If this happened in the good old days of the pre-Internet 80s, where some 19-year-old kid won a state rep primary and then some girl said "That's the guy who almost bullied me into suicide five years ago", very little about the story would be different

You may think the Internet makes the story different Like "Oh, he only told her he was fat and ugly and should die ON FACEBOOK, he did that because the Internet isn't real, he wouldn't have done that face to face" I think you're wrong

The worst thing about this excruciating ordeal is watching these people drag tons of completely unrelated issues This has absolutely nothing to do with digital culture or the "right to be forgotten"

The person who hasn't forgotten is the actual specific person he repeatedly told to kill herself The reason she hasn't forgotten is that she almost actually did kill herself The Internet has nothing to do with that - for all we know all those posts have been long since deleted

"Sure, he may have blackmailed a child, sent her nude photos to people, engaged in protracted harassment, and pressured a child to kill herself, but how dare you require that he do literally anything at any point to make amends?"

I hate this shit so much. I'm used to encountering it with evangelical/conservative Christianity (you have to forgive no matter what, after all, Jesus forgives!) but *of course* other assholes are doing it, too.
