I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she’s done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That’s before I learned about her promotion of these unproven “vampire facials”. Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.

    Is this like, a penance thing? Or is this the first time you’ve found out you were wrong about something? Because I guarantee you, no one learned about this and thought, “man I bet that sgibson5150 person really feels like a boob right now!”

    You’ll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

    You’ll find out you were wrong again. If you’re doing it right, it’ll be a daily occurrence. If you learned you caused harm in the past, it’s probably good to go back and try to make reparations. Otherwise, just be humbled and move on.
