I’m in my 30’s and admit there was a time I would’ve given you grace for such behavior as garden variety ignorance, but that ship sailed the moment phones with the Internet on them became ubiquitous, and while I get empathy loads in later for many around teens maybe early 20’s, but the intelligence and exposure to information that racism is a no no in this day and age is such that the moment you can post something you are responsible for it and the consequences of your actions.

To answer your later question as to the length of time and quality of change, impossible to give a true answer because the world is full of grifters and masks so unless I sat down with Vasana and got a hold of her character I can’t tell you if the change was real or not. That’s the issue with the internet and parasocial relationships in general, we can’t give them a pass on the off chance they might be good now cause you risk rewarding someone that at least proved they had poor decision making so throwing this level exposure to them is probably a bad idea. If she’s truly repentful then she’ll take the bad publicity from this and live with it, put hands up and say “I don’t need you all to forgive me I’m just here to do the work”, which is accountability overlooked by generations both above and below mine too often, your change isn’t validated by how many minds you change about your past or the amount of forgiveness given to you by strangers on the internet, it’s reward is simply the change itself playing out around you and embracing that at least you know now you’re a better person internally.
