I defended a TikTok chef for 3 weeks and then her old tweets from 2019 came out
So back in early March I got into a big fight in a Discord server over this TikTok chef with about 800k followers who got dragged for using a racial slur in a recipe video. I spent like 3 weeks arguing that she just misspoke and people were being too harsh. Then someone dug up her tweets from 2019 and there were at least 6 of them that were way worse than the video. I felt like such an idiot because I had typed out paragraphs defending her. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother sticking up for anyone online anymore, or if I should just wait a month before forming any opinion. How long do you all usually wait before deciding if a cancellation is fair?

Did you ever back the wrong horse so hard you wanted to delete your whole account? I did that with a YouTuber a couple years back, some guy who did cooking videos and seemed super chill. I went to bat for him in like 4 different comment sections when people called him out for being rude to fans. Turned out he had a whole history of scamming people on some crypto thing and I looked like a total clown. The worst part was one guy replied to my paragraph with a screenshot and just wrote "aged like milk" and honestly he was right. My new rule is I just shut up for like two weeks minimum and let the internet do its thing. Nine times out of ten the truth comes out fast anyway and you save yourself the embarrassment.
