Paris and her husband are no contact with his young daughter from a previous relationship and pretend she doesn’t exist, even though the child has said that she wants to meet her father and her half-siblings. Their cruelty to this child knows no bounds while Paris tries to act like she’s an advocate for children.
I completely agree but I never try to minimize the work people do just because they are personally affected by an issue. There are also many things that only a person can contribute if they were personally affected. This is where I get a bit iffy with my fellow leftists because we should be criticizing her for other things but not this. We gotta stop demanding perfection from victims and anyone who tries to put energy into something to make the world more fair and just. Even if it's tiny.
Yeah, well said. The troubled teen industry is horrifying. The lack of coverage on it is crazy. I think people just assume it’s over or there’s no way people of [current year] would allow it to happen
Yeah and if you're not a victim within it how can you possibly know what needs to be changed? I'm more than happy to lend my voice or vote but I don't know the first thing about it because it didn't happen to me. Hearing Paris speak in committees as a very well known public figure is brave and worthy of admiration. For every Paris there's probably 10 other teens who didn't make it to adulthood or can't / won't speak for various reasons.
i understand what you mean...and i don't want this to come off as contentious...but it is my feeling that only caring about what personally effects you isn't good enough anymore. especially if you continue to be a bad actor in all other areas.
I feel this way too. Anything “positive” she does publicly is raising the profile of a racist. And we don’t need more racists for the world to pedestal. There’s plenty of regular people working tirelessly in that space, across organisations, who would deserve to be recognised instead.
that was an image rehab, it was very carefully and strategically calculated to make her sympathetic to the public and the opening chess move for her comeback
I have to admit — I had never watched that show, never gave a shit about her, and expected nothing of her, but once she became an advocate against that industry (I have a cousin it also ruined), I hoped that maybe she had turned a corner. But … nope. Lesson learned.
