> are not "taking responsibility" to the slightest degree

They’re not atoning to the internet’s satisfaction. But they are taking responsibility by saying as much.

The infantilism charge is accurate. Taking responsibility doesn’t require symbolic atonement like standing in a corner. Recognition is sufficient. If they deleted that line, would anyone be satisfied?

What does responsibility mean without consequences? The consequences here are all for people who bear none of the responsibility.

The problem is, you do not like their actions. And that's perfectly fine!

However, no matter what they say here, what platitudes, what attempts to comfort(or lack!), you will still find fault with the words.

Stop complaining about the words, and people will stop arguing with you over them. The words are unimportant.

Instead, complain solely about the act, leave the words out of it.

Empty? Yes.

Enraging? That's your personal choice.
