They both hang out with children all day. One exploits sexuality. The other exploits labor. Reynolds has a more likeable persona, so nobody cares when he grooms kids for labor or uses racial slurs and gets punched in the face.
Shit happened 20 years ago, get a life.

what if it was Trump? I don't believe you and your double standards ( I'm white and I don't care if he says the N word for a living..)
I'm confused. You care that someone doesn't care that Reynolds used racial slurs some twenty years ago, but you don't care that Reynolds used racial slurs some twenty years ago?

Yes, of course. But I was going to introduce that bit of information to him later on; to see if his commitment to not-caring is different for a real versus an imagined scenario. I suspect that whether something has actually happened or not is irrelevant for the act of not-caring in his thinking (theoretical/abstracted not-caring is the same as practical not-caring). He's already argued that the person who is doing the not-caring, and the context in which the not-caring occurs, is irrelevant, so not-caring is clearly not a 'practice' to him; so much so that I think his philosophy of not-caring is steeped in classical Rationalism (not-caring is an exercise that exists outside of any empirical inquiry or sensory experience of the physical, and takes the form of an individual's logical, deductive reasoning). I think this is best reflected in his earlier statement 'I don't believe you and your double standards', which points towards a Rationalist preoccupation with arriving at a universal, absolute concept of not-caring (against which illogical, false not-caring can be counterposed). He doesn't care about someone not-caring about something that didn't happen, but he does care about the way that that not-caring was established; if someone's not-caring about something that didn't happen is arrived at by any other means than a complete (empirical) disengagement with that something that didn't happen, than that not-caring is not really not-caring, but is actually caring. And he absolutely fucking despises people who care. "Scum", he once told me, "sub-human scum".
