I don't mean this in an inflamamtory way at all, I actually love her music, I'm just curious

 

Did people just decide to """forgive""" Ari bc of the drama that went on with Ethan? I remember when that was hot tea, many of her long time stans were turning on her. I just wanted to know if something happened that redeemed them or if ppl just forgot about it. 

I personally think people just wanted to clutch their pearls and feel some sort of outrage for the thrill of it. People LOOOOVE to be on the "right" side of a public outcry over morals.

It takes two to tango here. Ariana may have "poached" someone else's man....but that man said "Yes" and went along with it. He's just as "bad" as her in the situation, and what I ultimately think puts gas on the fire is that most people don't want to admit that marriage and kids doesn't mean your relationship is final, locked down, and "good". Someone who's in a happy, loving, perfect marriage and who has a great relationship can't be "stolen". A home has to have some significant holes in it for someone to walk in and "homewreck", and I think a lot of people don't want to admit that reality, because it means doubting the stability of their own relationships to some degree. Better to take all that emotion and keep it on the outside and throw it at the  "harlot" with no morals who "selfishly home wrecked and took a father away from his wife and child", rather than admit that maybe two people unhappy in their own relationships found each other and realized that they could have better.

Once the media got tired of the story and ran something else, people stopped imaging themselves in her/their shoes and self-inducing rage by imaging it happening to them. Then folks simply just moved on.

(Then Wicked came out and the joys of a good performance erased any traces of controversy from their minds).

That's just my 2 cents.
