Comment on PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games

• ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I was attempting to compare and contrast. How should I do that without “whataboutism”?

  he is not a net positive on society, just like nazis.

  Clearly being narcissistic is not as bad as spreading hate and bigotry. Calling this guy all kinds of names and saying he’s the same as a Nazi because he thinks he’s the smartest guy ever is overkill.

  His views aren’t offensive, they’re just different. It’s like a guy saying pineapple on pizza is terrible and anyone who likes it has terrible taste and then deletes and bans people who say they like pineapple on pizza. It’s weird behaviour but to say they’re not a net positive to society is crazy.

  This guy runs an animal rescue shelter and pays for his (American) chat moderators’ healthcare. He helps people with no experience get into game development.

  One of the top comments in this thread is:

  I couldn’t give less of a shit what this dumbfuck thinks about anything.

  Why all the hate? Because he argues about World of Warcraft strategies? There are definitely people who are negatives to society, but I do not think Pirate Software is one of those people. I do think he has an attitude, but that doesn’t make him the equivalent of a Nazi.

    there’s a massive difference between pineapple pizza lovers and this kind of person.

        one is a simple opinion. it harms no one. the other is an abusive personality that will continue to abuse.
