Best thing to do is be the complete opposite and do your best to defend the people who need it

growing and changing those beliefs is multitudes more than many people would do. i’m proud of you, and you are not a bad person or a fraud for this! if it helps, i used to be the same way and thought being edgy was funny but i’m not that person anymore and neither are u! i know it’s easier said than done but give yourself some grace:)

i just want to say as a die hard feminist and a girl who has been victim of a lot of misogyny in my life I am really grateful that you have changed and I am sending you love❤️ your past does not define you no matter what your trauma says

If zuko can be fully redeemed then so can you. The person you used to be does not change what you are doing now

As long as you don’t believe it now you’re 100% in the clear. You changed, congratulations. Changing for the better is all we can do as people.
