    (1) First, the people who brought up Kevin Hart's past tweets — like me — were not, as Ellen characterized, "haters." The host of the Oscars had made anti-gay jokes, and LGBT people who love the Oscars were legitimately startled to see just how harsh his words were. It wasn't a…

        (3) …when @louisvirtel asked Hart about the vaguely homophobic jokes in GET HARD, like Hart affecting an effeminate voice to evoke fear of prison rape, Hart's response was, "Funny is funny." That may be a legit perspective; it isn't an apology.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti4s05J1sJc …

        (4) Third, Hart argued that the fact that his old tweets were found so quickly is evidence of a malicious attack to destroy him personally, b/c people had to go through over 40k tweets to get back to his old ones from 2010 and 2011 (rather than 2008, as he kept saying). Well…

        (5) …Hart may not be aware, but Twitter has a search function that allows anyone to search anyone else's history. So if you're curious if a standup comic hired to host the Oscars had used homophobic language in the past, it takes 10 seconds to find out. https://twitter.com/search-advanced

        (6) Finally, it's depressing that Ellen's enthusiasm for Hart hosting the Oscars — and he would've been a good host! — led her to contribute to a narrative that Hart is the victim of "haters" & "trolls" out to "destroy" him, & if he doesn't host the Oscars, they'll "win." Well…

        (7) …if @TheAcademy wants to hire Hart back after he made the simple act of apologizing for hurtful, harmful, anti-gay language into a vicious conspiracy to ruin his entire life, I'm not sure who "wins" in that scenario, either. (END)

        And something he tweeted 10 years ago should have any form of effect on his present self? I know that even over the past 2 years I've became much more of a person than I was then, and that's only 2 years.

        You’re totally right and I couldn’t agree more with you! People grow and evolve and sometimes they don’t agree with they once were. The problem is he refuses to apologize for it and doesn’t show any regret for it...

        Even if he hasn't replied. He clearly doesn't think the same way. And I think that having to come out and apologise for something he did 10 years ago is a little extreme.

        There's been no evidence that he doesn't think the same way, tho. This is why the apology was so important - it would verify that he reflected on the harm he's done and no longer stands by it. His refusal to even consider it, and labelling himself the victim, suggests no change

        The evidence is that it hasn't happened in 10 years. If he still thought that way then he would still be doing it. I think this has been taking so far out of proportion.

        Ffs, he obviously means he’s also changed as a person. just compile a list of what he should explicitly say, including a apology to Jesus & every other religious figure (we don’t wanna offend anyone)

        he said he wouldn’t make the same joke now because people are too “sensitive”, how does that translate into him saying he’s changed? if he’s changed, he’d WANT to apologize, but he hasn’t, not once. imagine thinking a single apology for using countless slurs is unreasonable?

        This is such a reach. 10 years ago I was 19. And I was homophobic and transphobic as hell. And I STILL am trying to educate my self and ask questions. Doing so has allowed me to love and respect others who are different than me. I don’t even have to fully get it. I just have to

        Yes, but your statment here proves you have grown and that you are learning. His multiple statements after the remarks just prove he regrets saying it because it pissed people off. He has never acknowledged sincerely that what he said was wrong and that he thinks differently now

        He made jokes almost 10 years ago and he apologized for every anti-gay joke he did along the way handling them in their respective times. And we need to look back and see how the LGBT community was viewed in that time and how much it changed.

        We need to understand that a 20 year old me is completely different than a 30 year old me. People change. You can't go back to the past and try to find something to blame someone on. Judge him for what he is presenting in his own present respective time.

        And had he said that when the accusations came out, had he said “hey I apologized years ago and I apologize now. I’ve reflected and realized I was wrong” very few would gave refused to forgive. But, His first statement on it had no apology, was an angry refusal to apologize.

        in his first statement he refused to apologize citing that he had already apologized multiple times for these exact things in the past... people didn't accept that and wanted to apologize again, and he said no. i agree with him.

        This is his first response. It doesn’t apologize. It’s incredibly defensive. He could’ve chose to say “I apologized before, and I realize people may just now be seeing what I said back then, so let me say again, I apologize, I was wrong, I’ve grown...” etc. He refused.pic.twitter.com/kAl6zvFklT
