IDK what your problem is dude. Just because the guy is rich we should treat him like he's an evil shitlord?

I guess in that same vein of logic it's alright if I start calling you a pedophile because you're probably a while male between the ages of 25-45.

is that alright with you, pedophile?

King pedo is 80 so don’t be ageist now.

(Not the previous poster) The real issue is that pretty much as always when this comes up, nobody is really defending Gaben. But to some people, just pointing out that something isn't quite logical or true, is the same as "giving them the benefit of the doubt", because it's doesn't meet their sky high criteria of negativity for the subject.

The truth doesn't matter to them, but how negative you are about it. If you're not personally crafting the guillotine for Gaben, you are a fanboy. It's frustrating, since I do think we all agree at the end of the day that Gabe should be held to high standards due to his wealth, and he should face incredibly scrutiny if he should tilt.

agreed. wealth comes with a whole set of responsibilities just like if a person becomes a celebrity.

IMO he's just a dude running a business and as long as he's following the laws and paying his fair share of taxes, I can't ask for more. I can't ask for more because that's all I expect out of myself.

would I like to be as rich as he is? sure! would I be more philanthropic with my wealth? I'd like to think so. I would also do so anonymously, because true charity is faceless and is undeserving of publicity. could be Gabe does something similar.

my point is, I can support him not because I'm a fanboy. I support him because the bar is set so low for wealthy individuals that simply existing without being a power hungry piece of shit pedophile is enough.
