Can I just say something?
People need to be held accountable for their words (and actions, of course but “words” is more applicable here on the internet).
It kind of pisses me off that this person apparently deleted her comment. Oh, and later came back and try to justify it. Not apologize. Justify:
I appreciate all of them, it’s just that having to see Nick walking all over the stage not wearing any pants is slightly creepy.
No. That is neither acceptable nor appropriate, and she deserves to be called out on both her original comment and her lame justification. First of all, she should have apologized after making the first comment which Nick Lang saw. But she didn’t. Do you see an apology anywhere in that response? No. And so her protest that she does “appreciate all of them” falls flat because there is no humbling, no apology. At this point, I just don’t believe her when she says that, especially considering the “yes, but” statement she gives after the “I appreciate all of them.” No you don’t. So stop lying.
Now, about her deleting the original comment (which is what I assume happened. Both her comment and Nick’s comments have been removed from the video):
That is cowardly. That is dishonest. Luckily, someone was able to screencap this so she could be held accountable for her words. I am sick and tired of this kind of underhandedness in both the Starkid fandom and others. If you say something supremely stupid, then you should be corrected and you should apologize. Not come back, delete the comment, try to pretend like it never happened, and then try to justify yourself when that doesn’t work. You’re just making more of a fool of yourself.
And that’s not to say an apology wouldn’t be accepted even at this point. I mean, it’s not completely up to me to accept an apology. If an apology is warranted (and I think it is), it should be to Nick Lang first and foremost. But I do think at this point an apology should also be given to the Starkid fandom as a whole. When you come out in a public forum like that and you make those kind of comments, itdoesaffect more than just one person, as I think we have seen. Again, an apology should be primarily directed to Nick Lang and Team StarKid. But this person has also brought shame on the whole fandom. You represent us, so don’t act like a moron.
And supreme kudos to Nick Lang for being a good sport, as always.
Okay, I think I’m done. #steppingoffsoapbox
