Evolution of an Apology for a Consent Violation
Added 2024-03-11 14:47:10 +0000 UTCIt wasn’t me.
I didn’t do that.
Okay, so maybe I did do that. I’m sorry.
But it was your fault.
Besides, it wasn’t that bad.
Why won’t you take my apology seriously?
I’m a changed man. I went to therapy.
I’m not sorry anymore. You were lying.
This is just an ordinary internet mob going about their bullying ways.
I’m the victim. They cancelled me.
I’m sorry you got hurt, but I’m not a predator.
Okay, so maybe I did that one predatory thing but I apologised. Why are you still talking about it?
Yes, it is all about me. What’s your name again?
I only apologised to make the mob die down. It should not be taken as an admission of guilt.
Maybe it was a consent violation, but you can’t expect me to get everything right. We all make mistakes.
Just forgive me.
Like, immediately.
Your accusation has destroyed my life. (My predation is not to blame.)
I never said I was perfect.
I won’t tolerate bullying, but if any of my victims are willing to treat me with more respect than I treated them, I’m willing to discuss it.
I believe that you believe I did something wrong. That should be enough to get you to be quiet.
I'm not sorry I behaved that way. I’m sorry you feel that way.
Or not sorry.
It depends. What day is it?
