It's true that he'd be nothing special in many other contexts, but at the same time, context matters. Ben Scrivens is far from perfect and should not be worshiped unreservedly, but I still think it's admirable for a person in such a cesspool environment that puts such a high premium on conformity to not only hold more progressive views, but to actively express them. And yeah, he's a straight white dude, and thus has a lot less to lose than others do by not conforming (see Subban, PK), but he's actively sought to use his privilege for good, which is more than I can say for most of his peers. We should still call him out when he fucks up, of course. But I don't think it's wrong for people to like him for the good things he has done/said, and I don't think those things are nothing.
