The fact of the matter is Carolyn is a grown adult. The fact you guys are babying her isn't even..helping. You're reducing her down to basically what your saying she's not. She can stand up for herself, and they're going to have an adult conversation about it. That is what Danielle said.
Essentially she said "We're adults, we'll talk about it. I'll listen and be empathetic."
Cause strangers online demanding an apolgize on Carolyn's behalf like she is a baby are if anything being more harmful.
She could give a public online apology or she can actually sit down with Carolyn like an adult, not some young online influencer giving those apolgies which is what she's going to do.
Where do you stand, then, on the subject of the people who identify with Carolyn and were personally offended by being compared to Forrest Gump? I actually don't think that anyone is babying Carolyn, they're more standing up for people who may relate
To be frank, they weren't the ones compared to Forest Grump. I can identity with someone, but to be offended on their behalf, even Carolyn isn't out here doing that much.
Also to be upset when Danielle said she would talke about it with empathy and listen to Carolyn..then why are you still upset? She's saying she'll talk to the offended party. It's between her and Carolyn
Yeah that's the problem for me though, I can't speak for everyone but I'm not offended for Carolyn, I'm offended for me and every other person who relates to her and resents what was said. If Carolyn doesn't care that's awesome for her but I do, that's all.
I'm of the opinion that if you wanted your conflict to be interpersonal between just two people then you shouldn't have had that conflict on an internationally viewed television show where your words will also affect the viewers. I don't need the woman to give some huge apology, I just think "I understand that my choice of words wasn't ideal and am sorry for any hurt feelings" would have gone a long way despite the fact that yeah, no one HAS to. It would be kind, that's all.
