People Talk A Great Deal About Being Held Accountable When It Comes To Others - Particularly Famous People.

People talk a great deal about being held accountable when it comes to others - particularly famous people. And I agree, everyone should face the consequences of their actions. But like, actions they did a year ago, two years ago, 3 years ago. And obviously the consequences should fit the actions.

But when y'all take out your pitchforks and prepare to burn someone at the stake for something they said or did (i.e. a racist/transphobic/homophobic/misogynistic/etc comment) ten years ago or longer, then that’s just stupid.

I said some pretty homophobic shit 5-6 years ago, I said some pretty racist shit some 5-6 years ago. Should I be tried for murder and receive the capital punishment? Should you?

Don’t defend celebrities with your life, you don’t know them, they don’t even know you exist, you owe them nothing. But don’t treat them like the “mortal” laws don’t apply to them simply because they’re famous, and “bring them to justice” for shit like this that happened a bazillion years ago.

Be angry and demand justice for those who sexually assaulted or murdered people 10+ years ago. Not people who made transphobic jokes 10 years ago or played Buddha in a movie when they were 29. IF it’s obvious they’re not the same person anymore and they’ve come a long way. It gains you nothing besides show how little sympathy and respect for growth you have.

I’m rereading Prisoner of Azkaban and the trio visit Hagrid after Buckbeak injured Malfoy. After Hagrid calms down, he finally notices that Harry is indeed there, when he’s not supposed to be out after dark because of the threat of Sirius looming and he says this:

“C’mon!” Hagrid said angrily. “I’m takin’ yer all back up ter school, an’ don’ let me catch yeh walkin’ down ter see me after dark again. I’m not worth that!”

That last sentence really got to me, because here you have Hagrid, such a kind, gentle, loving soul, willing to give anything and anyone a chance, inherently assuming that all animals (ferocious or not) are worthy of love and nurture, and he says he’s not worth the effort and the risk. Not even when he’s going through a difficult time and could use support and comfort. And I just want to hug him so badly, because damn, he’s worth SO much.
