kevin has pretty much made it clear he doesnt care about working at the oscars or people who are upset at him. i think some people are pissed because there isn't any leverage at this point over him so he gets away 'clean'.
People were always going to be mad because Kevin has demonstrated through his actions that he hasn't actually moved on from his bigoted comments.
(1) He NEVER actually apologized or showed throughout the years that he moved on. In fact, on a number of occasions he swept his comments under the rug (see posts on this page which specifically go through his comments on the matter from then until now). Additionally, when he finally did apologize it was the good ole "sorry if you're offended"
(2) when the actual tweets came up, he refused to apologize, continued with this "screw haters diatribe" then later followed up and explained he had to apologize or he could not host and instead DECIDED TO STEP DOWN. After that he made an apology FINALLY to save some face. So instead of apologizing from the beginning (which he couldn't do because he didn't think he did anything wrong) Kevin decided he would rather exacerbate the problems with LGBT individuals inciting more anger because it's obvious he doesn't care,
(3) finally he decided that he's gonna have his PR team throw him on some victimization tour as if he was the one being attacked.
Lmao kevin is a celebrity, and anything he says is scrutinized because he make massive amounts money off of the general public and has large influence over swaths of minorities which is evidenced in this incident alone. He has the resources to turn people easily to his side as long as he keeps his rich friends and listens to the professionals he pays to keep his image fine. He should be held accountable, and he should've apologized correctly to other minorities because I would presume he knows what it's like, a lot of us black people should, but then I'm not surprised we got dudes in here defending Kevin as if the issue is specifically that he's a black celebrity. Comedians tend to stick together I guess.
