   ...People have a weird hatred sometimes of companies going into what they dub 'damage control' 
   
   Like...being angry at the original incident? Makes sense, if something shitty happened.  
   
   Being angry at the company publicly apologizing on the grounds of..."damage control is bad" 
   
   How can you have the opinion that the original event was crappy, but apologizing for it is...also crappy?
   
   Like...do you really just hate businesses that much that no matter what you'll hate them? (The answer is yes, probably)

      @katiekats I think a lot of that comes from a place of feeling they're being very insincere with the apology.  They aren't actually apologetic, they just want the PR problems to go away.

         @katiekats Like how Channel Awesome responded to a series of allegations of sexual misconduct by saying "we're sorry they [the creators making the accusations] felt that way."
         
         That's not really being all that fuckin sorry.

            Oh, I'm talking about genuine apologies in this case.
            
            Or, well, as genuine as it can look. Where they're actually properly apologizing to those affected and not half-blaming them.

               @katiekats Has there been a single instance of a genuine apology from a big corporation?  I sure as hell can't think of one.
