    You’re 100 percent right. I do internally think the ‘cool, I guess.’ it just wouldn’t make a very good conversation on a forum.

    The fact they’re making a public statement does sorta imply they’re looking for some validation, otherwise they would just apologize to their closed ones and move on.

      Well, it was a podcast, I think he was asked.

      But I agree with you, the call to action to comment incentivizes outrage. The normal thing to do is go “huh” and not post, but if you post you’re probably on the outrage side.

      I… really don’t like the dynamics that causes. It’s nobody’s fault, it’s the structural incentive system around this stuff.
