Jesse Gender has the best take on it, because there is a bit of nuance since Weir did apologize for some of it, but only for the parts that might affect his ability to write TV or movies. Not for apparently being friends with Critical Drinker, inviting him to premiere, talking up his book and going through anti-woke talking points with him.

Yikes. There's only a handful of channels I block on YouTube and Critical Drinker is one of them. I'm good not paying money for this movie. Yo ho, yo ho.

Oof, that's not great. The critical drinker is such a loser shit-heel.

yeah the only thing i've found is soundbites and others adding "woke" to what he said, and him apologising for those things. i don't know what the podcast is but if that's the only thing people seem to be talking about it doesn't seem like the other stuff can be worse, right?

i'll watch jessie's video, i usually like her stuff even if we disagree on a lot of things.
