In a better world Satoshi Kon would get the level of praise Miyazaki gets but unfortunately Kon's works don't appeal to the "young witch in the alps solving the mystery of her neighbor's missing cat" crowd so we're fucked I guess

Genuinely I wish film circles discussed his work more and treated his death as the tragedy that it is. Losing him at age 46 was an enormous loss.

I am the one who discusses and praises kon more than miyazaki

I actually love hearing about reformed people's stories. I love hearing about people who were in toxic communities or people who used to objectively be dickheads talking about how they got out of that. How they made themselves better.

I hate how most people's initial reaction to stories like that are things like:

"How could you have ever done those things?!"
"Oh my god, you believed those things?!"
"Well it doesn't un-do the harm you did!"

People incessantly advocate for change but then refuse to allow people who have changed the grace of being acknowledged and given opportunities and chances.

I love hearing about ex-antis talking about how they don't spend their days being angry and sending death threats anymore.

I love hearing about ex-homophobes who realized there's no magic law about what is "natural."

I love reformed bullies talking about how they made amends with their victims and spend their days being considerate of others.

You can't scream about wanting people to change but then expect them to spend the rest of their lives stuck in the past and on who they used to be. You can't expect people to spend the entire rest of their lives grovelling and apologizing and demeaning themselves.

Instead of clinging to who they were, latch onto who they are.

Ask how they got out of it. Commend them on changing. Enjoy that there's one less cause of harm in the world.

I also love stuff like that because it's a blueprint for how we can save others. If someone used to be a giant racist and stopped, we can take what convinced them to change and spread that message

I mean, in case anyone who thinks well of me might need an example of how true this is, I used to be kind of a terrible person who believed terrible things that directly contradicted not only the things I now believe but contradicted who and what I now am. I fixed my shit. I'm still not a good person, don't get me started on the difference between what I think and what I do, but I'd rather be a bit terrible and aware of it and trying to do better than horrible and insistent that I was right and content to abuse people or let them be abused. At least I have the potential to become better.

Let people grow. If they change their minds, fucking welcome them to a better place. They have shown their potential. Extend a hand, don't shove them away.

i always like to reblog posts like this because it's so affirming to people who are afraid to start to be told "yeah it's scary and hard but you can do it, i did".

not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise
