It's something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they've made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn't seem true to me, or I think they're genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn't being considered.

What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?

I don't know what you are smoking. But you need to stop. For your own good.

You're trying to go into this massive tangent away from the topic and I'm just not going to follow.

I've already told you clearly what I mean and what I don't mean. I'm not going to argue with you about how you personally percieve something. I'm sorry you feel that way.

I love ice cream, but I would never order a banana split. So that means I judge those that do? That I see myself above those that like banana split? The answer is no. I just don't like banana split. You do you. Each to their own. Whatever floats your boat.

There is a reason you are saying each thing you are saying. Saying 'but I would never order a banana split' in this context has a different subtext than if you said it after watching someone else order one. I won't re-explain it, because I was fairly clear, but yes, saying 'I would never' is an inherently judgemental negation of the supposedly non-judgemental 'you do you.' It is trying to claim both the stance of 'I don't judge,' and 'I am judging.' It is a lie, either to the listener or to yourself.

I don't like liars, but I try to give people a chance to realize their mistake, if it is one, by explaining their error. After that, I have to assume idiocy or ill will. Whichever it is, goodbye.

I'm still not going to argue with you about how you percieve the phrase "you do you". And why you so desperately want to double down on that tangent is beyond me.

It's a new level of arrogance trying to tell me what I mean when I say "you do you". When i already explained what I mean with it after your initial confusion.

You got 2 brain cells, both fighting for third place. God bless and good luck.
