One thing I wish people on this site would do is check things out before blindly reblogging stuff (this isn’t directed at any one post or person, I’ve seen it so much in the last few months and I’m just so tired).
Yeah, that person may have said something nasty or awful in that post, but when was it made? Is it recent or was it years ago? Have they since apologized for their mistake? Have they changed? Are they making an effort to be better?
So often I see those ProblematicTM posts reblogged and naturally everyone will be condemning the OP for their horrible views, yet if you take a few seconds to look at that person’s blog, you’ll see that the post is like 8 years old and the person has actively changed their behaviour and they are doing better. But nope, let’s all keep on reblogging those posts without checking and spreading the original post and thus leading to people going out of their way to send hate to the OP over something they have since apologized for. If you want to still reblog because a counter point to the post was good and informative, maybe try reblogging a version which acknowledges that the post is old or ill-informed - there will almost always be one in the notes.
Yes the OP may have been a horrible person in the past, but they don’t deserve to be abused for something they have changed over. We can’t beg people to educate themselves and change, but then continue to condemn them over old attitudes when they do change.
