So someone got called out for racism which caused the factorio dev to have a meltdown over cancel culture. https://twitter.com/CaseyExplosion/status/1405914909792256000?s=20

Apparently it’s long been an open secret that Kovarex has horrid personal views, but I didn’t follow closely enough to hear about it before now. Hot off the presses: quote:I'm not defending that women shouldn't be senior software engeneers, but if someone would defend that, it doesn't make him a bigot just because he proposes that and have some arguments, only if those arguments were debunked and the person wouldn't be willing to change his mind, then yes, it sounds like a bigot. But my feeling is, that this step is completely ignored in most of the cases. People are called bigots without any attempts at understanding the reasoning, it is the easy way. https://old.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/o2ly6f/friday_facts_366_the_only_way_to_go_fast_is_to_go/h28beya/?context=3 More context with some charming comments like "Take the cancel culture mentaility and shove it up your rear end." e: The full text of the “shove it up your arse” comment goes places. quote:Take the cancel culture mentaility and shove it up your rear end.

I guess the kovarex process produces extra radioactive takes. Much like radioactive waste: "no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. " Fishbus fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jun 18, 2021 |

At least the subreddit is ruthlessly dunking on him. Kudos to the mods for enforcing the rules on one of the developers. Apparently this Uncle Bob person kovarex is talking about is very openly bigoted (and not even a good software engineer) so it's not even questionable. Really disappointing to see and I hope Wube handles this well.

Well, it's a... mixed response more than ruthless dunking, and the mod did their best to get out of having to take action at all. e: along with Kovarex continuing to break sub rules afterwards without any opposition.

I recall the "no sale" thing being somewhat of a "no reason to wait for a sale, never feel bad about buying it at the "wrong" time"?

I like that the replies have a bunch of people just offering ways to pirate the game rather than give him money He thinks statutory rape is a "sjw term" so he can get poo poo on forever.

I really hope that it is only that dev sockpuppeting on the game's account and they are not all cheering him on. Well, if it comes to that, they still have my money but I do not have to feel bad anymore for kinda preferring DSP or Satisfactory.

The lead developer being a turbo shithead doesn't make the game bad, and regardless of whether or not I play it again they've already got my money. But I don't think I'll be recommending anyone buy it in future.

I'm on this team, I can't imagine boycotting everything touched by an idiot, it seems like they're loving everywhere these days.

Yeah, he showed himself as a libertarian-brand rear end in a top hat a while ago when he started ranting about some government giving an arts grant to some game developer. I honestly didn’t care about that too much, but this has me quietly stripping the Factorio references out of my lecture slides.

Captain Invictus posted:I went from "he's a shithead but at least the game is good" to "hey gently caress this guy everyone should pirate his game instead of giving him money" as soon as the statutory rape posts got unearthed. absolutely 100% to hell with this guy. Not that he's not a shithead or that immediately jumping to "new SJW term" (also using the term SJW) isn't asinine, but I suspect the statutory rape post was mostly because he's Czech and doesn't know what "statutory" means in that context. Aside: goddamn I hate the entire "women can't program"  myth. I was a TA at my CS department while I did my master. While prepping courses professors would cheerfully say things like "give the girls some extra help, they're not very good at this" and pontificate about what female qualities it was made them so bad at computer touching that it would cause the CS student body to be only 5% women.Meanwhile chemical engineering was 60% women, engineering physics was 40% women, somehow doing just as much or more math and logic as we did. Apparently the explanation for that just had to be that there is something about having an extra X chromosome that interferes with computer touching specifically. It couldn't possibly be that women avoid CS in favor of other sciences precisely because it's full of sexist dickbags. Of course, half the male students then buy into the entire pile garbage as proof of their own suitability and wisdom for choosing CS when they're so uniquely suited to it, and the cycle begins again.

He seems to think "statutory rape" is some new term related to the student-teacher dynamic and he's just advocating the gross idea that teachers sleeping with "consenting" students is a-ok as long as the students are of age. Not, I think, extremely disgusting idea that teachers sleeping with underaged kids is a-ok. It's still gross even if I'm reading it right, of course, as is the other assorted dumb poo poo kovarex has said. I just don't think he actually meant to say that pedophilia is cool.
