    I’m gonna copy one of my comments from last time:

    As a person involved in creative works, I don’t think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they’re brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.

    On a personal level, I don’t really have as much to fear from that because I’ve never been a hater (though I’ve certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.
