No, you silly geese! He's not been cancelled, FFS!
He done a crime, and now, he doing time!
However, it were he words what done 'im in - always cases worth reading, imho!

(he'd better hope nobody enacts upon his cheeks what he threatened
he would upon those of his hated foe's wife - in front of their children, even! he might become... Christopher
CantGetWell! <- BOOM! prison rape

And just to retain sharp partisan lines in this veritable pressure cooker of ideological warfare, I will play the part of Literal Nazi forced to disown, with agonising difficulty, my fallen idol.
Aight, fuck it! Imma do it! Who it is this time?!
NAW! Thas my man!

BUT THATS MY NIGGA!

Well, but that's just it. You just listed two key cultural bellwethers as to how the issue had been perceived in the popular imagination up until then. You can toss in Eddie Murphy's career being utterly derailed for being caught with a transgendered prostitute in '97 for good measure. Somehow in the time it took us to go from PlayStation 1 to PlayStation 3, we'd transitioned from a world with zero (out) LGBTQ+ celebrities (or much of anything, really) in the mainstream, and Steve Gunderson being publicly outed by an opponent on the floor of Congress, to a world in which it was supposed to be universally understood as inexcusable to out a transgendered person.
Things have changed in mainstream Western culture, inarguably. I suppose Ace Ventura would make a nice Trans Horror Trifecta, though there's got to be at least a dozen more from the 90s alone. I remember seeing the Third
Naked Gun in the cinema, and at the big reveal, I was so busy looking at the character's tits I completely missed the enormous bent cock (w/diving board
"boing" Foley - obviously), as the place blew up.
Didn't Hugh Grant get "busted" similarly? (
EDIT: Oh wow, this is fractal of fucked - you know when you pun, but it was a genuine accident? "Busted" scare quotes meaning "Look at this Literal Hitler enjoying consensual activities with another adult!" But unfortunately, ALSO conjuring the image of Notting Hill Man with a face-full of egg whites. All up in he nice floppy hair!

I'm leaving this in - that's what he said, phwoaaar!

...born too late, Sengoku-san, I was born too late to make a killing writing shitty trans horror comedy

This shift in mainstream sensibilities isn't what interests me. I would say "isn't what perturbs me," but I am scarcely perturbed by even the most outlandish excesses of left
or right Western discourse. I will weather the reduced profile of surprise comic/horror cocks in blockbuster films, if that is the price to pay (disappearing existing, "problematic" works is another matter - I am against that on principle). At any rate, I go between the West and the Wild Wild West aka
Great2B.STR8sville at my leisure.
Rather, it's the theoretical overreach, to the point that questioning
*coof* privileged individuals about
*anything at all* is branded dishonest at best, murderous at worst. In her tick-like manner, everyone's favourite award-winning indie game developer and GamerGate survivor has granted a test case par excellence.

What happens when the cost of a sacred cow's scam is not a broken videogame, but a suspension bridge, or pacemaker, or airbag? I'm willing to charitably call these outlandish scenarios "overreach" and not "arriving at destination as intended, holy fuck knows for whose benefit" - though as noted, I've the liberty of Doc Browning back to the fifties, if it turns out this
was all a plan not to have sex, but to make good-faith statements such as "X
(arf! arf!) is a documented liar with none of the capabilities they profess to have, you have been warned" a hate crime. I hope it all works out, and none of you Anglomericano shumps friends get it given 2 you. I am very fond of you.

(Here's a
REAL hate crime:
Lumping my darling Juanita-chan in with The Other Two! ¦3 Juanita's not a scammer. She's a snake oil saleswoman, and a pretty capable one. While TOT siphons cash off gullible retards, Juanita gives her flock real, tangible amenities they crave - like shallow commentary on Batman's ass-cheeks, and Mandalorian bub-bub armour. You might as well chuck in Billy Graham. "But she dun deliver on time!" Bitch, you see the M2 Toaplan ports anywhere? You gonna throw
them under the bus too? Grow up son.

Also, while TOT makes my testes pre-emptively retreat, like a cartel snuff film - I'd happily bring Juanita off a dozen times while diligently RegalSinning her little Eurasian pussy, AND share my Cheetos with her after - confirming the traditional sexual dynamic of provider/receiver, firmly established in the preceding rogering! - while enjoying pillow talk about Batman's realistically flexing ass-cheeks, in Sunsoft's 1989 walljumping masterclass. So cool it with the Armenian Holocaust denials, ok
Pigs)
I'd hit this like Batman hits criminals in the face 
Quote:
I read the Dr. V article when it hit, and I remember it being more salacious than it is now, IIRC even implying that V had romantic relationships with some of the men the author tried to interview. I thought it was exploitative, but I didn't think it outside the realm of what I usually saw in mainstream reporting, which has always loved a sex scandal, the more unorthodox the better. In hindsight the critics were in the right, but mental health issues and suicides among transgendered populations were not widely understood at the time (I don't even know how much research had been done on the subject at the time). Heck, it was only in 2019 that transgender identities stopped being considered mental disorders by the World Health Organization.
I have always been grateful for the instruction that when litigating, excess is lethal. If it does not aid your case, leave it alone. Like any truism, this requires on-the-fly adaptations once it hits air, but it's served me well in my pointless, happy little life.
I think I've impugned the Dr. V writer, as (by his EIC's telling), his story's very pitch was "I took a wacky dive down the rabbithole of late-nite putter infomercials! You won't believe what happened next!!" In which case, I concur, salaciousness is to be expected. Much like a swift death at the hands of an unfamiliar coin-operated videogame, that is the business model (needless to say, a spectrum exists here).
It's not like he pitched a disciplined expose on the fabricated credentials of the scammer behind the Magic Putter. It sounds like those stories are a dime a dozen, going by what's written about the golf club industry in that article.
So my question becomes: "Did this story need to be told as-is?" And I'll give a reserved "No." Not because it's creepy tabloid schlock, although that's not a great look, but because it's red meat for certain very similar scammers' Patreons.
