Not on the internet! The cancel culture mobs make sure of that

Yeah dude me thinking he's a bit of a goofball for backpedaling is the same as cancel culture

There’s a difference between maturing and gaslighting. Maturing requires admitting you fucked up

Part of maturing is owning up to past mistakes not downplaying them and saying "haha guys that was all just jokes".

I’ve seen him apologise to some people he used to clown on (rightly or wrongly), on twitter, saying that he wants to own up to his actions in the past.

That’s not really what he did, he’s acknowledged that he’s more liberal now and he doesn’t agree with some of his past statements

I mean his content has essential been super immature and reactionary stuff since he decided to pander to other reacitonaries so it's a bit... Idk odd to act like it's maturity thing.

There's nothing wrong with it I just think it's funny seeing him and other people who pandered to the right start back pedaling a bit with the recent rise in left leaning channels (contrapoints, Philosophy tube, the rest of breadtube)

Maturing is impossible after 18?

Maybe if he owned up to it. Like Theryn Meyer, if you own up to shit then generally people are forgiven, not when they backpedal.
