@cerret @Alyx I know. I used think he was just abrasive and socially awkward. In the last days I was around him, not one day passes without him uttering an antisemitic or other racist slurs, he was afraid to pick a fight with me, because at the time I was just as toxic as he was and was bullying him at every step. Didn't stop him from slipping the odd transphobic slur here and there.

You wouldn't know about this from his knowable public activity because he frequently hops and nukes accounts on Twitter when he realizes that he's about to get reported for hate speech. And you wouldn't know that from his Twitch persona "ThePositivePlayer" because he and his friends had a strict no slur rule during stream sessions.

I was a toxic asshole at that time and often broke that rule just to fuck with him. The people he sticks with breeds toxicity like that with frequent hazing and I am so glad I walked out of that Teamspeak server.

@cerret @Alyx Oh yeah, and he was one of the first friends I made when I made the mistake of getting involved with gamergate years ago.

@FreyaManibrandr @cerret *winces*

@cerret @Alyx I can, because people like that value material wealth over friendship and kindness.

He once talked me into investing $20 in some shitcoin that quickly imploded due to infighting and greed, and the developers trying to fuck each other over to take everything home.

Oh well, it was an interesting experiment, to see my $20 turn into $3000 in a few months, and then back to $0 because the owners can't be satisfied with winning some, and is desperate to win MORE. It's never enough with these people.

@FreyaManibrandr @Alyx @cerret holy shit. the culture must be so goddamn toxic. pure concentrated techbro capitalism
