And it feels very naive to believe that people change just because they are called out on it and they have to say so to save whatever is left of their reputation. It is even more naive to believe so when the guy hasn’t improve a tiny bit.

Saying that he improved and we should just shut up about it just because he said so, it is literal gaslighting dressed in “just put the other cheek” masochism and giving green light to abuser just because they lie about their supposed improvement

I didn’t tell you told you to “shut up”, I’ve pointed out some of the the flaws/harm in your method of criticism. Others in this thread have also tried to help you understand the issue here. It’s up to you whether you choose to accept it and focus your energy on other topics. Nobody is going to force you.

Ultimately, people do improve. Look inward. Hove you ever improved? If so, realize others can, too. Linus Torvald has, by accounts of people who know and work with him, as did the other examples I gave.

All the best to you and yours.
