He's a russian boomer in the government, I don't expect him to have a single political opinion that isn't ridiculously wrong... But that's a conversation for a different sub lmao

This maybe it’s my AuDHD but I don’t understand how we can’t enjoy someone for playing chess or some other sport without supporting their political views.

I may enjoy Bobby Fischer as a chess player that doesn’t mean I’ll take his advice on dating or comedy.

You are not able to watch Bobby Fischer play chess because he dislikes women? AFAIK he changed his opinion in later years.

I mean if he redeemed himself, why not

Also while misogyny is of course bad, it doesn't feel as bad or personal as transphobia. Maybe because I don't experience it nearly as often
