Just because someone turned out to be a bad person doesn't mean that bad thing didn't happen to them or that person was entirely wrong. I hate the internet's narrow view that just because someone got exposed as a bad person, it suddenly dismisses their claims against another.
Ava Kris Tyson is a child predator, that doesn't mean SunnyV2 video was suddenly correct. Context matters. It was still a transphobic video that didn't even suggest any of the actual harmful things Ava has done.
Synnibear03 is a child predator and Birdie, while so far I wouldn't say he's a child predator, was exposed to be inappropriate with kids (commenting on a 15 year old's fanart of his hypersexual ocs when he shouldn't, the whole dating a 13 year old thing that I've been iffy about) That doesn't mean Deadwingdork 'won' (and I find it gross how his fans used synni being exposed as a groomer a bloody celebration. Wow, way to say you don't actually care about kids being affected guys!) He didn't won because even in that situation, he was whiny for such minimal reasons like a fictional room and trigger warnings, commented on things like he knew when he didn't know them like defending Birdie's parents and is also transphobic (constantly using 'it' to mock Birdie's pronouns as he called it dehumanizing instead of just using 'he') Deadwingdork had his own problems that shouldn't be negated or excused just because these two people turned out to be bad.
The situation with Cody Ko where people dismissed Tana's claim of him saing her when she was a minor. Just because she's been exposed as a bad person before doesn't mean bad things couldn't have happened to her or someone taking advantage of her, especially when she's a minor in an online sphere.
And now I'm worried people are gonna do the same thing where Courtney claims of her sister, Lily Orchard, saing her would be dismissed as she's now revealed to be a bad person. Lily especially will definitely fucking use it to negate her own issues and I need everyone to be aware stop with this mentality towards bad people. All that's doing is letting other bad people like Lily get away with their actions when we shouldn't be doing that. Don't dismiss Courtney's claims just because she's a bad person.
Bad people aren't always wrong and can get mistreated by others and those by negating those others issues, your essentially giving them a pass. And you don't want to do that. Especially Lily. Don't play her game.
