I find it rather concerning how quickly and gleefully some people throw away basic precepts of our civilisation just because they don't like someone. I thought we figured out that individuals should be treated as individuals, and not by any personal attributes they may have, such as family.

Should the parents of Jeffery Dahmer be banned from AirBnB? Or the parents of a convicted murderer or rapist who has since been released? That seems silly.

While I don't agree with any of the trash she peddles, I fail to see how any of it justifies banning her let alone her parents from an accomodation booking platform.

I mean in this sense lauren isnt the one being punished, it literally is that they dont like her parents by merit of association. But ironically they have no choice by virtue of who they are.
