The transphobic accusations are wild. He is incredibly supportive of transexuals, openly voicing his support on Facebook and Reddit all the time. That kind of goes to show how heavily weaponized and dishonest those types of bigotry accusations have become. I do think he complains an awful lot for a guy who has lived a charmed life, but from everything I've seen, he's an open-minded, progressive, liberal, accepting, and loving person. He's definitely the kind of person who should be considered an ally to the LGBTQ+ communities.
Yeah I've never got that kind of bad vibe from him. I also left out the part where he even touched on how privileged his life is and how grateful he is for that or how he said him being harassed for being transphobic is nothing like what LGBTQ+ people have to go through.
It's really shitty as it'd be cool to have someone like him showing up randomly on Lemmy like other celebs kind of do on Reddit (Arnold Schwarzenegger only one coming to mind at the moment).
Maybe he will give it another shot someday but I guess I don't see there ever not being a huge group of people waiting to harass him.
Yeah just figured I'd mention it since it became a bit more relevant to include that he wrote it.
I agree with you.
