It's weird to me that, in this specific community, people is condemning this kid as a cyber criminal and as someone playing for the "wrong side".
No one is condemning him for hacking Rockstar. They're defending the decisions to put him a hospital because he's unstable. It doesn't help anyone having this kind of black hat shit being so public, sloppy, and visibly unhinged.
Yeah, didn't he also attack user data from BT/EE? And apparently stalked women or something. As funny and impressive as this specific incident is, it was a final straw
Just corpo simps being corpo simps from what I can tell.
I don't see anyone simping for corporations, just not rushing to celebrate or defend someone so obviously unhinged.
Also, the point is not to get caught, and he's extremely brazen about it even when directly under police watch.
There are plenty of other black hats out there that don't act like this. No one is shaking a finger at them. By all means, crack these corporations wide open.
But this guy in particular is not worth raising up.
Can you elaborate more? What are "corporate simps" saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he's mentally unwell, shouldn't people be supporting efforts for his recovery?
Are they not?
Being sent to a prison hospital, which isn't great but it's better than the alternative isn't it? Some people keep saying that maybe he should be given a job with the CIA or something, and maybe he would have been, but given the fact that he doesn't seem stable enough to take an olive branch when it's offered I don't really think there's much future for him.
I admit I hadn't read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn't mean to imply that autism is something that requires "recovery." It's just the way people describe Kurtaj... like he's some kind of mad super villain. He's violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there's something fishy going on here.
Did you respond to the wrong comment by any chance?
Read the whole comment chain, it makes sense.
You went through the trouble of creating a new burner account to post this unconstructive garbage, wow. Starting to see a lot more of this pop up within the past few days. Show that you actually stand behind what you say, and post this from your main account instead so we can block you
No one wants to risk getting their main account suspended for posting a harmless comment. Even reddit was better in regards to that.
spreading misinformation is not "harmless", it doesn't have immediate effect but it surely affects the community in the long run
What misinformation am i spreading? That lemmy is left wing? That is a fact. Besides aren't you supposed to take pride in being an inclusive and safe community that is against the evil nazis?
reality is left-wing
In your dreams
A very 2013 era comment, wanna complain about hipsters and feminists too just to cover all the bases?
Thanks Obama
I think the nebulous "woke" term covers everything these people hate these days
