I don’t play minecraft, and I live under a rock so, I didn’t understand the meme. TIL Notch took the good will he received from the gaming community and summarily flushed it down the toilet.
I know it’s a redundant statement but they became a billionaire AND became alt-right, especially in regards to their opinions towards the LGBTQ+ community. Microsoft actually scrubbed their name off of everything because of it.
It’s really sad to me because I used to really look up to them as a Minecraft obsessed teenager trying to learn to program
I think it’s a disease a bit like addiction. Do heroin once and you will likely feel pretty good. Do molly a couple times a year and it will probably be enjoyable. Do either all day every day and you will be fucking miserable, but still paranoid about losing your supply. Money is pretty similar. If you look at any of the ultra rich, they are visibly immiserated and paranoid.
Looks like the typical social media comments from regular users too. It’s “just” the typical transphobia and pridephobia or what its called. I wouldn’t call it the worst person, but definitely not a pleasant person based on the presented information. To make it clear: I am not defending his opinion.
It also seems like he learned and went back on his comments somewhat, I think we should encourage people making mistakes and growing from them, not demonizing them even if they try to change
I don’t know if he isnt as public or I haven’t been paying attention, or people haven’t been reporting on him, but after the initial series of rants, I haven’t seen him making unhinged comments. So that’s nice. Maybe he’s keeping his opinions to himself now. That said… he has a right to have a public opinion on this one.

His wife divorced him shortly after he became a billionare. Money is a disease

I remember being told that I’d become more conservative when I get out of school and start making money.
Turns out that’s just what shitty people do.
That’s what rich people want to make normal people think.

Give me all your money then. Get rid of your addiction.
That tends to happen after you cheat on your wife with a gold-digger
Exactly the meme that came to mind. Notch turned out to be such a disappointment
Why is he the worst person?

He also did some white supremacy, talking about how certain races must be worse because if incarceration and great replacement theory nonsense etc.
Been a while since I looked into it, so I can’t remember specifics, but it was more stuff than what you mentioned
It’s hyperbole, dude
