Hmmm, well I guess there’s a few angles to this. First, the tweets were from nearly a decade ago. At least the ones from this thread. So I think it’s a legit question to ask…who sits there and goes back through God only knows how many Tweets from nearly a decade ago? That’s weird. It’s not like the girl was running for president and people are paid to dig up dirt. It’s really sad actually.
Two, yeah the tweets were unacceptable and no one should talk like that.
Three, to act like a huge percentage of Twitter doesn’t engage on the platform almost the exact same way is incorrect.
Four, while I don’t condone what she said, is there is statute of limitations? How far back are we going to go on people? Does it matter that she was a kid/very young adult at the time? It seems to matter in so many other situations but not here. So much of our society these days looks to give people second and third and fourth chances unless…well, unless society deems they don’t get an extra chances. Let’s leave it at that.
Five, I’m ok with dragging her through the mud. But only if everyone, no matter their race or gender or whatever is held to account under the exact same standards.
