In a way, the reason I am so cavalier about calling him out is because he reminds me so much of myself back when I used to be a Gamergate shithead, doing the same beating my hispanic identity into people's faces thing as a pretext to being aggressively toxic.
This is why the Gamergate comparison is apt, and I stand by it. The question now is, what will it take for him to grow out of it?

That's also why it affects me so much, it reminds me so much of the toxic bs I once was a part of. I see my past self in all of the guilty parties involved, and it distresses me that they would double down so much when they should have known better.
