I remember having that moment! Not with the gorilla but my friend treated women poorly, nothing physically abusive or nothing but he cheated on many of them.
I then told my friend, "yeah, but he's still a good guy". I mean, he was to me ... and if you're not in a relationship with him he's fun? :P
I kinda stopped staying friends with these guys. They're toxic to be around.
I even had a friend that told me he was abusive to his girlfriends and I'm like, dude I really think you wanna be the man your daugthers look up to. But he kept it going and I couldn't chill with him any more.
I dunno. I watch Vaush, I watch Hasan. I watch Sam Seder. Please don't kill me but I watch some of PirateSoftware too (yes I know how much Lemmy hates him).
I'm not gonna defend their views, I can't/won't. I generally wanna hear their takes from their perspectives (as flawed as they could be).
I also don't see that even if I disagree with their views that I'd want to say negative things about them being detained as I don't think any of them have asked for it? Like, I'd be cheering if Joe Rogan got detained and bullied. The reason being he endorsed this type of stuff so it's sweet watching someone get a taste of their own medicine.
