I also think that part of it is like, everyone around Hunter has a body count in the hundreds or thousands (or more), while he himself is something much more relatable - a junkie with rich parents. He’s a piece of shit who exploits women and he got a bullshit job because of who his dad is, but our system chooses to punish him and not the warmongers he is surrounded by, and even in punishing him our system doesn’t punish him for any of the truly shitty things hes done but for a technicality that makes us all roll our eyes.
