… yes. I’m not an idiot, thank you for the implication otherwise though. That’s always nice.
Perhaps you’re not familiar with just how outspoken Cory has been about all of this sort of stuff over the years. I think his wife’s job is an important disclosure that has not been made, so I highlighted it. Same as a youtuber disclosing a video was a sponsorship, it could impact how their words should be interpreted, but it just as easily might not effect things in any significant way.
I’ve made my very minor point. I even specified in my initial comment that she is likely involved with DRM, but not guaranteed to be.
I’d love to hear any counterpoints besides the effective equivalent of “how dare you point out a potential problem with our guy”.
Only you can decide how much or how little his wife’s job means. I just wanted people to be aware.

I don’t get it. It’s like every point you appear to be making about Doctorov’s association with his wife’s employer is rendered invalid but you keep restating the seemingly-identical position.
One more time, maybe? “Ha ha, just pointing out whom his wife is for no bearing on the value of his opinions but you know where his wife works, right?” is a weird point to NOT be making about his credibility.

Yes, because it was literally the only thing I was trying to bring up, as I have stated repeatedly.
I’m not the one confused here. I’ve been straightforward about the incredibly minor point I was making. People should know who his wife works for, as it may influence their feelings on him.
Simple as. No more, no less.
Could it matter? Maybe. Maybe not.
Almost everyone responding is jumping to all sorts of conclusions about what I really meant by bringing it up. I just thought people should know the fact, as I had never seen it ever brought up until recently. For myself, it casts some of Cory’s previous rants in a different light, but I’m not actively trying to sway things in any direction here.
I am getting real tired of people responding with basic ass “gotchas” pointed at shit I didn’t say or bring up though, and declaring themselves some sort of winner in an argument I was never having.

Your minor point was to associate him with his wife as if they agreed. Hence my response. I have no idea about your intelligence level, just about your apparent misunderstanding of relationships.

Please don’t put words or intent on me. I’ve been very direct, and at the very least was not attempting to imply any such ideological agreement.
My minor point was to associate him with what appears to be the main source of his household income. No more, no less. Everyone can decide how much that means to them as they wish.
