Doubtful this will matter… and it would be disappointing if this is what mattered to people more than the accidental Nazi tattoo actually.

I feel like it would be pretty unsurprising/understandable if an "accidental Nazi tattoo" was less controversial than "intentional adultery"

Alright, but that's only if you buy that line that it was an accidental Nazi tattoo and not an "accidental" Nazi tattoo. Considering he had it for nearly 20 years and didn't get it covered up until it became a scandal, I'm a bit skeptical he was completely in the dark that entire time.

It wasn’t adultery according to this article, just some text messages. That’s quite different from actually having sex with someone.

That's fair, I guess I've always just considered any sexual behavior/interactions while married to someone else to be adultery.
