Guardian News: “‘You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ climate activist Greta Thunberg has told world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York.”
My issue with Camila's apology is that 6 years ago in 2013 a website published screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word and of problematic/racist stuff she published on her 1D stan account and she "apologized" in a tweet BUT months later she did it again and the same website called her out, this time she called Dinah Jane “ghetto fabulous,” called Barack Obama the n-word on her 1D account, and new screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word in a casual text conversation surfaced, plus this tweet:
Now, let's look at the "apology" back then:
Let's look at yesterday's apology about her tumblr posts:
Notice something? It's basically the same thing, but longer.
I think cancel culture has gotten out of control as people have both the ability and the right to grow, learn and change, and cancel culture does not allow that, but what irks me is that Camila's apology doesn't read as genuine because as you can see she repeated the same excuse disguised as an apology that she used 6 years ago and back then it wasn't long until she went back to her, and I quote, "immature and ignorant behaviour".
It’s not that Camila is necessarily a bad person or that she definitely hasn’t learned anything from her past mistakes, but as an increasingly-famous public figure, she has a responsibility to publicly acknowledge why her actions were inherently wrong and to give her fans more than an excuse. And given that she apologized shallowly before she needs to show she means it, that this is not another half-ass apology like in 2013.
Camila's albums are good and I'd like for her to show the growing she likes to talk about so much.
Disabled Person: I can’t do this.
Ableist: Yes you can. Quit using your disability as an excuse. The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Disabled Person: I can do this.
Ableist: Then you’re not really disabled. You’re just faking, which is offensive to actual disabled people.

When I was a kid, the “Oh my god, you got so big!” comment from grown-ups used to really annoy me, because it felt broadly infantilising. But now, as an adult myself, I realise it had very little to do with me, and almost everything to do with said grown-up feeling suddenly attacked by the passage of time, yet not wanting to blurt out “shit, fuck, I just pissed away like four years of my life without noticing, then, huh?” in front of an 8-year-old.
Since today's hot topic is Johnny Depp's victory in the libel suit against his ex-wife; I want to say that this is a big day, especially for male victims and survivors of DV.
No, this is not a loss in the #MeToo movement. If anything, I'd say the #MeToo movement needs to be more inclusive to male victims of abuse.
It's time that we believe all victims and survivors.
Vogue Mexico has featured a third-gender cover star for the first time. The magazine is believed to be the first in Vogue’s 120-year history to feature a ‘muxe’ model.
‘Muxes’ have been regarded as a third gender in Mexican culture for centuries. They are particular to the Zapotec community.
