I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who was ranting about Godot “being woke” last year lol
your takeaway from individual people being unhappy after everything that has come to light about an individual popular person is missing the actual situation/thing that is happening right in front of you? quite a bit more went on than “differing opinion” and even then people are luckily allowed to be upset and it is even easy to understand when it is an influential person, welcome to the internet.
My take way is a subset of people are (justifiably) unhappy with Pirate Software. He acted like a dick and someone in his position should have better articulated his arguments and been more open to dialogue.
It’s also a little gross how many people are trying to pay their bills by stoking rage about this rather than moving the issue forward. And yes, I do understand that the rage is probably why this movement got past the goal posts.
I still think we need to self reflect as a community.
PS was gross, but we should be better.
Yeah, this is the sucky part about the modern internet. It used to be that the internet was a place for discussion and we’ve twisted it to a place to enforce conformity.
I don’t know anything about this guy, so maybe there’s a more established pattern here, but ideally we don’t jump down someone’s throat when they do one or two unpopular things, but instead wait for a pattern to emerge before getting out the pitchforks. But everyone needs to be first, because the first one gets the eyeballs and there’s not much downside to ruining someone’s reputation unnecessarily.

It’s stupid and I hate it.
I think I’m just tired of being handed a pitchfork whenever I browse YouTube or read about Stop Killing Games.
Yeah, that’s why I generally avoid the more popular channels. I just don’t care about internet drama and just want to watch some decent content.
