Okay, because some of the people who took part in the P4P4M4PLE thing don’t seem to realize why it was insensitive, let me quickly explain: by saying it’s a joke you are saying what people have suffered through was a joke. It’s easy enough to say with your whole chest that it -
Got blown out of proportion and that it wasn’t the most sensitive of ways to explain yourselves. Most of the people hurt by it just want you to acknowledge their feelings, which is something that cannot be invalidated because you cannot say how someone else feels.
If a group of people starts to say ‘hey, this makes us uncomfortable’ ask why instead of saying that they are “antis” and “hating on you”. On the other side of things, there should have been no death threats or slurs thrown either, which only fueled the fire of misunderstandings-
What I am trying to say is that it started out with good intentions, but people have been hurt so it is time to if not apologize then to at least acknowledge the emotions of the other side, and why they may feel that way.
Have some empathy for your fellow human and acknowledge that you may not have been in the right, even if you didn’t mean to do wrong.
All of this said, I apologize to anyone that I may have hurt for the hour I took part. I acknowledge your pain and I stopped as soon as I realized that I was in the wrong. My intentions had been good, but it may not have came off that way. My deepest condolences for anyone I hurt
