I love the mcelboys and am glad they apologized but

You can’t praise them for listening to their fans and being compassionate and handling criticism so well and in the same breath condemn anyone who criticizes them!

They would not have the brand and the fanbase that they do if no one ever criticized them!

They’ve never been anything but grateful and courteous in response to people’s pointing out the flaws in their work so to turn around and go “oh I’m so sorry all the sjws are bullying you” at them every time this happens, and to try to shield them like this, and intimidate and shame people who speak up, is frankly insulting!

They’re grown men, who should be able to take criticism, and guess what? They can and do!

To act as if Griffin and the rest of the McElroy family need to be “defended” from people who are only trying to help them make their content even better and more inclusive, even people who are hurt and angry but still take the time to make their feelings known! Is ridiculous, and missing the point entirely. They’ve built their entire image around being kind people who care about their impact, and listen to criticism, and when you demonize people who bring these things to their attention, you’re obstructing that process at best, and part of the problem at worst.
