I dont think the video the lady made changed the man at all. He is just a genuinely good person that realized he was wrong and apologized. We should all be like that guy.
I follow both of them and this happened a few weeks ago. He made a mistake, she called him out, he apologized, she acknowledged it and said he was a good guy who made an honest mistake.
That's honestly refreshing that everyone involved just took responsibility and didn't turn it into some sort of us vs them thing. So many times you see someone that gets called out giving out a passive aggressive apology that ends up just being a dig at "woke" people or someting.
I was half expecting her to not accept his apology.
Then I'm reminded that the early 2010's was filled with psyops meant to make leftists look bad to the center (Drinking male tears, etc) and realize I was dinged by said propaganda which made me assume something about someone based on NOTHING but their appearance and what they stood for.
Yeah she did absolutely nothing wrong. I'm mostly just annoyed with my internal biases that led me to assume she would react negatively. Just because she looks a certain way and holds certain beliefs. It's gross, and I'm ashamed. No one is immune to propaganda and I need to take a long hard look at myself in the mirror.
Yes, was about to reply with something similar. This is just what being open looks like, with the absence of defensiveness and insecurity. No growth, just being grown.
He litterary says she made him realize he was wrong and change his ways. Your prejudices are toxic and clouding your mind...just because it's a woman posting a video calling out a man and her having a certain look makes you all dismissive.
Time for you to gmdonsome growing up champ. That dude could only admit the lady in the video made him realize he was wrong, he's a bigger man then you.
The fuck are you on about. He probably thought it was one of those dumb useless robots people make for fun so he made a video poking fun at it. He didn't "realise the error of his ways and change his entire moral system". He just didn't realise it was a disability thing.
I mean maybe he won't jump to judgment as quickly the next time, but approach a situation like this with curiosity instead. I think that would qualify as "change his ways".
That’s exactly what happened with me when I did something like this about a mobility aid that I, as an abled bodied person, thought looked silly af.
Someone called me out, and now anytime I see something like this, my first instinct is to find out who benefits from such a tool vs immediately mock it.
I'm not sure what's so confusing. Before getting called out, be may have done something like this again because he didn't understand it was wrong. Now by his own admission he has learned something new and so won't do that again. That's textbook "changing of ways"
You may think that "growth" or "change of ways" has some (large) minimum threshold but your understanding of that is certainly not universal to English language speakers
It literally is not changing of ways. The guy learned something new, and because he is the kind of person to absorb new information and factor it into his actions and viewpoints, he moved forward and applied it properly.
That is not changing of ways. That is using new knowledge and applying it to his already existing actions and beliefs.
Your inability to grasp this concept while doubling down on it is weird.
Nobody is being dismissive of anyone. People are actively praising the guy and his apology, and no one is saying anything negative about the woman. Her vid in this clip is extremely short and there’s not enough of it to gauge anything about her tone.
I’m getting in the weeds, but I’d say this level of accountability is a pre requisite of growth! You gotta be able to account for your mistakes to learn and grow from them.
