Such a pointless thing to do which puts a massive target on your back for no reason. Backlash is deserved and maybe he learned something

Hes a libertarian nepo baby born into extreme wealth. His dad, the chairman of his company's board and a main investor, was a cofounder of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company.

Learning isn't likely a strong suit.

Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.

Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.

You mean in 2017 like the article pointed out. And maybe there should have been backlash for it. It was a shitty thing to do then, and an even worse thing to do now

There are more important things to get angry over. Getting angry over hats is just tribalism.

When the tribe which they're appealing to is a death cult with a huge body count then that's just being reasonable

Motherfucker decided to come out as MAGA on a global stage while journalists and protestors were being shot by rubber bullets and tear gassed just miles away. He was in range of the predator drones flying over head in a US city, and where Marines were illegally deployed to US soil for the first time in hundreds of years.

But nah dog, just ignore all that and play the game, the game that clearly supports all that. Cause focusing on what the dev clearly supports is not allowed for some reason because he wore it on a hat.

Ah yes, getting angry over someone appealing to fascists is just tribalism. My bad

I was instance banned for trying to reason that we should talk about policy rather than hats when talking about politics.

This wasn’t intended to be ban evasion as I do not intend to return. Goodbye beehaw people, I guess it wasn’t a safe space for autistic people XD

"I guess it wasn't a safe space for autistic people" is an insane takeaway from being temp banned for talking about people fucking their mothers and how people downvoting you arouses you (on a thread about not using a right wing hate symbol).

As an autistic person I'm baffled you'd try to hide behind your neurodivergence here.
