4 months agoHe demonstrated this ‘wrong-think’ up until the day he died (and his son is no peach, either, if his latest attempt at a racist game is any indication).
And as the system still runs on the back of the original, sexist and racist model, it still has the same core issues. If you have a car engine that’s misfiring, and you put new body panels on it, that doesn’t fix the engine issues.
That’s a quote of his from 2006. So, I guess he ‘eased off’ in the sense that he decided ‘females could play as well as males’, but it’s pretty clear he was still a sexist ass until the day he died.
Edit: also, anyone know what the heck he had against LARPers?
