I'm just happy that Kubrick seems to not have been one of them. Even when adapting very dark stories where he could have tried to get away with "but that's the age of the characters in the original" he had the good sense to age-up troublingly-young characters. There's a particularly notorious scene in the original A Clockwork Orange novel that he handled perfectly in the adaptation. Anyone familiar with the movie knows the scene where Alex has a consensual threesome with these two adult women.

But in the original novel, they're both 10 years old and not consenting whatsoever.
He's also adamently a proponent and supporter of Transcendental Meditation and has converted half the actors he's worked with. Which as an individual practice isnt't a problem, but the organization behind it is a huge scam started by a predatory rolls royce yogi who Lynch personally knew. The same guy who made The Beatles leave India because he creeped on their girlfriends.
I half forgive him for this because I think he probably doesnt read literally anything on the internet and has had the privilege of the organization sheltering him from any of their wrongdoing. Unless a friend of his personally told him, he might not have any idea.
Filmmakers, too.

David Lynch unfortunely also signed the letter in favor of Roman Polanski (No idea if he regrets supporting it like Natalie Portman did).
