some dumb old troll tweets that someone wrote years ago (and publicly apologized for) shouldn't disqualified them from being a great reporter. hell by that metric basically noone who ever wrote something publicly of any substance is qualified also ever visited twitter? the stuff she wrote is pretty tame even by 2022 cancel culture standards

  She didn't apologize, what she said can be used by any harasser. "I was harassed by girls when I was young so now I adopt their language and harass women." Also I didn't know there is so much harassment online towards young south korean girls.

  Don't fool yourself that buying into the culture war has anything to do with being grounded in reality.

sarcasm is easy, but I'd be willing to hear any earnest objections you have. my assumption is that you don't have any that aren't themselves hypocritical or contradictory, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong about that! ETA: in case it's unclear - this is not me trying to platform OP's bullshit in good faith, this is me calling OP's bluff. I don't think ne can articulate an actual problem that isn't self-defeating, which is why ne retreated to sarcastic implication rather than outright accusation.

Shouldn't we celebrate her for changing and growing instead of trolling the web for 12 year old edgelord tweets that she has already apologized for? Since then, she has become a strong and rational voice on the national scene, and there is nothing to indicate that her change in beliefs and apology was insincere. I don't think I was a "bad person" at that age, but I certainly know that I said some cringy, stupid stuff that I certainly don't stand by anymore. Quite frankly, I think it is far more concerning if a person can't identify anything that they have changed their mind on. We should celebrate when people change for the better instead of attacking them for having been bad in the past.
