I said I was going to sell my rift and give the proceeds to the HR Clinton campaign if Oculus didn't get rid of Palmer.
Hopefully I get at least a few bids.
Much respect man.

That Milo fat shame tweet infuriates me.
That guy he's making fun of for being fat (who is probably a decent human being, unlike Milo) is making an effort to improve his life by exercising and attempting to lose his excess weight, and this Twitter prick is still making fun of him AS HE'S TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM HE'S BEING CRITICIZED FOR HAVING. When a seriously overweight person makes a genuine effort to become healthier, they should be applauded for taking that initiative and encouraged to stick with it long-term.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I just really wanted to type that all out.
Palmer made a FB post:
Yes. This is the last post I read. Have to step out this thread for a minute. I literally want to smack the shit out this Milo prick.
I miss the days of being naive and ignorant to ppls views, opinions, etc. Reading thru this thread I forget this is a gaming forum.
Thread is huuuge now. Want to read it in its entirety. I like others wont put ppl on ignore lists. Malcolm X once said something about the fox and the wolf.* And I agree 100%.
I wanna know who the wolves are, so keep making it easy to see you. The fox is the dangerous one. So we should be glad that Trump is so open about his views, it brings others that think like him out the woodwork and that fox mask falls off, showing the wolf underneath it.
**Dont look at this from a political POV, but from an awareness POV.
He either lied in his apology or he lied to the reporter. Outside out of that, he thought "shitposting" racists were a fresh take on how to engage with young voters? Lowering discourse is not a good way for anyone to engage.
I mean yeah this is 100 percent the case. We were reading her fucked up Tweets here before the account was nuked and some were screen capped by people here.So there's an image going around that there was a so called attack on his girlfriend and I'm among the list in a Twitter search. My post is an observation without @ ing that she seemed to be deleting all of her racist tweets aimed at blacks and muslims. In fact every person in the search is making an observation that she deleted her account, many learning after her account was deleted and could no way be an attacker.
This seems like all the evidence they have to support that there was some kind of harassment campaign against her. Which is basically nothing. It's a typical DARVO tactic, but to them I am, as with everyone else who may have talked about her in any significance, are now considered a "harasser" by the alt-right and GGers.
So yeah, if anyone remembers that discussion earlier in this thread that there may have been harassers, seems less and less likely and more and more likely she was just deleting her racist tweets to not incriminate her boyfriend because it was the talk of the town, because it became clear that Luckey holds similar core views to even stay in that relationship with her but realizing there was so much racist stuff on her account she nuked her account instead.
Look who is giving Palmer advice:
Oh dear.
That guy really doesn't deserve any extra attention.Oh dear.

The floating idea that Palmer was feigning support for the alt-right to appease his girlfriend is flat-out lunacy and really makes me question the poster's intelligence when they resort to it. Read the posts authored by Luckey and they reveal a guy who thinks he's cracked a social glass ceiling and has now become a member of the elite. He thinks he's a better class of people now.
You think that guy would do stuff that most reasonable people would find abhorrent to stick with someone if he thinks he is better than everyone else?
Yeah, I know. It's just good to have more clarification on the issue. The images going around means nothing.
Oh I agree. There's no way he was just doing it to appease his girlfriend and I never once believed that. To be in a relationship with an extremely racist person like that means he clearly shares some core views and beliefs. Her feed was full of propaganda and Gamergate stuff as well too. He was definitely into everything she was saying as proved by even one retweet about muslims with the comic "this is fine."
That guy really doesn't deserve any extra attention.
Yeah, the guy is clearly a sociopath that gets off on getting attention purely for being borderline evil.You're right. Just hadn't seen anyone trying to talk like an "alpha-male" cartoon villain in that way, with such sincerity, before. Removed the quoted image at least.
So is the Donald subreddit actually supportive of trump, or are they just trolling. The way the mimick trump makes it seem like they are parodying him most of the time, or trying to get a rise out of people, you know classic trolling. Never 2would have guessed they were legit.

Actual Donald support disguised as memes. That's the purpose of the whole thing.So is the Donald subreddit actually supportive of trump, or are they just trolling.

He's human refuse.
Stop reposting his Tweets. He's out to get attention. No need to feed it to him. He's not even worth discussing.This guy is like the face of evil. Wtf man.....
Oculus has rallied behind him. I don't see him getting fired at the moment.The guy just destroyed his career.
Developers don't want to be associated with him already:

He will be fired by FB.
Wait..did Insomniac actually stop support of Oculus or is this article shitty? I think I know the answer, but I'd just like to check to make sure I'm not missing something.The guy just destroyed his career.

It's more that bigots are feeling emboldened with the rise of Trump, when before they kept their hate under the radar.The thing that's real sad in all that, is that White supremacists/nazi supporters are growing world wide and this case is just an example

Whoa...Insomniac...are they the biggest so far to drop?
Insomniac didn't drop their game. Further, Oculus is directly funding the game.
The article is wrong, Insomniac is still working on their Oculus game.
Thought so. Just a terrible article. Thanks.Insomniac didn't drop their game. Further, Oculus is directly funding the game.

If there is a boycott, it will not be effective. They never are.
If Luckey came out in a post in reddit or fb and said he was a Trump supporter and explained his reasoning why he didnt like Hillary, I would say sure I disagree, but I respect that.
I mean based on how much you hear about it, I could probably have been convinced that the boycott of Oculus started months ago.If there is a boycott, it will not be effective. They never are.
At the end of the day, Luckey may lose some connections and lose some respect (rightfully so), but he'll be fine. He's a quasi-billionaire and in no way dependent on his career. He'll live and die with many times the wealth of all GAF combined. Likewise, Facebook is used by half the population of Earth and has no notable competitors, so they're not exactly in danger, either. And the sad truth is, while his words and deeds are reprehensible, they clearly resonate with at least enough people to support the current GOP ticket. Which is really the most terrifying takeaway of all.
The best thing that could come of this whole episode, is not so much what happens to Luckey himself, but what happens to society at large. If there's a large enough outcry about what Luckey has been doing if the greater whole of the Internet is swift to condemn his support of hatred and cruelty then perhaps it'll send a signal to the rest of society that no, this is not acceptable behavior, and no, the tenets of the alt-right are not reasonable or respectable in any sane civilized society.
Gets you real close tho.Money doesn't buy happiness. Look at Notch. Prime example.
It's looking more and more like he's not going to be let go anytime soon. If Oculus won't do it, they'll eventually crash and burn and Facebook week just close them down. I wouldn't be surprised to see a mass exodus from Oculus in the coming months.
Not to mention, just giving $10,000 to a group that makes anti-Hillary memes isn't a reason to fire someone or for a company to 'crash and burn'.It's looking more and more like he's not going to be let go anytime soon.

It's a hate groups that spreads hate speech. Not just "anti-Hillary" messages. Get it right.Not to mention, just giving $10,000 to a group that makes anti-Hillary memes isn't a reason to fire someone or for a company to 'crash and burn'.
