    Just to give a bit of context to this allegation, Kovarex linked an article written by Uncle Bob, who has made some awful statements.

    When called out for this, Kovarex asserted that it’s irrelevant because the article he linked wasn’t to do with any of that.

    He didn’t defend Uncle Bob’s statements just that it didn’t make him (Kovarex) worthy of cancelling because of it and how Internet culture means that everyone has to be an enemy or ally with no room for any nuance.

      Wait, so someone is criticizing Factorio because someone who worked on Factorio linked to an article written by someone who has, at some point in the past, made awful statements?

      Man, that’s some bullshit.

        I can’t imagine that like of thinking in, say, science

        “Yeah, very interesting article but it is rejected because you cited an article made by someone who once coauthored another article with a racist individual”
