    Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.

    The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.

    The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.

    There’s a huge difference here.

      I mean, yeah, Kirk was unquestionably the bigger turd but I’m happy both are gone. They’re all part of the same overarching issue with this world.

      Them just fixing their shit would be greatly preferable. But they wouldn’t be part of the problem for very long if they were capable of that kind of introspection.

      The point is was making had nothing to do with Charlie Kirk other than he was an example of people being gleeful about a death. Which is unhealthy.

        Is it unhealthy to be gleeful for the death of someone who promotes and spreads violent and hateful rhetoric and got hoist by his own petard? This is different than being gleeful about the death of someone who is making a hobby worse in one specific company.

          You don’t need to ask this. You know what I’m saying. I’m not going to participate in you trying to excuse what you’re doing.

              Yeah I’m sure you’ve never heard that wishing death on someone makes you a worse person. Because there’s just definitely no truth to that at all.
