My Issue With Camila's Apology Is That 6 Years Ago In 2013 A Website Published Screenshots Of Her Calling
My issue with Camila's apology is that 6 years ago in 2013 a website published screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word and of problematic/racist stuff she published on her 1D stan account and she "apologized" in a tweet BUT months later she did it again and the same website called her out, this time she called Dinah Jane “ghetto fabulous,” called Barack Obama the n-word on her 1D account, and new screenshots of her calling Normani the n-word in a casual text conversation surfaced, plus this tweet:
Now, let's look at the "apology" back then:
Let's look at yesterday's apology about her tumblr posts:
Notice something? It's basically the same thing, but longer.
I think cancel culture has gotten out of control as people have both the ability and the right to grow, learn and change, and cancel culture does not allow that, but what irks me is that Camila's apology doesn't read as genuine because as you can see she repeated the same excuse disguised as an apology that she used 6 years ago and back then it wasn't long until she went back to her, and I quote, "immature and ignorant behaviour".
It’s not that Camila is necessarily a bad person or that she definitely hasn’t learned anything from her past mistakes, but as an increasingly-famous public figure, she has a responsibility to publicly acknowledge why her actions were inherently wrong and to give her fans more than an excuse. And given that she apologized shallowly before she needs to show she means it, that this is not another half-ass apology like in 2013.
Camila's albums are good and I'd like for her to show the growing she likes to talk about so much.

“May I?” “You may.”
Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía. El violador eres tú.
"And the fault isn't mine, where I was or how I dress. You are the rapist."
Those are the translated lyrics of the Latin feminist hymn originated in Chile.
The lyrics have been criticized by anti-feminists (specially in mexico) and so many women started tweeting about their experience with sexual assault (where they were and what they were wearing) accompanied by the lyrics and DataPopMX just released some statistics based on 2,832 tweets:
In 68% of the sexual assaults occurred between 4 and 6 years old, they wore pajamas and were in family home.
In 26% of the sexual assaults occurred between 4 and 6 years old, they wore children's clothes and were in family home.
In 87% of the sexual assaults occurred between 9 and 11 years old, they wore their school uniform and were in family home.
In 59% of the sexual assaults occurred between 14 and 16 years old, they wore shorts and were on the street.
In 76% of sexual assaults occurred between 19 and 21 years old, they wore jeans and were at a friend's place.
In 8% of sexual assaults occurred between 19 and 21 years old, they wore skirts and were in public transport.
Of the 2,832 tweets in total 31% (877) occurred between 4 and 6 years old.
One of the greatest lies the patriarchy has instilled into society is that, unlike men, women are allowed to show emotion.
Every single woman I know has been asked if she's on her period as a way to invalidate her feelings.
Every single woman I know has been told that she's overeacting because she's too emotional at least once.
One of the principal arguments against women in positions of power and leadership is that they're emotional creatures and therefore untrustworthy of those things.
Women get made fun of for crying at certain films, especially chick flicks.
Women aren't allowed to show emotion unless they show that they're happy and complacent.
I know ya'll dont really care about politics if its not USA stuff but the world should know that Lopez Obrador, Mexico's president has said on national tv that he wants to close down the INE (the national electoral institute) claiming that it's a waste of national resources, by that he means money. The INE organizes the electoral processes and guarantees the exercise of electoral rights. It is where you register to vote, it is where you go to vote. This man has publicly stated that he thinks democracy is a waste of money and he wants to shut down the organization that guarantees us that right. Our rights are in jeopardy right now. They have been threatened. And I dont see people talking about it. Not even mexicans, and its worrying.

Friendly reminder not to go see the new Fantastic Beasts movie in theater or on a streaming service!! All your doing is supporting a Terf if you do so, and saying that you think a stupid movie matters more than actual trans people and their rights :)) (and before any of you fuckers open your mouth I’m pretty sure shes actively involved in politics and basically runs a smear campaign against trans people on twitter)
fuck JKR
If you DO want to see it at LEAST consider donating an equal or higher amount to a trans or queer charity or just pirate it
Have a nice day
Y'all wanna preach about the importance of bi/pan visibility but none of you mean it.
In 2018 two girls on a bachelor show fell in love with each other and quit the show. They were later seen at a Pride event and one of the girls was holding a bi pride flag but everybody still calls her a lesbian
Janelle Monáe came out as bi and everybody celebrated. Cool. She later specified as Pansexual and nobody listened. People still refer to her a bi and ignore fans who say that pansexual is more accurate for her. People even "jokingly" call her song "PYNK" a lesbian anthem.
Recently a "lesbian" wedding photoshoot went viral on Twitter and Tumblr. Both brides were bisexual.
Nobody cares about what bi men have to say unless it's to shit on pansexuals. Nobody even notices nonbinary bi/pansexuals unless it's to validate them as wlw/mlm.
The community revived terms like mlm, wlw and sapphic to be inclusive but it's obvious that nobody actually uses them in practice. It's absolutely exhausting to say this constantly and nobody wants to admit they're guilty of doing this shit.
Do better
