I think the issue for Klippenstein's argument is that some of these red flags while certainly far less bad than rape are pointing to Platner being the type of guy who would rape someone. So I do think people who were willing to really go to bat defending those things should probably think on that. I don't think this means they were bad people but they might have some blind spots is all.
