What if it turns out he DID attend NAMBLA meetings? What if it turns out he is/was a child molester?

As of right now (7/23/18) I believe him when he says he didn't "live those actions" or however he phrased it. I believe he thought he was being provocatively funny. Though I don't defend his horrible humor, it's still just jokes.

But as much as I am defending him now, if it turns out he IS guilty of such disgusting things, then I will do a serious about face and condemn him as strongly as I possibly can.

Thoughts?

The fact that there is always the possibility if it being true is why I believe that petitions such as the ones in the link will not change anything. Disney is about trying to present a clean, family welcoming image and having somebody who has made such comments publicly is not welcomed - it doesn't matter if he was 100% joking, it doesn't matter how much he has changed since then, Disney doesn't want that on their shoulders and had him be fired. They wouldn't want to risk re-hiring him for Marvel Studios.

Why did they hire him in the first place when they must have known about the tweets already?
