Goulding swiftly rejected the sentiment, replying: “Girl, no thank you. We don’t tolerate any anti LGBTQ+ in the fandom. I know you are better than this.”

    I think this might be a regional euphemism thing. Like when Southern people say "Bless Their Heart" instead of "Fuck that guy". "I know you're are better than this" is a polite and inviting way of saying "No way you're that ignorant".

    I like thinking of it as, "if you're really not better than this, pretend you are because that's embarrassing for you and all your friends"
