Name any widely revered person; basically every one of them has serious flaws.
Besides, you can honor an act without endorsing the entirety of the person. Lovecraft was an amazing writer and also a frothing racist.

- pessimizer 11y agoSpecifically: the heroism of Hogan sleeping with his best friend's wife while being secretly videotaped by his best friend, then suing the company that published excerpts from the video and winning in court - admiration for that should overwhelm his casual racism? I think saying that he's a hero for hopefully taking down Gawker was meant as hyperbole, because Gawker is awful. Hogan was simply acting in his own interest at all times.
