I agree that this article does seem to lump some behaviors together of wildly different severity. But when the job is managing and monitoring the safety of children in a massive online space, it seems reasonable, nay necessary, to judge them by a high standard. It doesn't have to be a crime, or even inherently bad, to be a red flag.
In this case, I find it very strange that the head of Roblox's Trust & Safety department didn't think twice about following indecent accounts on public social media account. Even stranger still, that a company who pretends to value the safety of children either didn't bother with a basic background check, or saw it and went "yeah, this guy's got good judgement."
I've got nothing against people publicly endorsing/following these things, but I'd expect this dude to have enough discretion to recognize that many parents would object, and keep it on a private account like a normal person.
Heads of PR for major companies have been fired for a heck of a lot less.
