With all due respect, I think that's pretty human.
1) I have a "feel good" moment where a young man publicly says he's going to step away from to me a dream job to take care of his mental health. I think -- good for him and very brave too. I hope his journey takes him to a better spot. I communicate that out loud because I really do wish the best for him.
2) Almost immediately thereafter, I find out that the cause of his mental health issues is fear over being arrested, losing his career, and (one would hope) guilt over the fact that at best he was involved in a gang sexual event in which a young lady was used, penetrated, had genitals waived in /on her face, spit on, ejaculated on, and slapped.
Average person is going to feel like they were made a fool of, and be angry over that. They just are.
No one likes to feel empathy and sympathy for someone who behaves in a way that is abhorrent and completely at odds with your ethics and morals.
And I ain't some holy roller do gooder, either. I just don't train/abuse/use women. And before you congratulate me on that, let's just remember It's Not A High Bar to attain.
