bruh. that squi//ggly//digg situation someone literally said that "they did nothing wrong cancel culture is bad" and like..... i don't agree with 'cancel culture' bc i think a lot of it is toxic and not good (like the dogpiling, doxxing, harrassment, ect. that shit is gross and doesn't help anyone) I DO believe in holding people accountable for their actions and by saying that someone "did nothing wrong" you are not holding someone accountable for their actions and by that not allowing them to grow as a person.
i do not think someone should be cancelled for the rest of their life over past mistakes and but making excuses for their behavior and everyone who supports them proceeding to say "they did nothing wrong" when they very clearly did is not good. it doesn't give them room to really think about what they have done nor a chance to show their maturity by apologizing properly and making amends to do better in the future. as i've said before, being able to be vulnerable in apologizing for your mistakes is very important despite how painful it may be. you can make excuses all you want or think people are overreacting or you could genuinely own up to your faults and people will appreciate you more as a person than you getting overly defensive and shutting ppl out bc they criticize you. esp bc some people who are criticizing you are doing so in order for you to do better. yeah, it will be painful and won't pass overnight but taking the first steps to be the bigger person will help in working things out.
and by squi//ggly not owning up to her faults where they lie, it doesn't look good at all. esp bc she's victimizing herself to the point that she thinks she was cancelled solely over her, albiet, bad) criticism of lilo and stitch as well as her "having a parler" account which if you really look at why people are upset, is not the sole reasons at all. and for her to further tack on that the m/s/a crew cut ties with her just "because she was cancelled" just further proves that she doesn't find fault in her actions at all and wants to pull a "pity me" card bc she's, unfortunately, facing the consequences for her behavior. and i feel like people's love for her work is really clouding their judgment of her behavior because even though you may love someone dearly, it is important for you to let them know when they have made a mistake and for you to hold them accountable for their actions when they royally fuck up. you can support them so they can improve, but don't just sweep their actions under the rug so easily just because they are a talented creator or you feel bad that people seem to be against them.
