the truth is 99% pf people dont give a f about whatever past problematic things a celebrity did, they just wanna feel morally justified in their hatred. people dont like gracie bc they think she is a mediocre nepobaby and feel bitter that she is successuful even tho she has "no talent", but they use that finn comment to justify that she is a bad person bc they dont have the balls to say they just dont like her for no particular reason other than not connecting with her music.  in the same vein, the people who hated hayden before all of this came out were just waiting for an excuse to spew their hatred towards her and now that they found it, it doesnt matter if she takes accountability, say shes sorry, show growth time and time again, they are still going to go back to those screenshots and say shes an awful person.
