[UPDATE: Wow there is a lot of cognitive dissonance going on in the comments, it's crazier than I believed possible! And worse, even though my article has NOTHING to do with my opinion of United, some of the anger has turned to me. Someone even accused me of siding United because my husband is American. Lol! Let me state as clearly as possible: United is ABHORRENT and nothing excuses their behavior, and Dr Dao's past is irrelevant. Please STOP repeating that point because that much is fucking obvious. My article is just addressing the anger and discomfort people are experiencing when news appear that disrupts their narrative, and finding whatever excuse they possibly can to still keep their already sealed opinion that United=Villain and Dr Dao=Good Guy. Among the absurd excuses is that Daily Mail is victim shaming to help United.... Yup, that explains why Daily Mail wrote a dozen super nasty articles about United just yesterday. 😒 if you find yourself feeling angry at me, ask yourself why. I already said I think United is completely at fault. Why would you be angry at me? COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. Google it jeez]
Experience cognitive dissonance as it happens! We all have it in our minds that the victim of United was a loving grandfatherly doctor who was rushing to help his patients, and he is victimized by the evil conglomerate that's United.
It is super uncomfortable as our brain process that he is actually an unethical doctor who paid for gay sex by illegally prescribing drugs, and after being caught with his pants down still denies it.
After my brain nudged me "is this for real? He doesn't seem like that sort of person, maybe daily mail is lying." - I took a double take and realized what was going on. Why wouldn't I believe the article? I would believe it (like 80%) for any other random person they report about, why is Dr Dao any different? I barely knew anything about him!
Then I realized it is because it feels very uncomfortable to know that my established opinion that I was rooting for the right team (dr dao vs United) might be... well not wrong but not as right as i thought it was.
Of course, Dr Dao being a shady doctor has no bearing on the assholeyness of United. But it would just feel a lot better to hate on United if he is an all around swell guy, instead of a scary criminal sort.
What do you guys think? Did you feel uncomfortable when you read about the real Dr Dao, or is your cognitive dissonance so strong that you think daily mail is completely lying?
(Not that daily mail is very trustworthy but I trust that they did basic research over these info otherwise they are confirm gonna be sued)
