People aren't ignoring it and pretending it's not happening. It is happening. Often. So now that you know that, do you really still just not care? Because if you don't, then no, you don't have any empathy or sympathy. And if you do care, and you do have sympathy and empathy, then why are you defending the actions of abusers by giving them your money and supporting their products?
And I'm sorry, the trend now is that everybody cares? Compassion isn't a trend. Having morals isn't a trend. Telling people that they're bad for beating the shit out of other people isn't a motherfucking trend. For thousands and thousands of years, we've punished crimes. We as human beings have always had a sense of right and wrong that generally drew the line at "don't hurt each other". The only thing that's new is that we're finally starting to be more open about forms of abuse that used to be swept under the rug.
You do not condone violence or abuse of any kind? You literally said you couldn't care less if someone beats women. Your words, not mine.
Please. I'm not calling you names. I'm not calling myself "better than you". I'm not even being sarcastic about anything. I'm trying to reach you, as one human being to another, and get you to understand that constantly supporting people who are known abusers and not caring at all about their criminality only serves to condone, accept, and normalize their behavior.
And now that this is starting to get wayyyyyyyyy off topic, I'm done. You can quote this all you want and feel like you've had the last word. You can have it. If I can't get you to understand that supporting known abusers is tantamount to condoning their actions, then frankly I just don't know how to reach you, and can only hope that some day you have an epiphany.
