well I can understand that *now* but it really truly felt like a “get out of jail free” card for some people, using it to refuse to change behaviors/become stagnant
while not everyone was doing that, sure, it felt like a lot of people *were* and the original message (which was powerful and needed) got bastardized into something else entirely unfortunately
