For me all three: Masterson, AK and MK well deserved to be cancelled. Forever.
If the latter two were random people who never got anywhere close to the topic of sexual abuse then maybe, maybe that could be excused by lack of basic empathy and not being the brightest bulbs in the shed.
But they are both well aware, even involved. And that, for me makes it so, so much worse.
Some good they've done? Possibly. But now the damage is kinda irreparable IMO.
If the ones who were supposed to fight for the victims are okay with saying that perp shouldn't be sentenced too harshly cause he was always such a cool guy to them then they're obviously missing a point.
IF Masterson was a person truly worthy of receiving voices of support then these voices could easily include description of the immense progress he has made since he commited these crimes: so therapy, countless examples of attempts to fix at least some damage that he made, (while staying far, far away from the victims)... SOMETHING.
Instead... their wording tells me terrible things about THEM.
There are three types of people who are gettin heavily involved in charitable initiatives and social work:
1. The good ones, the best ones, the ones who really care and can't stand the injustice and pain of others.
2. The good ones, who want to help and would be supporting others no matter what, but their heavy involvement is more the matter of filling some sort of void in them,
3. And the bad ones, those who use that to hunt for victims in their most vulnerable moments or trying to silence their conscience, cause of the things they've done themselves or allowed to happen while they were able to stop it.
