Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

Man Notch really turned out to me a mess didn’t he…? 😥
I remember back in like 2012 he was one of my personal “heros”.
what did he do I don’t know
He got sucked into Right-wing extremism. Posting racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic things on Twitter. Also got into Qanon I think.
What are some of the things he said that were classified as that?
Someone below me posted a big video on that. Other than that it takes two seconds to Google. He has a history of saying extremely reactionary things (advocating for a straight pride parade, saying feminism is a disease, being transgender is just a mental illness etc.) And then walking it back which is weird that it happens over and over again. He also unironically believed in Qanon.
Maybe not an outright fascist bigot but however his social system and brain works, it leads him to fall face first over and over into extreme right wing reactionary takes.
An answer to this question which indicates it’s not a lie would be something like
My answer.
Sorry I’m not willing to put in effort to prove someone else’s claim.
I’ve tried in the past and googling in circumstances like this leads to nothing.
You’re right, your ignorance is a choice.
You can either be lazy enough to accept things at face value or take the time to verify people’s claims, you can’t really have both.

TL;DR: Racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia over Twitter
