Honestly? Respect for this. The organization is a good thing, and he realized the move he did was stupid and would impact the org, so he stepped away. Good move, after all of the bad moves he made prior. This makes it more believable that the move he did regarding Masterson was just a dumb, personal driven move without much thought behind it.

they really left him no choice. at least he didn't leave kicking and screaming (as far as we know), that's good. i highly doubt he made this decision though, and i'm sure they made it for him/them.

To be fair, he did make a rather lengthy statement that basically amounted to "I'm a fucking dumbass," which is a lot more than most do.

I always thought this as well, I mean they all known each other for so long.

The organization isn't good tbh. They're a surveillance organization who targets consensual sex workers and were big supporters of FOSTA. They've targeted a lot of consenting adults, and that shouldn't be okay. It's no surprise one of its founders supports a serial rapist.

Oh. I hadn't heard that. That's a bummer.

EDIT: If that's true, I take back everything I said.

Yeah. Dude is an asshole. You can't say you care about stopping child sex abuse, and then support a rapist after his conviction.

Honestly, it throws fuel onto the fire I've had burning of "celebrities actually only give a shit about themselves and only do good things to be praised for doing good things."

Also, I wouldn't be shocked if the rest of the board told him "you can go the nice quiet way, or we can drag out your public shaming by loudly throwing you out. Your choice." Sort of like how a lot of CEOs and politicians will face a scandal and then resign before the shareholders/public demand their forcible removal.

The most obnoxious part of all of this is they still have people supporting them on social media.

Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences,

I think their apology video would've been better received if he said shit like this instead of just expressing regret that the letters went public

Yeah, it was less an apology and more "you weren't supposed to find out'

I wouldn't give him a pass, but there comes a point where you can't continue to drag a guy through the mud.

It wasn't much an apology but a come-clean "I fucked up" and this adds to it. He's not redeeming himself, but it's pretty much a gesture of him perhaps folding in hopes there's enough done said to leave him be. He admitted it and broke ties in order to try to satisfy the discontent highlighting his hypocrisy.
