So that fact is wrong, it was a Jewish man who escaped nazi persecution. I dont think this is historical appropriation on purpose. Clap back politics don't provide anything, and in this case accidentally lied. It's usually free nowadays to check your facts before posting.

Clap back politics don't provide anything

Clap back politics isn't for the opposition but for others on your side to gain a new perspective by pointing out the things people knew but couldn't put into words. It's a tool for our collective awareness. I wouldn't say it's useless.

did you point at something when you typed "that"? because the rest of us can't see what you're pointing to.

I thought I had read somewhere that Zoid Kirsch is also gay. He had quite an impressive career in gaming.

He created Threewave CTF, which was an incredibly inspirational mod for the original Quake. Practically defined team deathmatch arena games to this day. Got hired by the legend John Carmack to work at id Software shortly after and helped develop QuakeWorld and subsequent Quakes.

You don't get it, they like the women, gays and non whites providing labor, they just want them hidden, so it doesn't ruins their gamer experience. They are just labor, and there is no place for them in the exclusive gamer space.

It's like the old days, you want your slaves and servants just to serve you, like machines, you don't want to acknowledge their existence as human beings. They are not equal to you, they just sustain your life style, because they deserve so. And only that, no humanity for them.
