Hahahah, yeah. I've always felt like there were a lot of people who were "well someone has to play the bad guy" in public, but maybe had deeper, far more problematic feelings about in private. I remain floored to see this out in the open in this way. And yes, there are cases where someone has to play the bad guy and it is appropriate.

All of this also, somehow tangents into fancy dress parties and the seemingly regular parade of British public figures who get busted at such (or with prostitutes) while dressed up in SS uniforms. Among so many things that makes all this stuff so complicated is the places where it intersects with private desire and real history that people still alive recall.
