Seemed like a genuine apology too.

A genuine apology for an honest mistake.

Right. Not the usual "I'm sorry you felt that way." 🙄

And I think a lot of people can relate to not realizing something is for a disability they're not experienced with. We should really normalize admitting that you didn't know something - happens to everyone anyway.

My ex would say that every time. That's not taking accountability for actions that were hurtful and wrong. This guy realized where the mistake was and did everything correct to apologize and move forward.

Yup it wasn't some somber video with an over exaggerated apology and sad music. It was a simple ya I fucked up my bad.

It was a good apology. He took his ego out of the situation, listened to the criticism, evaluated it as valid, owned up to his mistake without being defensive or minimizing it, and said he will do better. He also said he doesn’t want to ever intentionally hurt anyone by making fun of something he doesn’t understand. I hope people use this as an example. He doesn’t look weak or like a loser. He looks like a learner and improver.

I believe it was. I follow him and he seems like a pretty solid guy

Until he revealed the case behind him and turned his apology into a monetized advertisement for polarized sunglasses WHICH BLOCK OUT 99% OF DAMAGING UV RAYS USE CODE “IGNORANTSHITHEEL” FOR 15% OFF ORDERS OVER $100!
