“‘Cos he sort of comes down, ready for breakfast, and Colin’s wearing an apron, and Taron’s got his little t-shirt on… and we thought people might misunderstand what the scene is all about.” – Matthew Vaughn
”Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn told [MTV UK] that he had to cut one particularly debonair scene from his outrageous, brilliant spy action comedy because it, well, made its stars Taron Egerton and Colin Firth look like they’d been sleeping together.
It’s an explanation that even Taron didn’t know about, if his reaction is anything to go by.” via MTV UK
It’s completely, 100% natural and should always be acceptable to change your opinions.
It shouldn’t be embarrassing.
You shouldn’t have to pretend you were never wrong about anything and that you’ve always felt the same way about everything.
You didn’t catch someone being a “hypocrite” when some older post of theirs conflicts with a new one. The simplest explanation is that they learned or reconsidered something.
The ability to evolve your understanding of things should be something to celebrate and respect. How did we end up with this shitty fucking culture where a change of perspective is treated like a shameful flaw.
charlie and the chocolate factory was supposed to be an allegory of privilege about a poor black kid who inherited the chocolate factory against rich white kids
also granpa joe’s enthusiasm to go with charlie makes a lot more sense now if he lived through poverty and racism and never had any such opportunity

FINALLY AN ACTUALLY DECENT REASON FOR A REBOOT, HOLLYWOOD
H.P Lovecraft, 1936, The Shadow Over Innsmouth: I cannot even begin to describe the abominable results of the unspeakable unions between humans and the monstrosities that lurk in the depths of the Stygian abyss. Our language is mercifully unable to convey the horror spawned by these crimes against all which is good and right in the world, the awful truth made evident by those bulging, unblinking eyes and nauseating rubbery skin.
Guillermo Del Toro, 2017, The Shape Of Water: So, there’s this woman and there’s this fishman. They’re gonna love each other and fuck, just fyi.
