Who is seen as a ‘bad guy’ in history but was actually ok?

I'm sure you won't like what I'm about to say, but I'm ashamed of you and anyone else who refuses to take 5 damn minutes of your life to look up information to verify it for its accuracy.

For decades, people like you kept pushing the false agenda regarding Reubens. While I absolutely hated the character PeeWee, I admired Reubens for being different in an age where everyone was trying to be different.

He stood up for gay rights, and was mercilessly ridiculed for it. He was an advocate to dismiss the bullshit spreading due to AIDS, and was one of the few actors Princess Diana thanked for his determination.

All this because some shithead couldn't separate his personal life from his TV show while screaming "SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"

I can't imagine how these fucking morons go through life, honestly. They spent so much time trying to connect imaginary dots to children and "PeeWee" they never once stopped to think pretty much everyone jerks it.

I despise these people.

Oh, and I'm not ashamed of you. I don't blame you or anyone else one bit for carrying this false information.

That's how much I hate these people. They were so effective, you did believe it.

That... is just shit.
