[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never been a big fan of Chrissy's. I always found her sort of overexposed and attention-seeking. But very pretty! But kind of annoying. I read an interview with her once and I thought she seemed kind and funny, but her constant tweeting everything was weird.

I will say this new right-wing fascination with canceling her because she was mean to Courtney Stodden is just MAGAs pissed off that Chrissy didn't kowtow to Trump. Everyone made fun of Courtney Stodden ten years ago. I was in college at the time and she was a running gag for Halloween party costumes and "inside jokes." Also even Anderson Cooper made fun of her on his show![/quote]

Yes…everybody made fun of that girl. She was everybody’s punching bag. Some these people who are so outraged by what Chrissy did probably shared some those jokes.

I don’t care with Chrissy makes a comeback or not, i have no idea what that even means; but generally speaking in there anyone who is worthy of redemption?[/quote]
This. And I know people will swear it’s not true but it was also popular for edgelords on the internet to tweet or meme “kill yourself” I was relatively young and online during this period. The reason these tweets made no splash at the time is that they weren’t out of the norm. It’s bad by today’s standards but sometimes people forget how quickly internet culture changes. [/quote]

I don’t care either way about Teigen but I was very online during that era and managed to never make fun of Courtney Stodden (or Britney or any of the young women who got treated this way) nor did I ever tell anyone to kill themselves.

I get people make mistakes and should have a chance to correct them, but I think you should start by recognizing that “internet edge lords were doing it” isn’t really the convincing argument you think. Anyone who can get swept up in that kind of behavior could do it again. Sure, right now the online ethos is kinder and more self-aware. But what if it turns nasty again.

You have to demonstrate actual judgment.[/quote]
Do you think context is useful when evaluating people’s actions? I do. [/quote]
