I never knew she existed until reading this post, I haven’t looked her up, and will forget about her the moment this post disappears from my timeline. She got nothing from me. I don’t have to forgive her for anything, not only because it’s her lifestyle choices and she only really harmed nobody but herself in the process. but also because ultimately, in the grand scheme of things, I don’t care all that much. She’s an irrelevant person who achieved nothing and, like I said, I will forget about her about as quickly as I learned about her.
And, again, while I do find the act itself somewhat repulsive and somewhat of a deal breaker for me, what really puts me off here is the lack of basic brain cell functionality. Like I said, there likely was plenty of time for her to stop and think about it and she clearly did not.
And this goes for everyone involved in the planning and realization of her actions that day.
There’s no way she put-in little-enough thought to make her statements since sincere, except, probably, drugs, but in the modern narrative that was just another layer of something that “happened to” her. I don’t buy the “self-harm” angle either - that’s just another facet of ex-post-facto internalized shame, without which none of the mental gymnastics would be “necessary”.
As for the rest of your first paragraph, right there with you. I’m never intentionally looking up the one video, at least.
