True, but after the incident happened it seemed as though some people did everything in their power to make it look like a mentality to him (i.e. combing through his past posts to see if he himself said anything yikes to prove to everyone how shitty he is). The “shove it up your ass” comment is enough to point to, so pointing to the (now deleted, might I add) statutory rape comment feels more like having a hate boner for the guy and that your goal is to moreso make you hate him as much as you rather than just the plain ‘don’t buy the game from this guy, he’s a reactionary’.
Has kovarex really done anything that bad? This seems like a stupidly high standard. Like you can’t have ever said anything bad and if someone digs up a thing you said ages ago your are now outcast and anything you ever make must be banned. Fuck that.
He got his shit pushed in by militant fascism wearing the flayed skin of communism, and now he blames the left for everything wrong with his world like he’s possessed by the ghost of Ayn Rand.
But sure, call it based like you were born yesterday.
As someone who has read the linked thread: it would be helpful, even for me, if you included a quote that shows he blames the left for everything wrong. I think you’re referring to (link):
There is obviously a big difference in historical experience. In Czech Republic, we had naciz occupying us, then the communism followed by 20 years of occupation of USSR. We have a very close experience with censorship, propaganda and totalitarian regime. There was a lot of deplatforming going on, when people would go to prison or would be executed because they listened to the wrong radio station. […]
but I’m not sure because here he seems to blame fascism too here. Do you have a better quote that I didn’t see?
Ah yes, the undisclosed context of… shitheads being deplatformed for espousing shit ideologies. Take your “crime in quotes even though they didn’t say that” and shove off.
Except for Factorio, if you see a 1% discount, jump on it
Don’t support reactionaries. Go play Satisfactory instead!
Nah that whole thing was vastly overblown
Eli5?
Kovarex, the maker of Factorio, is a reactionary anti-leftist. He exposed himself on reddit and has since edited or deleted his comments. Here’s a thread about it with links to the original incident. https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/o34v6h/factorio_founder_rages_about_cancel_culture_after/
kovarex’s response was thus: “Take the cancel culture mentaility and shove it up your ass.”
Sounds kinda based. Vaguely remember that, FFF about software development and then people start complaining about politics.
Not wanting to support shitty people is fucking common sense, not a “mentality.”

Talking about software development is shitty people?
There are shitty people in software development. I can’t believe someone has to tell you this.

When did kovarex do any of that?
Yeah thanks for letting us know you didn’t actually read it. Blocked.
Why is it that whenever I see someone announce they’ve blocked someone else for disagreeing with them, it’s always @lemmy.blahaj.zone?

If your source for something is ever that sub Reddit, you should probably take a moment to re-evaluate things
The link on the post goes directly to comments postyed by kovarex himself. Get outta here with that shit lmao
Except it doesn’t because they were deleted.
Kinda burying the lede to criticize his political position when he apparently supports statutory rape.
Say my friend made such a statement in the past and somehow.managed to grow as a person.
What should they do to communicate this?
I assume deleting the original statement is perceived as dishonesty, yes?
Good to know that his “crime” was opposing censorship in some undisclosed context.
People talk about it like if he actually harms people.
Ah yes, the undisclosed context of… shitheads being deplatformed for espousing shit ideologies. Take your “crime in quotes even though they didn’t say that” and shove off.
who are you quoting?
It’s a game that not nearly as fun as any of the other factory games.
Factorio, shapez, foundry, astro colony > satisfactory
This is cope. Factorio is an incredible game
They’re saying factorio is better…
Never said it wasn’t a good game. I’m saying that the ones I listed are better then satisfactory
On the flip side, Satisfactory has been the only logistics game I’ve enjoyed. It just clicked for me better than the others.
Dyson Sphere Program?
Never tried it, will have to take a look
It’s much closer to 3D Factorio than Satisfactory
Love that game! Highly recommended!
It’s absolutely gorgeous. I don’t even care that it can only run at half speed on my laptop. The screenshots I get are second to none.
No kidding. For those curious, here’s what it looks like when you approach a neutron star:
There are few popular topics as reactionary as online gamer drama 🙄
Sure, sure, and all those hollywood actresses really were just hard to work with. yappy hand gesture
But I already bought it. Unless… could I buy another Factorio?
I gave up on getting it at a discount lol. I waited 5 years
