Her hair looks like straw tbh.

But OT I think the backlash is undeserved but so was her rise so maybe it will all equal out.

Sheesh she said a stupid slur when she was barley 15 people are still offended over it. Jesus Christ, I hope she doesn't listen to them lol.

um, i'm pretty sure it's gen z. i'm guessing you're not a millenial and trying to shift the blame... well look at that.

Sis im a millenial at heart, and i can’t stand our generation and the one after us, everyone is so easily offended, can’t make a joke or edgy remark anymore.

so how many posts addressing something do people need? Does she need to disappear for a year Taylor Swift style? Like what do people want? This exaggerated scrutiny of every little thing like posting a selfie is so annoying. 

It's not the quantity of apologies that is in question. It's the time between the apology, the perceived inappropriate act and the next "we've moved on from it" post. Billie has decided to "move on" just days after the apology, which can make the apology seem like it was a PR move.

Imagine someone in your family dying, and you attending their funeral but then attending a party the next day. Would you accept someone saying "What? I've attended the funeral, didn't I?"

This is also the reason why Gaga waited for longer before she even started talking about Chromatica again when the George Floyd incident happened. She didn't just post an Instagram post saying "I'm all for the black community" and then resumed to promote her album like 3 days later. She took at least half a month, maybe more than a month to address the issue appropriately, trying as best as she could to spread awareness on white privilege and systemic racism before she even started talking about music again.

It's called being mature, sensitive and respectful. It's called being responsible on the hurt that our actions and words would potentially cause, even if these words were uttered in the past.
