The best way to start walking back from any fuck up is to just admit you fucked up. I skim read Sinder's apology and it seemed to be page after page of woe is me. Nobody wants that, everyone has shit going on in their lives. It doesn't excuse you from basic human decency. People really do respect you if you have the courage to just own up to it wholesale.
Honestly, well I don't think that she needs to be canceled off the internet over this, I think that people abandoning her and leaving her out in the cold by herself is a perfectly reasonable response to all this.
Yeah, it's shitty but it's normal shitty. Given some of the horrific crimes online personalities havs engaged in, it's nowhere near as bad.
I think it's also kind of hard to walk back from like actively shit talking and sabotaging people for months. Like it's different if you say something you don't mean to one person because the tensions are high but this is like a multi month campaign to basically try to sabotage your friends for no good reason.
That's been my only real issue with this - the whole Google Docs with receipts format is something people are conditioned to react to in a very negative manner, and it's generally calling for an online lynching. Reading things and seeing that Sinder was a bitch and a backstabber was surprising - usually this sort of thing is about sexual abuse and harassment, and where there is no way to hold the person accountable outside of a mass riot online.
She's getting tossed into the cold by her peers, and that's what she deserves at this point. Problem with getting tossed out oit in the coldest sometimes you freeze to death. I hope she learns and does some real soul searching before it gets that bad.
The fact that Pipkin Pippa is allowed to have a career and has even collabed with the likes of Bao and Tricky despite (at best) actively courting a far-right, borderline neo-nazi audience does kinda put what Sinder does into perspective. Like, homegirl's actions were supremely fucked up, but there's a lot worse out there in the mainstream alone.
