Lou previously asked to be held accountable for his actions, IIRC. He wanted his friends to do it, of course (and therefore to not actually be held accountable). I think he doesn't understand what accountability actually means.View attachment 2048013

Lou, I'll say it again. Pepper gets away with being a dickbag because he also does good things too, and he's generally pleasant to deal with and he writes fun songs. See, people forgive folks who they can get something out of faster than they forgive people like you who, if forgiven, just go right back to what they were doing. For all of your words of apology, you go right back to abusing people the first chance you get. When you're in a bad mood or need to feel superior to someone because you've got your panties in a twist for some reason you message random people and insult them. When someone looks over your feed it's either you lecturing Undertale Larper (bet he loves that. Wonder why he avoids talking to you on Telegram these days?), using the same 'stimky!' joke at your fox friend, or you butting into a discussion you weren't invited to where you share your very limited number of gifs off to show your razor sharp wit.
In case you need a tl;dr, Pepper gets away with being an asshole because he's funny, and he creates fun things. Lou, you don't get away with being an asshole because that's ALL you are: an asshole. You create nothing, you offer nothing, you aren't even nice to talk to. You just take and consume and demand more.
No one is attempting to hold him accountable by signing him up for right wing newsletters. That's asinine. He's either done that to himself or he's lying about it for sympathy. The accountability for his behavior is coming in the form of people declining to interact with him because he's shown, repeatedly, that he's not inclined to change his behavior. He expects "I'm sorry" to be sufficient to sweep it under the rug, and that's not the case with adults.
The reason that Pepper Coyote experiences forgiveness where Lou doesn't is that his apologies come from a place of sincerity. He makes meaningful efforts to learn from the bad behaviors that he's apologizing for, and to change for the better. His popularity does a lot to help smooth ruffled feathers, but as is evidenced with 2 Gryphon, feathers can only be ruffled so many times and in so many directions before your popularity no longer bolsters your apologies.
