Obviously this is an exaggeration. You weren’t born finding Hefner “creepy”.

Of course I wasn't born finding Hefner creepy. I found him creepy as long as I was aware of him as a public figure, an aging hedonist in pajamas and a smoking jacket who lived in a Hollywood mansion with a bunch of much younger women. He was creepy, tacky, and a little pathetic. That was Hefner as I first saw him in the media, probably in the early eighties, and to the best of my knowledge, he only got more like that until he died.
If he was, at an earlier time, a champion of American culture and racial and gender equality, I'm glad to hear it. We need more champions of those things in this country, particularly now. I was never aware of a version of Hefner like that.
