to everyone i’ve hurt and offended, i’m writing this apology with deep regret and shame. i want to take full responsibility and acknowledge the harm caused by this secret youtube account that i created and operated. the content shared through that platform was offensive, racist, homophobic, and hateful. there is no excuse for it, and i want to be clear: i was wrong. i wanted the attention.
my actions contributed to a culture of discrimination, exclusion, and pain. i said and promoted things that were not only deeply hurtful, but also reinforced systems of hatred that far too many people have to face every day. i am also taking accountability for using another girl’s picture and claiming it was me. i demeaned others, and in doing so, i betrayed the basic principles of respect, dignity, and humanity.
i am ashamed of what i said and did, both publicly and behind the veil of anonymity. while it was a secret account, the damage it caused was real. words matter, and the things i put into the world were destructive. i know that simply deleting the account or apologizing isn’t enough to undo the hurt i caused, but i want to begin the process of taking accountability and making amends.
i recognize that this apology cannot erase the impact of my actions. i have harmed people who are already too often targeted and marginalized in society. i have contributed to unsafe spaces within our community.
