    people here really hate him for something I see in the average TF2 lobby. Also to me it seems like he has taken responsibility and grown from it 🤷‍♀️

      Ivkenz I understand being mad at him for sure. It’s they staying mad at him forever that I don’t understand. People make mistakes. People change. He didn’t do anything worse than 90% of the guys I knew in highschool at some point. You grow up and you learn that behavior isn’t correct.

        Changing is insufficient. Apologizing is only sometimes sufficient.

        Sometimes to undo damage you need to actively push against the thing you did.

        You don’t just say “sorry I said the N word, that was bad”. You educate people on why it’s not ok to say and call out others who say it. You put in the effort to make things better, not just good enough.
