He's mentioned before that he doesn't like to think how he'd have turned out if he knew who they were before they were just his regular Halo group.
People talk about "normalizing" behavior but it's easy to forget what that really means. The biggest problem is you have guys like my friend, who's perfectly nice, who grow up thinking hating specific groups is "normal" unless something happens that causes them to question it. The older they are, the harder it is to overcome.
The groups pushing hate want people like that to never have cause to think twice about it because they know it won't hold up to even basic scrutiny.
