just didn't want he himself being put up on a pedestal as a standard. His statement is still valid.
Pretty wild to think when he played fast and loose with the "private conversation" he had with Lady Emily.
A bit off topic but wow I've not thought of Lucahjin in many years, and even just remembered watching KPopp years ago around the same time period.
I am glad Masae came forward too!
There are a lot of things that makes you a shitty person that are not illegal.
Sorry but this is a horrible stance to take. It's not a competition and sexual harassment should be shunned entirely even if it's not physical harm.
off topic but, whew! How is it whenever I see you posting, it's just the worst takes possible?
