Recently, I unfortunately came across the issues regarding @AmorAltra . He's been under fire for pedophilic behavior, association with a discord pedo, nsfw drawings of minors, and much more bad stuff. It was very unpleasant for me to wake up to that, to be honest. Especially right after Christmas. Anyways, this hits hard for me because of how much I truly loved AmorAltra. He inspired me to be so much more than I was and he's the reason I'm in the community today. I didn't just love him, I idolized him.
Even though this drama is stirring, however, I'm not going to blindly follow the majority side. I genuinely think that Amor's actions could possibly be forgiven. If he seeks help, separates what he's done from who he is, and has the heart to change, I'd love to have him back.
I've never actually said it, but I don't like how this community deals with offenders like this. Take AetherDX for example. Because of pedophilic behavior, she was literally cast away from all corners of the community. Even if she could redeem herself, it'd be too late. It's like throwing a kid into time out and never letting them back. Not to mention, Amor didn't support Aether at ALL! Blu even went and confirmed that. He just wished that she could recover and reenter the modding community. What Aether did was horrible, but anyone can still change!
This community doesn't accept change, and that makes me sad. Amor's actions are horrible, but not unforgiveable. If he deletes the art and apologizes to Mini and the others for the problems he's created, apologizes for the way he treated his modding team, and apologized for his pedophilic behavior, then has the will to change who he is, then Amor could come back in a healthy and forgiving way.
That is called reasoning, and it's something this community simply doesn't do too much of.
I do not support AetherDX, A.G.O.T.I, Amor, or anyone else who's done these kinds of things, but I think they should at least be given a chance. And if they slip up again, let them change their actions.
A lot of people will disagree with me for this, but I just want to share my opinion.
What about you? Do YOU think you can forgive Amor?
