@gravitas_deficiency the last 6 years has been the right wing community seething with anger and resentment. Were seeing a resurgence of strong-arm politics and a return of a cold war. Hard times are ahead my friend. This is a crazy time to be alive.
@gravitas_deficiency if you read the original post, there’s a bunch of stuff relating to anti-lgbt comments, which in light of the recent controversy over the anti rainbow flag protests in the USA and abroad, it is relevant. It’s coming into the piracy community now, and I guess the point of this post was to make a decision as a community to continue endorsing this person, or conscientiously stop associating with them. Sorry if I wasnt clear. I will never use EMPRESS releases personally
Fair. I was just chalking it up to that person apparently being a wingnut psycho.
But regarding “it’s coming into the piracy community”: uh… I’m pretty sure I remember a lot of super weird shit being somewhat common in the piracy community even a decade or two ago. There was always a lot of crossover between piracy communities and the darker parts of the web (e.g. 4chan).

I mean, in the broad sense of “what’s going on in the world”, I don’t disagree, but how’s that relevant to this piracy community drama…?
