Luckey can express/support anything he desires and that's fine for him -- however ignorant his views are. But it's another thing to say we shouldn't call him out on it.
Of course. But call him out for what exactly? That he liked a Tweet? That he supports Trump?
And by calling out, you mean public shaming him for his beliefs. I see it on my FB feed everyday - "look at this idiot Trump supporter". Or from the other side - "these libt_rds actually believe this stuff".
Remember when Viralnova made big bucks making cute cat pics go viral? We don't see them anymore because media outlets have figured that outrage gets more clicks, and the results are so unhealthy for our discourse.
On Twitter right now, a million person witch-hunt is in full swing, calling for the virtual expulsion of a person for beliefs it has been inferred he holds.
No point in letting Luckey explain himself, of course. That would take too long and we're outraged now!
It's not just his tweets, likes, or his support of Trump. It's proven in detail now that he is actively funding a fringe alt-right group that peddles bigoted/racist/xenophobic crap.
Most of us want to live in a world that says this is not ok.
