Dogen wasn't a Zen Master, but was he responsible for his sex predator priests?

• Background on modern day religious hate inspired by Dogen's cult: https://www.reddit.com/r/zen/comments/9si960/meta_buddhists_hate_zen_target_redditors_as_cover/

ewk note: Increasingly the question is being asked how leaders of organizations, intentionally or not, attracted specific kinds of followers and influence those followers to express religious hate... without explicitly encouraging specific conduct.

Dogen, as the messianic founder of his religion, committed fraud against Zen, plagiarized Zen teachings, and expressed religious hate for Zen Masters.

Is it any surprise that his followers follow suit?
