About this Build Poi situation
This entire situation took an extremely tragic turn. And everyone who harped about morals and justice are making memes . I don't have a high sense of morality but I honestly don't think that this is something to rejoice about. Now so many things have come to light after this whole situation. So many lives are being ruined. Poi, Build , the kids who posted slanderous comments, all their lives have been ruined. Now that Poi is the defendant in the case most people who wanted to destroy Build don't care anymore. Because now that Build has left BOC , there's 'no point in fighting for justice.' The sheer irony of this all.
Now people are coming forward and apologizing to Build for spreading fake allegations. And all who have publicly apologized until now are underage. There's even a 12 year old apologizing. These are children. But now they have obtained criminal records even before they became 18. And they are being dragged all around social media for what they have done.
Poi's plaigarism allegations against Build have been debunked and now ,it seems as if she hasn't even filed a lawsuit against him. Now she has become the Defendant of this case. The charges against her are criminal charges and if undisputed she will definitely get a criminal record. This has even gone to the Thai national media and now her reputation is also in ruins. People are making fun of her contradictory tweets and openly mocking her.
People are making fun of all these people involved. Some hate Build for his tweets,other hate Poi and those convicted children for their actions and now all of them are being dragged to hell and back.
Even though I sided with Build and disliked Poi no one truly won here.
Apo's own fans turned against him and flung racist, homophobic comments at him all because of a filter.
Regardless of what we feel about them, these are all real people who are involved.To make fun of their lives ,to joke at their expense isn't a morally superior thing to do.
What's the point in talking about 'justice', 'morals' and 'victims' if we dump the case the moment the tide turns?
I honestly had concrete beliefs too. I didn't even knowthat there was something called 'imperfect victims' until this case happened. I didn't realize that we have to give a voice to the victim ,(no matter how imperfect they are) first. That was my mistake.
Everyone who made documentations and discussions about it has abandoned it . People mocked Build for crying and now they are mocking Poi for what's happening to her. It's very clear that Poi needs medical intervention.
If Poi can be considered an imperfect victim so Build. If Build is innocent until proven guilty so is Poi.
This entire thing has become a nightmare .With more and more lives being ruined. The court of Public opinion is an extremely ruthless place and we all are a part of it.
What all these people have done might be inexcusable in someone's book but this situation should have been approached in a more humane way.
The court of Law forgives but The court of public opinion never does .The same people who stand by you will abandon you in a second.
There's one thing common in all these people involved ,they have all become social outcasts. We have pushed them out of society with no remorse.Because all of us ,from both sides decided to hate each other and drag all these people to hell.
Most of us just needed a scapegoat to hate .Now that Build seems to be the victim, Build has been replaced by Poi and the other people involved .
We all tried to force all these people to be picture perfect and when they don't fulfill it we get angry.
Build,Poi and everyone involved will have to live with this until they die. There's no escape for them.
At the end of the day everyone including me were complicit in spreading hatred and anger and dividing ourselves and expelling all these people.
I should have looked at this case in a humane manner ,but I failed to do so. We can find their actions inexcusable but they are inevitably paying for everything that they have done.
Degrading ,mocking ,rejoicing about their downfall is not the way to go in my opinion.But then again how can I talk about morality when I myself am not a good person?
This actually showed me that people truly don't care about things like justice and the victim .They will care only care if it affects them. That's the reality and human nature. They will discard the person the moment the victim becomes the defendant.
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow,but I can accept it when I am wrong.
Poi,Build and the other 3 kids are a product of their society. Their experiences would have shaped them to take all those decisions that they took. They are all imperfect. They are all human.We don't care about the real issue here.
But people can't be imperfect right?
Everyone has to be perfect right?It's easy to mock them right?
It's easy to ignore these problems right?
Build's tears are crocodile tears because he's a devil and not human enough to cry, am I right?
Poi shouldn't be sympathized with because she is crazy and delusional right ?
Those children and their parents should be shamed and mocked because they committed crimes right ?
It's easy ignore their struggles and not care because they no longer matter to us right?
We only need them as scapegoats just to hate them right ?
It's fun to see them dragged to hell right?
Degrading them, Dehumanizing them , sensationalizing this whole situation,dropping them when we can no longer seem to care , Ignoring how they feel because they are wrong feels good right ?
Let's not give them a voice because they are monsters right?
Their feelings don't matter anymore because we hate them right ?
How we failed them all. It took me a long while to accept this all but this is the bitter reality .And I was complicit in it as well. So I am no better .
Initially this was made under a meme about Build's resignation but now I made my own post about it. People shouldn't make memes out of the destruction of a person's life no matter how much you hate them.
