In early summer of 2021, we had a thread regarding this situation. While it was discussed in the gaming community for a bit, it faded away fairly quickly. During today's Nintendo Direct, I hadn't even realized that Factorio was the game at the center of last year's controversy until being...
TLDR: The creator of factorio is scum. Don’t support this shitbag with your cash. Pirate the game if you want to play
This article is creatively interpreting everything to be evil, then calling it evil.
Literal claim from the article: “Then Kovarex defended that women shouldn’t be software engineers”
…and shows a message screenshot as proof where the first fucking sentence is Kovarex saying “I am not defending that women shouldn’t be software engineers”.
This type of extremely dishonest outrage farming is just another form of cyberbullying.
why are you cherry picking examples from the article? The next word in Kovarex’ statement about women being software engineers is but
Also, what about all the other stupid shit he said? Are we supposed to ignore that?
“After it was pointed out that Uncle Bob said that women shouldn’t be software engineers, kovarex defended him. After all, Uncle Bob might have some valid arguments as to why women shouldn’t be software engineers and it would be unfair to label him a bigot:”
If you read deeper Kovarex has a really deep seated dislike of what he perceives as cancel culture after growing up in a society that disappeared dissidents. I think he needs to work on that but he hasn’t defended what Uncle Bob said (contrary to what the article states) but disapproves of canceling anyone for what they say.
There are valid reasons to be mad at Kovarex because some heinous people really should STFU and he opposes that but not because he endorses what they’re saying - just that they should be free to say it.
I honestly think if someone sat down and carefully explained what modern cancel culture is and how it differs from secret police disappearing professors in the middle of the night then, in time, he’d likely change his tune.
Maybe the opinion that cancel culture is a terrible social construct and limits peoples’ ability to reason and reach full conclusions is actually apparent here.
Cancel culture promotes trigger-happy boycotts too often. And is not conducive to societal improvement of parties since now they are more isolated and more polarized.
It’s from resetera. It’s nothing more rage bait so SJWs will target individuals and why my earlier comment was removed. They already tried to cancel factorio and wube by flaming them on reddit in the past and a review bomb that ended up with close to 10x more positive reviews than negative once news got out about the bomb.

That’s literally not what the article even said.
