That time a YouTuber's apology video actually made me tear up
I was scrolling through my feed last Tuesday and saw this apology from a gamer I used to watch years ago. He got caught using racial slurs in old clips from like 2016. I honestly expected the usual corporate scripted nonsense that celebrities always put out. But this guy spent 12 minutes just explaining how he grew up in a small town in Ohio and never really understood the harm until his own fans called him out. He even listed specific charities he donated to and promised to step back from streaming for 6 months to actually educate himself. I don't know, it felt real to me because he didn't make excuses or blame anyone else. Has anyone else seen an apology that actually seemed genuine and not just damage control?

Yeah @green.noah I saw that reddit thread blowing up too and it was nice to see so many people agreeing it felt real. I actually went and watched the whole video after reading that post and I totally get why you teared up, there was something about how raw he was that hit different from the usual sorry scripts.

@alice_allen5 honestly just save that video somewhere because you'll want to reference it next time someone gives you a fake apology, trust me.
