How is taking a person who describes himself as "us hebephiles" a huge leap? Either people say what they mean or they don't.
If they don't, then you also have to give a pass to every conservative off-hand remark that got their career derailed.

Genuine question. Are you familiar with the concept of jokes?
Again, I am not saying it is a good joke, or a funny joke, or an appropriate joke, or a joke that should merit employment from BuzzFeed, or any such thing. I am simply saying it was intended as a joke. Do you genuinely believe that the point of that post was to earnestly petition the president?

Sure, okay, pass given.

I'm sure he's just riffing, right?
Again - if you wanted to argue that Broderick's posts were in bad taste, sure, that's a defensible argument (and I might even agree with you). But that's not what you said. You said he's a self-proclaimed hebephile.
Of course, I don't expect everyone to be familiar with 4chan-style humor. Oprah once earnestly warned her viewers about a message she received about "over 9000 penises": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7liYfhRgXGk Last month, Congressional candidate Regina Marston started reporting the Navy SEAL copypasta to the FBI: https://twitter.com/samosu_/status/1224169132410753024 But if you're running a popular DNS host and writing books about how to protect yourself from cancel culture... yes, I expect you in particular to understand what's going on here, and I stand by my claim that you're not a credible voice.
They couldn’t. They don’t. Its not worth talking about beyond that.
