If my partner brought it up, then even the normies know about it, so unfortunately I think they have made a temporary victory with this one. But I think his good character will come out in the end. Cancel culture doesn’t seem to really stick nowadays for people who do deserve it so I doubt it will for someone who doesn’t.

It’s unrealistic to think I won’t be tricked again in the future but as long as I change my mind as new evidence comes out, I think it’s fine. And I think most people do that, so think he’ll be fine, too. They’ve hit him with other stuff before that have slid off, like that he’s antisemitic or supports Islamic terrorists or whatever.
