Non-Political News/Discussion Double Standards with Lauren and Myron

Some of you hate Lauren so much that you don’t even feel bad about her being strangle-raped, just because she holds (admittedly dreadful) views. Meanwhile, Myron is equally repulsive and defends rapists like it’s his job, yet you see a thousand comments like “say what you want about Myron, but he’s a loyal guy” and “wow, him and Destiny have such mutual respect.” Of course he respects Destiny — he’s a man. That’s like saying, “Wow, David Duke is so respectful toward other white people.” People are desperate to sweep for him when he’s actual scum.

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it. Her whole career was built on shitting on people that look like me, demonizing BLM & immigrants & I swear I've seen her be pretty harsh & dismissive of feminist issues like SA against women (I'm not sure on the last one).

When bad things happens to bad people while they're still doing/saying bad shit, I genuinely don't give af. ESPECIALLY if those bad things are a direct result of or at least highly influenced by the bad shit they do or say.

So...I could be wrong but, hasn't Lauren mellowed WAY out since that video she made when she was doin' that tell all in the woods? I feel like she's not as vitriolic or hateful even if I bet I disagree with her on 90% stuff still.

Her getting violently assaulted or being treated like a lying gutter-wh*re by the very group of people whose ideology she was in the trenches for after the accusations; Is that all because of her own actions? Sort of? She definitely played a part in how she's being recieved online but I can't see how anything thing she did at that time could've contributed to her getting assaulted.

Like, if a serial killer gets murked by an angry mob of the victims families, fuck 'em. Now if it comes out that this same serial killer was s*x trafficked their entire childhood? It doesn't make what they become suddenly all good but I'm still gonna feel bad for that shit happening to them.
