Part 6/10:
A recurring theme in the criticism is the perception that Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg both have histories involving racist remarks or actions. Despite Gibson's overt apology and Wahlberg's juvenile mistakes, many critics refuse to forgive them, often pointing to their past behaviors as proof that they are inherently untrustworthy or morally flawed.
It's argued that Hollywood’s left-leaning circles and the broader "woke" culture perpetuate a double standard. Figures who apologize or seek redemption are sometimes still ostracized, while others—who may not fully atone—still find opportunities. The narrative suggests that Hollywood’s elite selectively apply moral judgments, punishing some while rewarding others who align better with their ideological views.
