Didn’t the developer of this come out as a racist or something?
He referenced a developer in a blog post who has some problematic "old school tech" ideas. When people told him to add a trigger warning to his blog post he told them to shove it up their ass. Then reddit did a reddit and tried to cancel him.
Tldr no
Old school tech? Do people get offended by Commodore 64s? Danger of triggering punch card PTSD?
Hint it's not the old school tech that was the problem
Ah so by "old school tech" they mean he is a bigoted misogynist but supposedly in some charming mad men type of way. Wonderful.
More like mid-1900s NASA scientists kind of way
He referenced a talk about programming made by a conservative guy called uncle bob, in a blog post and doubled down that he doesn't care
The talk used to be referenced often but now less for both some of the technical principles falling out of fashion, and the author just pushing bad take after bad take thinking he's 10 steps ahead while staying 20 steps behind because he can't tell the difference. And also the conservative stuff
It was all just a "do we separate art from the artist" discussion
Oh man, who the hell ties their cart to Uncle Bob? That man stands as a true classic of the Graham Lineman “I have some issues with the trans movement” -> actually hanging out with Alex Jones/disowned by friends and family pipeline.
The devs are from Eastern Europe. It's not exactly surprising that they would be a few years behind the times socially.
Where "behind the times socially" means "not falling for the Americans alwayslooking for something to be upset about".
Huh, I always thought the Czech Republic, where their studio sits, was more accepting of non-cis folks. Turns out they’re still not even past debating gay marriage.
