    one of your wrongest statements ever i fear 
     
    you think she’d miss out on the album/merch sales of two whole albums that all she has to do is re-record with minimal effort???? those things make her so much money and she is not gonna pass that up lmao
     
    like even if she owns them she’d still redo them at this point

    Lol, that’s fair but I’m actually defending her. People can think she’s annoying or not fuck with her music but there’s blatant hypocrisy when it comes to who is granted the grace to learn and grow from their teenage mistakes.

    Do you mean the one on the previous page? I read it and I think they're more-so defending her lol. I don't even personally listen to Camila but some points were made about selective outrage.
     
    I think a lot of people simply dislike Camila and want a 'valid reasoning' to do so. Slayyyter is a good example of hypocrisy because she in particular has said and did the exact same, if not worse, things than what Camila did (through a Camila fanpage, to top it all off) and her fans rarely hold this against her; but when it's Camila herself, the same people are quick to attack.

    No one’s intelligence should be insulted by pretending the negativity surrounding Camila is merely that her new lead single and sound isn’t being received well. It’s everything she does and it’s reaching look at that bitch eating those crackers like she owns the place territory.
     
    It's true that a lot of it is the belief that her revamped sound and look is inauthentic, a perfectly fair criticism if that’s how you perceive it. I’ve never been a fan of her music and really dislike the way she blatantly ripped off the excellent art design for Caroline Polachek’s Pang. Given her notable plagiarism and lack of artistic identity, the collective eye rolling from Charli’s fanbase is understandable.
     
    But the crux of the overwhelming negativity is the claim that she’s a racist due to her past use of the n word and the racist edgelord memes she reblogged as a teenager. Apparently she publicly apologised for this and completed a “racial healing course.”
     
    What I find interesting is the hypocrisy I’ve observed among pop music fans. Let’s take Slayyyter as an example, a similar case where it was discovered her teenage self had used racial slurs on Twitter. She apologised, donated to black trans charities, and acknowledged that she’s matured a great deal in the years since her edgelord behaviour. Camila has shared similar sentiments. One is afforded the grace to learn and grow, while the other is forever defined by her teenage self. In Twitter, Reddit, and forum posts about Slayyyter’s new projects, you’d be hard pressed to find any mention of her past racism. Whereas Camila’s are bursting at the seams with reminders. A more extreme example is Azealia Banks. She's made (and continues to make) so many racist, homophobic, transphobic comments. Some truly heinous things, but a good number of these same people hand wave it away and continue to support her anyway.
     
    I see a lot of Slayyyter fans ruthlessly going after Camila for her past behaviour — the brass balls on them to be so confident is incredible. The reality is we have no way of knowing if either of them are truly sorry for their past racism or if they’re just sorry because they were caught. Slayyyter’s fanbase believes her apology was sincere because they need to believe it was sincere if they want to continue enjoying her projects and supporting her publicly. You could argue that Slayyyter’s apology is presumed sincere because she donated to black charities, but do you actually believe that would make a difference if Camila did the same? I honestly don’t think it would. Past racism aside, Camila is seen as generally unlikable while Slayyyter is seen as pretty charming. It’s a lot easier to write someone off if you never liked them to begin with.
     
    But you can't have it both ways -- either change and growth are possible or they're not. The idea that your character should be forever defined by the behaviour of your teenage self is a frightening notion, but if you genuinely believe that it should be if the context of that behaviour is racism, then it should apply to everyone, including the people you’re a fan of.
