jokes about bill maher being a creep feel hack but as a white man of mediocre intellect and accomplishments whose politics are probably less radical than I believe them to be I'm upset with how Bill Maher misrepresents our vibrant community

As someone who fucked up and then was denied any opportunity to apologize or atone (quite possibly by people who feared the outcome you describe) I still hold out hope that redemption and true accountability can coexist. But I also see why it would be easy to assume bad faith.

i'm sure that's delicious but posting it is a form of violence

Also, if you're carrying around a lot of heinous shit in your head, that impairs your judgment about what's okay in the real world. Most humans sand off cognitive dissonance and it's not realistic to expect someone to be constantly critiquing their own thoughts.
