At that age, we tend to be a bit more naive than later in life. This does not make it excusable for the things she did. At age 12 and above, you start to learn that even words can be very hurtful. So if you do shit like her 10 years later, something is off very badly. That being said, we all learn and from my personal experience, a pregnancy can change people drastically. So I really hope for her and her son, that she moves on and does better in the future.

>Most of us are total morons at that age. Speak for yourself. I’ve known 12 yr olds with more maturity and learning about owning their actions, dealing with heavy shit like death, pronouns and minority rights than a 53 yr old just in this past year. Heck, just in the last month I was confronted with a child no older than 6 owning his mistakes and apologizing for it. No excuses. Part of the problem is allowing people to treat others like doormats, shirking responsibility over their actions brushing it off like an age, era and/or gender thing and this does nothing but create infighting over stupid shit like ageism. Be better than this. She can own she made a mistake like any fully functioning adult would.

A) While many of us are total morons at that age about a lot of things, by that point in your life most people know not to be hateful toward others. Even so, I will concede that we should be more forgiving of the things she said. B) The point is not that she was too young to know what she said was wrong. The point is that she dated Elon while he was publicly and outwardly a batshit crazy Nazi. It's one thing for the other women who dated him when he was better at hiding how crazy he was, but this child was conceived AFTER he did the Nazi salute multiple times on stage in public. At 23 years old you should know not to date a literal Nazi.
