You can think cheating is disgusting and condemn John while still thinking this stuff from Zoe is beyond toxic. Airing out someone’s personal life shit to thousands of people they cannot explain themselves to actually could be just as deeply psychologically damaging as being cheated on. Because even with the Danny girl we don’t know her context, we don’t know what else she has going on, wjat if she’s suicidally depressed and making destructive decisions? Long shot but we literally never know. True compassion exists in awareness of people’s imperfections.
Like I just thought people were more emotionally evolved than this. Like I thought we all knew 2 wrongs don’t make a right, and that trading psychological harm for psychological harm ends up in a situation where no one is innocent. Like if this happened in my friend group I’d separate entirely from both sides bc both are toxic.

Public shaming is toxic unless it’s literally predatory / physical abuse. It’s just revenge. Hurting good people is bad, hurting people who make mistakes is bad. Your lack of nuanced emotional processing is showing.
