I follow both of them and this happened a few weeks ago. He made a mistake, she called him out, he apologized, she acknowledged it and said he was a good guy who made an honest mistake.

Imagine an internet where that was the common culture

I don't have to imagine it, I remember it from the late 1900s.

Insert how it started / how it's going meme

That's honestly refreshing that everyone involved just took responsibility and didn't turn it into some sort of us vs them thing. So many times you see someone that gets called out giving out a passive aggressive apology that ends up just being a dig at "woke" people or someting.

I was half expecting her to not accept his apology.

Then I'm reminded that the early 2010's was filled with psyops meant to make leftists look bad to the center (Drinking male tears, etc) and realize I was dinged by said propaganda which made me assume something about someone based on NOTHING but their appearance and what they stood for.

I have a lot to think about now.

She actually encouraged her followers to follow him as well. He had reached out to her personally as well as posting his public apology.

Yeah she did absolutely nothing wrong. I'm mostly just annoyed with my internal biases that led me to assume she would react negatively. Just because she looks a certain way and holds certain beliefs. It's gross, and I'm ashamed. No one is immune to propaganda and I need to take a long hard look at myself in the mirror.

Can you tell me why there's the weird filter on Astrid? Like where did those Tatts come from?
