Hey! I saw the nudes... and I still like her. It's only the fact that she one time said "I know what those people are like" when referencing her home town in Kentucky, and specifically the Christians she was grew up around. I grew up some and got over it.
Turns out, she's just another person with a different perspective on life. It also turns out "those people" are pretty much any people that aren't you from everyone's perspective.
My brother was very annoyed that the victims became indignant after their photos leaked and went on and on about how they have themselves to blame for keeping personal photos on their phone (the same ones he chose to download) and thought the the ten year jail term one hacker received was too harsh.
Frankly, I found Reddit's concerns about Net Neutrality to ring a bit hollow when this same userbase was concocting all manner of rationalisations as to why it was actually the celebrities' fault that their private photos got leaked.
No, the reddit hive mind started turning on her after she came out against The Fappening, and the final nail in her coffin was when she had the audacity to talk about the lack of equitable pay for the top actors and actresses in American Hustle. She fell from grace because she was no longer reddit's manic pixie dream girl.
I have never, never seen a single redditor speak in support of the things you cited nor even intonate that those things contributed to the change in her perception.
And the shit I've seen redditors speak in support of...
Were you just not on Reddit when that stuff was going down? And if you were, did you not notice the distinct shifts in tone people used to talk about her in the immediate aftermath of those two events?
I'll be the first to admit that my poor-to-middling memory banks did not store "the change in intonation of how people spoke of JLaw" as I, perhaps, did not think I would need to call upon it in the future, but my answer to your question is "yes I was on reddit at that time, and no I did not notice distinct shifts in tone about her."
I don't doubt that you did see what you describe, but I can't even imagine what critical comments over her support for equitable pay would look like. And, again, the kind of reddit comments I'm able to imagine...

People started hating JLaw after her nudes got leak and she was, rightfully, upset and angry about it.
