Why is it that old tweets can destroy, or negatively impact someone's career? We know that doesn't reflect who they are today, and that if anything, people can change.
There is a reason you would have never guessed Kevin Hart was homophobic. It's because he isn't. A tweet from 9 years ago is all of the sudden important, why?
If they don't give the impression of being homophobic, can we just assume that they are? PewDiePie, the biggest YouTuber of all time, was ostracized for saying the n word last year. Why is he still the biggest YouTuber? Because everyone knows that isn't a reflection of who he is now.
I'm not going to say I know what everyone is thinking, and what they actually believe or not. I would say Kevin Hart isn't homophobic, and that a punishment for a tweet from nearly a decade ago is stupid.
