I announce that his folk hero status has now been revoked.

ban-hammer

Just another jilted alt right dude who was fine when he thought the system was for him and then got burned and lashed out.

No praxis, only edge and entitlement.

My authority to decide this? None, don’t @ me.

    His reading history is what he believed in the past, not what he believed while adjusting.

    Consider that he was heading down the wrong path for a long time, but then realized that he was wrong, and acted accordingly. Cancelling someone because of their past beliefs is unproductive, and Luigi is proof of someone’s world view changing for the better.

              Like we aren’t all guttered this dude turned out to be a chud, but like I dunno I think people are so downtrodden that any tiny sliver of a victory is something to cling to even when imo it’s not what people thought it was.

              I guess I can’t separate the art from the artist lol I just think context and intent are important

                I can, but separating the art from the artist isn’t what’s happening here. They’re lauding the artist for his art. Not celebrating the art as a distinct thing.

                  Ooooooo fr fr like I still think it’s objectively funny a CEO found out. I don’t know why the conversation around it has to be so absolutist.
