Platner has faced increased scrutiny surrounding now-deleted posts he made on Reddit where he dismissed military sexual assaults, questioned Black patrons’ gratuity habits and criticized police officers and rural Americans. Other posts showed Platner using homophobic slurs and making anti-LGBTQ+ jokes between 2018 and 2021.

Were those accidents too? He's clearly a scumbag with a pattern of shit behaviour. What good has he done to show he's changed, other than say so? Why would anyone believe what an ex-nazi says?

I'm dubious of this guy having changed, not that it's impossible, but it's not like that programming goes away overnight. We've seen similar to this before and got burned by it pretty badly.

He has said they were mistakes and he regrets shit posting online.

Haha, and I am a pineapple! Please believe me!

Do you doubt the apology? It's available online.

Yeah, I hadn't heard about those. That DOES change things quite a bit 😬
