While I will often stand by my criticisms I will first at least like to say that if I have personally offended you in some way then I am sorry, It's important that at least some air is cleared so that we can remove some personal bias and tensions from the current discussion:
I'm presuming that you've already heard of this #educateanime movement that I've set off, and another large part of me worries that, due to the fact I have wronged you in some way, you'll automatically be against the movement through what you've heard it's apparently about or because you've seen more of what it is and have automatically set yourself to hate it either way because of my involvement. Such a stance is understandable and arguably deserved, that's why I'm going to ask a huge favour, and I know I have no right to ask it due to past conflicts but I feel it's important for the community that you hear me out:
I need you to remove your personal response to me from this movement, look at the movement itself from an educated, researched, and rational point of view and make your decision about it based on personal moral stances rather than thinking about who's involved to make the decision for you.
Right now the only thing that fully explains what the movement is without any misinterpretation is the hour-long livestream I recently did to answer questions. The movement is broad and complex and far more than 150 characters can answer. Yes, the discussion is long, but it covers all angles, is not diluted, and attempts to eliminate gaps for misinterpretation which, sadly caught us out in the first 24 hours where the whole thing was rather misrepresented. It's important that you at least spend time thinking about the issue, yes, an hour is long, but it's what's needed for a full, rational understanding of the current state of things.
If it makes you feel any better then please remember that by supporting the movement you are not directly supporting me, and if you want to still keep me out of your lives you can do that and still be involved. I just want to make sure that those who are against the movement in any way have reasons more validated than simply my past mistakes; if you come out of the whole thing still morally against it then there's nothing I can do, but if an hour of your time does convince you or at least make you understand the thing as a whole then we'd all be very happy for your support and grateful for your help.
