This thread is moving so fast!!!
hello to the recent newbies - great first posts. I think
@icryincoffee shows exactly what is happening right now. People were welcoming at the start and it is the continual bad behaviour that eventually we can't pretend we aren't seeing that turns people against these two.
Re: the "what about Andrew" arguments. I agree with the poster who said its being used because they've run out of defences for Meghan.
But also - Andrew is not in my face all the media all the time. He isn't currently releasing statements about how he cares passionately and deeply about the plight of victims of sexual assault victims whilst at the same time hanging around with some pretty dodgy characters who may or may not have been involved or complicit in perpetrating that behaviour (plus whatever he did or didn't do himself). He's not lecturing me on climate change whilst jetting off in private planes and driving range rovers.
The reason Meghan attracts this criticism is the bare faced hypocrisy of stating that you support this that and the other and 'kindness' and then bullying other people, treading all over others and using people for your own gain and blatantly behaving in ways which are opposite to what you put out there. Its her own attempts to control her narrative and "her truth" which are so obviously removed from "the truth" (credit to the thread newbie a few pages back for an excellent way of putting it).
Basically I guess I'm saying its fine to be a bad person, or an unpleasant person or whatever. Be who you want to be. You can even pretend you're nicer than you are (I usually do) but its not OK to absolutely ram your own narrative down the throats of the world when it very obviously doesn't line up with how you actually behave or think and to then call racism or bullying just because those people don't agree with you. And that is why she/they provoke this response from people. Basically - don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining!
If I could ignore them I very very happily would, but they are making it super super hard to do that.
