So... a little while ago, I posted this meme about Chadwick because I found it amusing.

I figured it was just due to him growing fatigued from being Black Panther all of the time, and just not having the enthusiasm. Obviously, there is another potential and more likely explanation for his apparent lack of vigor.

I feel bad now for posting it. Obviously I didn't mean any malice, but it's clearly less funny in retrospect. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson in the future to think more about what people may be going through before speaking.

I dont think you should blame yourself for anything there. It was just a funny meme. No one knew what was going on. 

That's kind of the point though. We don't know what people have going on, and should maybe consider those possibilities before commenting about them. 

In this case, since I doubt Chadwick ever visited my facebook, it probably didn't hurt anyone (although that doesn't necessarily make it ok), but there are other examples in my personal life that I could give, where I should have been more patient or understanding with people. 

Edit: Going to just respond to the next post as an edit, because it's getting a little off topic. But, personally, I'd rather err on the side of caution, and will try to refrain from jokes about changes in appearance and demeanor in the future, since those may very well be related to physical or emotional issues. Gotta follow my conscience, and you can follow yours.
