Erykah Badu can see something good in Hitler...?
Badu: I’m a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler.
Journalist: Come again?
Badu: Yeah, I did. Hitler was a wonderful painter.
Journalist: No, he wasn’t! And even if he was, what would his skill as a painter have to do with any “good” in him?
Badu: Okay, he was a terrible painter. Poor thing. He had a terrible childhood. That means that when I’m looking at my daughter, Mars (Badu’s daughter with enigmatic rapper Jay Electronica. She also has another daughter, Puma, with the West Coast rapper the D.O.C.), I could imagine her being in someone else’s home and being treated so poorly, and what that could spawn. I see things like that. I guess it’s just the Pisces in me.
Journalist: I’m perfectly willing to accept that you might be operating on a higher moral plane than I am, but I think going down the route of “Hitler was a child once too” is maybe turning the idea of empathy into an empty abstraction.
Badu: Maybe so. It doesn’t test my limits — I can see this clearly. I don’t care if the whole group says something, I’m going to be honest. I know I don’t have the most popular opinion sometimes.

Thesis: the real reason 4E’s role taxonomy is so unpopular among a certain vocal subset of the D&D fandom is because its role name for the classes with all the heals and buffs is “Leader”, and folks couldn’t handle that much honesty.
