The Internet doesn't forget, so everyone can be branded mysogynist/mysandry/pedophile/etc.. just by making mistakes or having taken quotes out of context. Peopl

  it's not out of context. you can read his own posts.

    Yeah, his comments were absolutely disgusting. People here are acting like the media is railroading him. No, he was quite literally defending child rape.

    In my original post, 'making mistakes' was put before 'out of context', the Internet doesn't allow anyone to have a 2nd chance of doing anything. Once you are branded as something, it will stuck with you forever, erasing any previous achievement or contribution you have done. And I don't like that.

      He has had hundreds of chances. He was first called out ten years ago. It took a really long time for him to convince this many people that he was a pox upon our industry. I respect the level of effort and commitment to being actively destructive to the community that he put in to the project.

      To get a second chance you need to realize what you did wrong and apologize (at least that the standard I set for kids). Until that I assume he's still just as bad as when he made the "mistake.

  The internet _does_ forget though. Brendan Eich was forced out of Mozilla, a project he co-founded, and now nobody seems to bat an eye at him being at Brave.

    No one bats an eye about Brendan Eich because he did nothing wrong
