Cancelling Someone Should Be The Last Resort And Be Done After They Show Incapability Of Improving Or Wanting To - Blog Posts

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.
