I announce that his folk hero status has now been revoked.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

          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.
