Here is the Twitter thread that started this: https://twitter.com/jllord/status/941033391750819845 https://twitter.com/jllord/status/941033391750819845 And here's Max's statement: https://medium.com/@maxogden/statement-to-the-community-c8356dbdd392 https://medium.com/@maxogden/statement-to-the-community-c835.... The first version, which did not include any specific actions, and to a certain degree engaged in victim blaming, is here: https://imgur.com/zbiz1Hi https://imgur.com/zbiz1Hi Note how "pressure and expectations [that were] not sensitive to her needs and experiences" turned into "sexual abuse, coercion, and controlling behavior". But, ultimately, Max Ogden seems to have found his way to dealing with these accusations with something not entirely unlike integrity. Without knowing any specifics, I can only hope his ex-partner can find some degree of healing in it, and find a community that will support her. And, while I feel somewhat dirty including this in such proximity to wishing his victim well, it is worthy to remember that human lives, and especially relationships, are often messy. We have all made our fair share of mistakes, and their magnitude may often have been limited more by circumstances: good friends stepping in, or sheer luck. It must, and should, be painful to suddenly be woken up and realise the pain you've caused. But Max seems to be a rather young guy. And, contrary to popular opinion, it is in no ones' interest to see his life ruined. We have created an internet that doesn't forget. Let's see if we can handle its results. Not by forgetting. But, within reason, by forgiving.
