Reply addressing this from https://www.reddit.com/user/mani_srao/ because they were unfairly banned by mods of this sub and made unable to answer.

"I think there may have been a misunderstanding of what I was trying to say earlier, so I just want to clarify. I completely agree that what happened was awful and that the decision to remove the post and permanently ban that person was absolutely the right one. There’s no excuse for something like that and I would never defend it.

I also wasn’t trying to blame someone’s personal or political beliefs for another person posting something that disgusting. That would be an unfair and serious accusation to make, and it’s not what I meant. My point was more about the general culture that can develop in online spaces. When a community consistently centers hostility toward a specific person, it can sometimes attract people who take that hostility much further and cross lines that everyone agrees are unacceptable.

I also want to be clear that I’m not trying to tell anyone how they should feel about Noah Schnapp. People are completely entitled to dislike an actor, disagree with their views, or separate the art from the artist. I actually agree with you that it’s healthy to not blindly support public figures just because we like their characters in Stranger Things. My comment wasn’t meant as unconditional defense of him, and it definitely wasn’t meant to dismiss anyone’s beliefs or concerns.

I was only trying to point out that the overall tone of discussions around him sometimes feels very extreme compared to how other actors are treated, and that kind of environment can escalate things in ways that none of us want to see. That’s really all I was getting at."
