Why cut this guy any slack for being married to a tranny supporter? Sane people view tranies as the mentally ill people that they are.
It's not even about cutting any slack, it's more sympathizing and trying to follow the train of thought of that guy in his shoes.
I view it more as a guy who wanted to follow up on his beliefs no matter what cards life dealt him and in which situation he started out of. Maybe because he was so close to the source of degeneracy he had this urge to finally speak out and get the ideas out, even though he still loved his wife (HOW he could love her is a completely other question, maybe he's just that much of a faithful Christian and is queasy about divorcing, who knows).
Make this little thought experiment with me: due to no fault of your own (and maybe even though some fault of yours) your life to a certain point has run its course in a specific way, but at that certain point you sit up and think consciously to yourself: "So, what now?". What would this forum answer? The RVForum I knew would actively take charge of their life, recognize that shit happened and some of it can't be changed, some of it can be changed, and some things are worth doing and bettering even though you can't realistically change them. Embody this simple word: discover your own agency.
Now in the context of a gaming forum, we know what that "take charge" means: learn game, self-improve yourself in different areas like inner game, wardrobe, gym, emotions in check, develop skills, network etc. Those circumstances which led you to your point of realization which weren't your fault could've been: Poor upbringing, beta father, nagging mother, liberal SJW parents, cucking for Israel, victim mentality in the family, family feuding etc. etc. Would you then also say to that hypothetical guy "lol what a hypocrite trying to bang girls when his father is a complete beta with a nagging wife and his sister is riding the cock carousel!" ? I don't think so (or least hope not), because a man should not be shamed for trying to better his lot in life, even if the situation he starts his journey out of is less than ideal.
Same with Mike Enoch, in my opinion. Parents liberal, sister is signalling, half-black brother or something, grew up in NY (I think). So he already starts out life at a disadvantage. Probably grows up liberal, marries Jew wife. Start transitioning to a lolbertarian, and after a while discovers the alt-right path. That is his realization point, a year or so into The Daily Shoah podcast. So what now? Well he can't change anything about his how parents are, can't change anything about his sister counter-signalling hard in Kenya and can't change anything about his Jew wife being a Jew wife and doing Jew wife things. And yet, he continues defending and spreading his ideas, DESPITE his situation in life.
Do life circumstances change the truthfulness of some ideas/claims? They can certainly color them in a more positive/negative light, which would influence your decision to believe them. But do they change the inherent TRUTH itself? I think not. So, yes, while because of the revelations around Enoch he may have lost his image and standing in the community, thus people want to disavow and remove him like if he was a lie spreading shill.... but he still did good things, and the ideas still stand up to scrutiny.
