Grown-Ups Need to STOP Gaslighting Their Kids
I remember when I was a kid, my grandma and other parental figures would say "Oh, that nice Philip Schofield, he's much nicer than the other guy [who replaced him]. He's such a well-spoken/well-mannered presenter" etc. These same people (well except my grandma who's been dead for over 20 years) are now the people demonising Schofield because he's an 'evil' homosexual who left his wife and had a relationship with a much younger man.
NO! This SHIT has to stop. The media, grown-ups, and other authority figures need to START BEING CONSISTENT and STOP turning heroes into zeroes. You CAN'T keep saying X is a good guy, and offering them up as a role-model/popular celebrity one minute, and then turn around and cancel them the next. That's a BETRAYAL and causes confusion and cognitive dissonance in the rest of us.
LOYALTY, even heard of the *fucking* word?!? π This cancel culture BULLSHIT needs to STOP. It's very VERY difficult for people to change their minds, especially in relation to the things/people they grew up with. Like the expression goes: SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT. In other words, either stick with X, or don't give us X to begin with. But DON'T give us X and then say "No, no. X is bad!" That approach is just BULLSHIT and an act of betrayal.
Make your fucking mind up, stick to it, and if you change your mind SHUT THE FUCK UP. π
