Im not trying to shift blame I'm saying why would you try to improve something if you're also saying it's just rotten all the way through eg "the fgc is terrible". That's just giving up

Oh, that's not aimed at you. I pretty much agree with what you're saying too, my point is more that throwing your hands up in the air and reneging a "thing" (mostly for your own benefit, let's be honest here) just allows for the people that like to shift blame and look the other way to control the narrative.

He was largely ostracised from human society once he actually outed himself as a Nazi sympathizer and Holocaust denier.

Didn't he basically just move to Japan and keep giving interviews to anyone who asked? He was ostracized from the chess community but he still got to be an entity.
I bet a fairly healthy chunk of that community felt he was being unfairly treated for holding controversial opinions, when really they just wanted to see their favorite player compete again. They would have had to write that opinion in to a publication for it to be publicly documented though. Meanwhile Twitter, Facebook, many other social platforms and any comment section on the matter gives plenty of people a place to rapidly output how okay they are with people acting lovely, with a bonus layer of having it be under a different name if they want (they do) so that they don't ever see their actual name tied to their opinion and potentially say "Oh, wait, this is hosed up." I wouldn't be surprised if this direct access to Infiltration as far as leaving supportive messages versus Bobby, who'd you would have to specifically mail, had an affect on his decision to try and come back.
Basically is this the internet's fault? I already know the answer, everything is the internet's fault.

Garry Kasparov is a cool dude.

he famously did say "women should stay in the kitchen and have babies and not do chess" but then Judit Polgar destroyed him using his own midgame tactic against him and he left via a backroom away from the media like a bitch, so that was all cool and good

Bobby Fischer was the greatest chess player of all time and he said the Jews are reptiles or something

oh yeah dude was absolutely schizophrenic though at the very least FIDE unanimously said "gently caress off" to him for life.

I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.
Any good series on YouTube about getting better at Samurai Shodown? I’ve played fighting games so I don’t need something for beginners, rather, I’m looking for more information about how SamSho is played specifically.

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

I guess SF3 / SF5 Ryu is technically lightning? Maybe he could sit in the emergency row and tell everyone he's the defibrillator.
