    Exactly. Ethics can differ. Of course you can say something privately if there is a real problem, but this is some 1950s bullshit I don’t want to go back to

      dude the '50s people just gossipied behind eachothers backs, and hid any problematic behaivor under a rug so no one found out.

      what you mean go back to that shit? calling it out is the exact opposite of the fifties.
