To answer the question: Context matters.
I don't know the full context on everything the guy has done. First thing I've seen of these "allegations" was that linked tweet. That one seems totally on par with the dark humour I see. I don't know whether the guy actually was attacking any people or culture actively with malicious intention.
I've grown up watching different shows on TV where there's a lot of "blackface" done with all the motifs of "Beware of those who you call ugly back in high school". Usually ends up the "mocked" character becomes "the result of doing good plastic surgery with whiter, fairer skin and all and now the one your lover(s) wants to f*** instead".
Who knows... I'm totally blind with all the stuff he did. He probably committed actual physical acts of discrimination or assault against people from different ethnicity and culture. One of pure malicious intent. That's actually where I draw the line and start protesting.
If everything he has done was just on the level as the one from that tweet. I really don't see any reason to go full ham with the "cancelling". Protest is understandable and encouraged to voice discontent but going beyond the line is just a big no-no.
Taka's getting involved too so I'm truly worried. While we should not dismiss all the horrible things a person has done, the domino effect of voicing complaints against one guy to involving figures whose work is to sell toys with harassment is just outrageous.
For me, this isn't the same level as with Monica Rial and Sabat where actual harm is fully done.
