I remember in 2016/17 when Pegasus would idealize r*pe all over the blogs page. I also remember when a user spoke about her personal experience on the subject and POLITELY explained why she shouldn't make those comments, only for Pegasus to DOUBLE DOWN and continue making comments that were clearly going to hurt/offend victims.
Personally idc who wins STARS and take Pegasus and her stories as seriously as I take AliBonico, i.e. I think she's completely devoid of substance and only says things for controversy and attention
WITH THAT SAID you made these same jokes for 4 years on Twitter AND Tengaged, instead of making up 5 bullshit lies to try and excuse it the least you could do is apologize to the people here who you made a mockery of for coming out with something serious all because you wanted 5 more minutes of attention Pegasus1234
She made like a 20 minute apology on youtube 6 months ago tho. I thought it was really good, she didn't try to excuse her actions, just explained and apologized for them. Did something new happen that I missed?
Well BendyEnby420 first she tried to claim the screenshots are fake before settling on the story that she only said these things on Twitter "right after her trauma" in 2019/20, which doesn't explain why she was saying things like "you're lucky to get raped" to the faces of victims in 2016/17.
On top of that, repeatedly trying to deny it and saying she "did nothing wrong" shows she's not remorseful even if she did a cringeworthy YouTube video reading off a script. If she's not willing to apologize to the face of the people she mocked even when they were graceful to her I don't think she's grown or developed at all
BengalBoy I think you are confusing 2 seperate events. She said the screenshots of her saying a racial slur were fake and provided receipts of them being fake on a separate post, not that the screenshots of r*pe stuff was fake.
That being said, I agree that telling people they are lucky for their trauma is disgusting, and I do agree that she owes the people she said that to a direct apology. I also agree it is distasteful to imply she did nothing wrong when she said that, but I haven't seen any reciepts of her saying she did nothing wrong, so if you could link me to the post where that is said I'd appreciate it.
I don't believe that she is lying about her trauma, but that is because I've known her personally for a while. While she talked about being gr**med in the video, she didn't talk about other things, and it's not my place to talk about other people's trauma. Just know that it is possible for a person to experience more than one traumatic event during their lifetime.
Hopefully she will see this and apologize directly to the people whose trauma were invalidated by her in 2016/17, so that they can heal from those comments. Thanks for letting me know what was going on!
pegasus1234 I could tell they were old because I recognized them from before, but I do think that they make a good point that you owe the people who you said that stuff to in 2016/2017 direct apologies.
BengalBoy you're right, saying "I did nothing wrong" is definitely a step backwards, but I understand why it happened. People are bringing up things that she said while in a horrible state of mind, and it may be triggering and have brought her back to that state of mind. That's not to say that I believe she did nothing wrong of course, but I understand how she was brought back there. It must hurt to be welcomed back to a place you experienced horrible things, feel like your apology was accepted and like you've changed and like things will be different, and then have that very same apology thrown back at you once reaching the finals and told there is nothing you can ever do to make up for your actions. Again, that's not to excuse the "I did nothing wrong" comment, it's a very toxic mindset to have and I hope she will think more about it once in a more clear state of mind, but I'm not about to stop caring about someone I've known for a long time and have personally witnessed growth and developement as a person just because of a temporary relapse into a toxic mindset. I've relapsed into toxic mindset too when triggered by past trauma, and it is really hard to recognize while in that state, and sometimes it will take weeks until after it's passed for me to feel safe enough to reflect on my behavior. (Again, I hope none of this comes off as excusing any past comments made or the more recent "I did nothing wrong" deflection, but rather is able to provide insight into what I believe is happening)
BendyEnby420 fact is she mocked victims for 4 years, including to their faces on TG while refusing to apologize or take responsibility for years. People are entitled to their own opinions/reactions towards that no matter what you say
I do believe ppl can change, and maybe she rly has. However, when u hurt ppl, u can’t just decide to move on from it and pretend it never happened bc UR over it.
bengalboy I don't think I ever said that people weren't entitled to be hurt and angry over what she said, in fact I believe I have openly stated several times that those comments were disgusting and that the victims were owed apologies. If you don't like me because I am friends with someone you don't like, that's fine, however I would appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth.
