There’s a certain type of Tourette’s that makes people say things such as swears or slurs. Even the most basic research would uncover this. Why should somebody who physically cannot control what they do have to apologize it’s a mental illness. Yeah, it’s kind of crude, but they don’t have any control over what they say or how they say it

It’s not apologizing for your mental illness, it’s making others aware of it to prevent any misunderstanding. If I just suddenly called you a bitch with zero context you’d be confused and upset, which is why (especially in a public setting like this) when things like that happen just say “Oh mb I have Tourette’s. These are lovely people.” And move tf on. If people are still upset then they are being uneducated but if people didn’t know AND you didn’t apologize you rightfully are gonna get hate

And like I said I know you have zero control over that..I’ve been through it and worse. Tics fucking hurt and they suck but you still need to be aware of your surroundings and situations, that’s just life.

Sure, I agree with you, but that’s a pretty big inconvenience to the person. What if they didn’t want to share the problem or apologize for something that they can’t control

No fr!! Like the fake ass late apology with the “IF” I hurt anyone pissed me off. A simple “my bad yall” would’ve opened the door for love and healing.

I don’t share my personal information unless I do something or my condition is extremely annoying and guaranteed to flare up. Like during my HS years I didn’t have the luxury of not bringing it up, even if I was uncomfortable. But even then I only mentioned it when I had a vocal or physical tic that could be alarming to everyone without context. Outside of that I don’t talk about it AT ALL because I don’t wanna In a public area on TV tho? You gotta immediately have your “MB GUYS” On standby

I will say I won’t apologize for just doing normal vocal ticks or movements. That doesn’t require an apology because the only person that’s being inconvenienced is me- it literally doesn’t affect anyone. But if I start cussing or cussing at someone or saying weird shit I apologize initially of course because of obvious reasons. Hope this helps understand the difference

😭I agree with u however u lack nuance on the situation. The guy apologized directly to the sinners team right after leaving early b/c he noticed the distress his tics was causing. Before the ceremony he warned the audience of his tics. His other comments was filtered out. He was told any swear words would be edited out. There was also a microphone near him. He also ticced about like 10 different offensive words as well. (Unless we aren’t talking about this I’m sorry)

I’m not saying there was no harm done by his tic, but at the same time the people running the awards show should have reduced harm by editing out his worst one. Things resolved civilly between everyone involved tho

Like it’s so fucked up to publicly humiliate a disabled man and also air two actors being a victim of racial abuse on national television at the same time, especially with a 2 hour delay. The editors should be ashamed of themselves
