I don't care abut the royals generally but I think this is a distinctive kind of not caring. Non-royalist Twitter seems very interested in the interview.

I care enough about the Royal Family to fervently hope for their destruction but, other than that, I don't have any interest in watching an interview with some worthless rich moron trying to cover their back.

it's fine to not care about it before you hear the details of the interview or watch it at which point it's not-okay to not-care about it.

If you watched it then posting that you don't care about it seems like you don't care about abuse. If you didn't watch it it seems like the same but you are telling people that you don't care about the abuse you didn't hear about. Neither stance is a good stance, alba ffs.

& it's nothing to do with royalists. It's to do with not aligning yourself with a clear abuser.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Sunday, 17 November 2019 02:50 (four years ago) link
to be clear - this is a very bad thing to make a public (ilx is public) statement about "not caring" about it.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Sunday, 17 November 2019 02:52 (four years ago) link
sorry to go on but publically stating that you don't care about this is not good. try to take yourself out of the internet bubble for a bit.

If you watched it then posting that you don't care about it seems like you don't care about abuse.
that "seems" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

If there's more to be gained from watching the interview than watching the him unconvincingly deny Virginia Giuffre's testimony it hasn't felt that way from the coverage (either on Twitter or from the media reports I've seen)

No worries. A 3am jed special. Apologies if I sounded like I was dismissing the whole case.

Thanks Alba - Sorry to Tom D also.

There is something weird about this Mr. Rogers revival. Seeing Hanks in the trailer in the makeup and garb, it just looks very very creepy & I won't go near that film

There's nothing weird about the Mr. Rogers revival, really, imo. It's an attempt at course correction, people seeking a sane and centered alternative to the extremes gnawing at the edges of our everyday.
The Tom Hanks movie, though, is def weird, I'll grant you.

Judging by social media, I care far less about viral videos of humans risking their lives to save animals than many of my friends. In fact, I guess I do care insofar as I find this idiotic behavior rather than heart-warming.

it WAS really weird and stupid that it even became a thing though. like I could take or leave VH (mostly leave) but seriously, they're not the fucking Beatles. if she had zero familiarity with like the Stones or Prince or something I still personally wouldn't care but I could at least comprehend the incredulity.
