Hugh Hefner died yesterday and apparently we're supposed to be sad about this???

idgi???

@witchfynder_finder he did some ok things and not ok things and at the end of the day he was a rich white cis straight dude with a luxurious lifestyle who treated "his girls" decently from what I've heard. Don't care much but I don't hate him either

@vahnj Like I've never had a real opinion one way or the other aside from being slightly skeeved out by the whole thing but my Facespace feed is full of people who apparently actually care and I'm just so confused about it.

@witchfynder_finder he also has always treated gay people well. Dunno about trans ppl. World's okayest dad

@vahnj @witchfynder_finder he was ever so slightly ahead of the curve for an old dude and that makes him notable if nothing else. he still profited off other peoples bodies and amassed copious wealth so idgaf about him

@dog @vahnj That's kinda where I am, too. Like, even if he did treat the women well, the way he lived still feels pretty gross.

@witchfynder_finder @dog he commandeered a system set up for him to win and managed to make up for it a little bit. That's about it for me

@vahnj @witchfynder_finder coming back to this some time later to say i heard on the radio that his entire value at the time of his death was 1.4 mil which is drastically less than I had thought so he wasnt #asbad i guess
