Yeah, but RDJ's behavior was always self-destructive toward himself. He was never viewed as being a hateful, malevolent, bigotted, or prejudiced person who harmed others...just someone pissing their life away on a drug habit. People still liked him. It helps that all the roles he is taking on are ones that seem like people destroying themselves as well.
Mel has created this image of himself as a wholesome, conservative leader of a fundamental Christian movement and everything he does just points out how hypocritical and fundamentally flawed his character is.
