Yep, you would go with that one point on his passing.
A few facts about Hugh Hefner.
1) In 1961 he bought back all playboy club franchises that would not allow African Americans to enter.
2) For all the 'playboy mystique,' and presenting women as sex objects, he had more women involved in corporate operations before most other big companies and his daughter Christie became head of operations and CEO of playboy in 1988 and remained in that position until 2009.
3) Was a supporter for gay rights long before it was politically correct to do so.
He also forbid the girls living in his mansion to ever have relationships with anybody or go out and have fun. He basically get all these young girls, train them to make money with sexualising themselves and showing their nude body to public but frown upon them, and infact ban them from having sex at all or going out. They had like curfews like teenagers.
I read an article that he was applauded for actually being pro-feminism, to make sexuality look cool and "classy".
But the reality is, the young girls that lived in his mansion, he made them feel insecure about their bodies telling them that they needed bigger boobs, more plastic surgery to look prettier. He was pretty damaging to their self-esteem and it was his way of controlling them.
And these were already naturally very pretty girls. Even crystal herself was much more beautiful before all the plastic surgery he made her feel insecure enough to go under.
You know in another thread we had a real life situation of a man who took financial care of mother and daughter after their husband/father passed away. But also took lewd videos of them without their knowledge?
Every person even when they got some very bad things, can also do something positive.
But doesn't mean, I over all consider this a good guy.
And I don't see him as a male feminist. Anybody who tells perfect looking beautiful young teenage girls that their body isn't perfect and needs more plastic work is not a good person to me.
