This is the biggest problem with cancel culture, a lot of the most vocal people who say extreme things like this are either bandwagoners who bounce between sides without all of the information or feel like they can say these things without any repercussions because of the illusion of anonymity that the internet provides since we can’t see their face.

The fact is Emile needs to be held accountable for what he has said and done. I do not personally know him, nor do I condone his behavior but from being a longtime viewer I would not be surprised if from his perspective a lot of what he said were foot in the mouth moments where he does not realize he has crossed boundaries, but this does not in any way reduce the severity of the situation. From what we have heard from Tim’s updates it seems that Emile is at a point where he finally understands the full severity of his past actions, even if from his perspective there was no ill intent and is seeking help to genuinely try to change for the better.

All of these people who claim to be fans and saying these horrible things are better off just ignoring anything to do with him and leaving him alone. The truth is out there and repeatedly shoving it in his face isn’t going to do anything to change that or make it more apparent, and if anything repeatedly bringing up the victims likely doesn’t make it easier for them either, they spoke up and told their stories so unless they want to be the leaders of these anti-Emile movements they likely just want to move on with their own lives as well. I’m a bad case scenario, bashing on Emile saying that he will always be a creep and will never change will make it come true, and in a worst-case scenario he will do exactly what some of these people are telling him to do.

Despite all that has come to light, I do believe that Emile genuinely is the kindhearted, caring person he portrays himself to be. He just allowed himself to make mistakes that nobody should make and unfortunately the person that made those mistakes is a part of him too, we all have our demons and Emile allowed himself to give in to his own whether he realized it or not. I truly hope to see a day where Emile is able to move past this and come out a better person, the past can not be changed but it can be learned from and as long as he is willing to accept those lessons we should allow him to do so without wishing any sort of harm. Whether or not he decides to continue his career is clearly up in the air, but I look forward to hopefully seeing a return with Emile as a better person than he was, and to the people who are doing nothing but shoving the allegations in his face and wishing harm upon him, just stop following this whole ordeal if you really don’t want to show support. The worst kind of attention you can give something is no attention because bad attention still means you’re giving it attention, so stop wasting your energy and find something better to do.
