i do not like that she changes races when it suits her or that she is a homewrecker

but at the same time i feel nothing but sympathy for everyone that had to work with that monster schiender

can't believe he is suing for defamation when it did happen

When you think about some of the events in her life (Victorious, Manchester, Mac Miller) it’s hard not to feel some kind of sympathy for her, not that it excuses her other unpalatable behaviors.

Agreed. I don’t think a person has to be the most fantastic person in order to feel some sympathy for them. Unless the person is an absolute monster, I feel like having sympathy for someone is a very normal thing.

I think we’ve gotten to a place where people often feel the need to put a disclaimer to their comments before offering sympathy so that people don’t automatically assume they endorse all of said person’s opinions or actions. Expressing sympathy for someone does not mean you excuse any bad behavior or statements and I hate that we now have to say “I don’t like this or that about someone but…” before expressing you still have sympathy for things they’ve gone through.

I’m all for calling out Ariana’s shitty behavior when discussing the matters at hand but I also don’t think it’s necessary to add that laundry list of offenses before ever offering any sympathy or compliment about something else

[daredevilwolf]

true

i'll try not to say stuff like that in the future

Oh I wasn’t digging at you at all. It’s more like we feel like sometimes we have to say that because if we don’t, people will criticize us for endorsing someone’s bad behavior if that makes sense.

I often see people expressing sympathy for someone or giving someone a nice compliment and then people comment “but what about when they did this or that” as if we can’t have any sympathy for someone or say anything nice about someone who has exhibited poor behavior in the past without being accused of supporting said behavior lol.

I’ve caught myself anticipating it sometimes and doing it too. I want to say something nice but I’m like “well I don’t like this about them but … “

I think it’s a symptom of how online discourse has gotten these days on social media lol

Yeah, I mainly wish it could be a place where it's okay to hold multiple opinions about a thing and just less presumptions are made in general

I very much agree with this comment but knew if I didn’t it’d be so I support sponge fucking or whatever list they’d have ready (not trying to be specific/seriously list them as I feel like it defeats the point of agreeing with your posts)
