I'm far from understanding exactly what you find so sleazy about him then?

I feel like if I have to explain this, you prolly won't get it.
That he was an older guy surrounded by a harem of younger “girlfriends”? Or that he had a sex grotto in his mansion?

“Hugh Hefner” the personality may have been perceived as sleazy, but I’m sorry I never had a chance to speak with Hugh Hefner the entrepreneur and media magnate. I’m sure the public/private differences would have been glaring.

More that he was promoting a what I would call a neo aristocratic lifestyle and that this sort of lifestyle was something to aspire towards. I don't care about what he did in his life, but I do care about him promoting it.
Well, probably for the better. Doesn't seem exactly on topic for HN anyways. I'll just make my cheeky assumptions. Pun intended ;p
