I don't entirely disagree; I just don't think it is that odd for people that age to be VERY opinionated and say things before thinking about what they are saying or more importantly, how they are saying it. Combine that with the relatively recent inability to accept nuance these days and the desire to pile on and you get the situation she is in.
So can I, but she did have a subset of those supporters threatening her so is it all that surprising she was upset? Either way, she did apologize.
Yeah it was definitely a missed opportunity for a better approach.
People many many decades older than her are just as if not more so as opinionated and also say things without thinking.
Different time and place in history.Now step back and think....
What if Annette Funicello, in the 1960 lead up to her starring role in the release of 1961's Walt Disney's Babes in Toyland was quoted in the Los Angeles Times saying;
"May Kennedy supporters and Kennedy voters and John F. Kennedy himself never know peace."
Walt Disney was a notable supporter of Richard Nixon in the 1960 Presidential campaign, but even after Annette was forced to "apologize", I can't imagine that Walt would have ever allowed Annette Funicello to work for his studio and company ever again. Can you?
While I agree I don’t think (or at least hope) most of us have never wished ill will on others simply because we hold different opinions.
but that would be the extent of it, and the next day might like a dozen of your posts while we are on the same side of a different argument.
This gets into the “say things without thinking” category. We’ve all seen many many many people of varying ages all say things off the cuff without thinking in a moment of emotion and later regret and take it back. That incident is no different in my opinion. And I’ve seen much much much worse said over the last 4-8 years by both sides.While I agree I don’t think (or at least hope) most of us have never wished ill will on others simply because we hold different opinions.
That’s the difference for me, I can disagree with you 90% of the time but still respect your opinion and enjoy arguing with you, we could have the most heated argument ever on this forum (and send mom into palpitations and a delete frenzy) and I still wouldn’t wish ill will on you, I might mutter some names about you under my breathe
With that number there is no hope whatsoever for revival of hand drawn animation.
This is one of the primary reasons my social media consists of Facebook and the WDWMagic forums, hard to get in trouble if you aren’t venting every thought online for the whole world to see.
I was never able to find a Disney Facebook group that isn't just meme spamming. But I agree I tend to go to message boards, only keeping Twitter to get news about upcoming movies but I rarely if ever interact with anyone there. I hate that place.
Good thing there are only two 13 year old girls in the world to make that statement true.
We’re from a different generation, one before the internet and social media. We grew up as the internet was getting started and social media was founded. Her generation doesn’t know a world without social media. Whereas our generation might go have a beer and vent to a stranger at a bar, their generation uses social media to vent.
So you’ve never said anything in the heat of the moment that you later regretted? You’ve never had a slip of the tongue and said something the wrong way and taken out of context?
I think you're not getting the concept of people not caring about celebrities' social/political views. That goes both ways. I wish Gina Carano was still in The Mandalorian and still had the planned spin-off. I watch Signs because I think it's a great movie regardless of what Mel Gibson says. That's how it works.
