When did this happen? Was it a couple of years ago when he said that he didn't put those negative stereotypes out into the world, just used them for laughs? Was it when he said he only stopped talking like that because times are "more sensitive"? Was it when he continually told Ellen he "addressed" this all before, but all people can find (other than the tweet he made after losing the job) are those excuses and no instance of the word "sorry" or "I apologize"? Where's the progress?
I think the receipts argument is flawed, you don't hang around the dude and never have. How do you know if he's changed or how he even was in the first place?
He's busy doing more important things like Hamilton for Puerto Rico charity
Because he's in public calling himself a fucking victim for having to deal with his own words.
You're calling for evidence that a behavior you never knew existed prior has been dealt with.
In public. People need to quit pretending they know people because you follow them on social media. You don't, never have and likely never will.
How is the fact that some people didn't know he was a bigot relevant?
If you make bigoted remarks in public, and refuse to apologize for them in public, you're still a bigot. Stop defending homophobia and bigotry.
People are claiming he's changed. I asked for evidence that backs this claim. And this is somehow hard for you to understand?
Sorry but you don't get to decide this. Nobody's defending his remarks, I've called them homophobic. Stop playing a victim.
So we cannot decide something like this, but random people can decide that he's changed despite providing zero evidence?
I should've said you only get to dictate your own feelings. But you can't make society turn on someone that they don't want to.
No my argument is that the argument that he didnt apologize to his son in public is irrelevant.
I'm just gonna leave this conversation at , while its up to you to accept it or not, you don't get to dictate somone's apology. People seem to anxious in here to twist words. Peace, Be easy.
We can judge someone's bullshit apology all we want. Bail when your argument fails, the usual.
Tired of these cowards. Casually defending the dismissal of blatant homophobia/transphobia with one foot out the door.
Nah the obvious ban baiting and mixing of words make these threads not worth participating in. Yall stay blessed..
Ban baiting? We had a honest discussion and you showed your ass and bounced once your argument failed. No one baited you.
Even a fake apology, if well crafted, at least does a service by telling more people "it's not OK to be homophobic in public and here's why". He never once addressed how people in the LGBT community are affected by comments like that or why using that language is wrong and contributes to homophobia in society.
Nothing. It's not about what people want from Kevin Hart, it's about what people want from the Academy and Hollywood, which is that they stop promoting homophobes. Hart's allowed to be a bigot, and we're allowed to demand Hollywood not give bigots airtime and promotion. If they want to do that anyway, we'll organize, we'll boycott, and we'll show them that supporting homophobes will cost them money. No one owes Hart a career, and if his apology seems insincere to people, they'll stop going to see his movies. Time will tell if people believe him or not and care or not. But if his career is wrecked, it's because of Hart himself and his homophobia, not because people are being specially mean to him.
You actually believe this crap you wrote? Revisionist history for sure
If he's this homophobic in PUBLIC I imagine he's much worse in private. Foh
When you're drunk/high on life (and substances) at the Game Awards
