It’s very simple: billionaires and politicians spend a lot of time trying to control our lives. This is often done through a moral lens: “you can’t do this thing because it’s immoral” where thing can range from making a personal medical decision, marrying the person you love, singing to children, playing on a sports team, or going to the bathroom.

So when one of these representatives of the elite turns out to be not quite so moral, we take special interest in pointing it out until the end of time. If Huang managed a department store you wouldn’t hear much about it.
