If it is believed the individual embodies a virtue to be celebrated, maybe use the name of the virtue. Courage Boulevard, the Avenue of Hope will never be tainted by finding out about Violent Sexist Corner, or Nazi Alley hidden away from the bright lights of Reputation Street.
People are nuanced, and should be acknowledged and remembered as such. A name on a wall or signpost does not allow this, either glossing over or diminishing humanity.

Substack platforms Nazis for profit. They defend their right to profit by disseminating Nazi ideas and they push Nazi ideas in their notifications.
(I just think a lot of people must be unaware or they wouldn't look for information there)

ΰ²ΰ²Ώΰ²°ΰ²Ύΰ²ΰ³ πΉβπΎβπ±π΅πΈ (he/him)@RnDanger @kottke The challenge, as always, is that there are also a bunch of leftists and left-leaning journalists (e.g. Mehdi Hasan and Zeteo, Drop Site News, Left Hook with Wajahat Ali, etc) who are doing great work. I'm not saying your point isn't valid (it is), but rather that unfortunately it's balancing that awful fact against the need to support great journalists doing important work.
I wish everyone would move to Ghost.
CJPaloma might be hikingmy 2 cents:
I think it's a combo of knowledge deficit, AND that people just don't always live their values...
Western psych doesn't have super reliable /easy ways to crack that issue for huge numbers of people who do all kinds of things they know aren't optimal (like me, every year I gain "a winter pouch" because I continue to eat like I do at other times of the year -when I'm out exercising much more. I know what I need to do, but year after year, I don't do it).
