Interesting point. Well, if it’s up to me I would even share the donations with this piece of shit. Because what do you mean by “supporting him”? Letting him earn some money by doing work? What’s the alternative? Letting him starve to death? Personally I’m against death penalty so I do believe that even the worst piece of shit has the right to work and earn living. And frankly, writing code seams to be perfect way for such a person to do it: they are not around other people so no one is in danger and they are not spreading his sick opinions. And people like this earning their living are better than society maintaining them out of our taxes.

It absolutely does not make anything ‘icky’, it’s a silly way to look at it, childish really. If a convicted murder bags your groceries is your food icky? If a child rapist cleans your street is the street icky?

And here we’re not talking about murder or rape, just some online posts. Opinions don’t taint code. I know people like to cancel everyone now but this is really getting absurd. The only “concern” users have is a concern that this week they didn’t get outraged enough and didn’t cancel enough people.
