    it’s not obvious but, i’m pretty sure this meme (and its creator’s vehement opposition to rust) is in fact substantially motivated by queerphobia.

      While I’m sure you’re right because that’s what I’ve seen too, I am also aware that there is a nonzero number of people who accuse people of fascism for no reason other than to harass them, so I’m going to need you to drop a source that will take me less than five minutes to understand.

        I feel like its usually not with the intent to harass but a misapplication of the term born of genuine ignorance about what makes someone or something fascist, which is itself subjective in certain contexts.

        A cursory glance at his Twitter profile shows him using the R slur, defending the fascist paramilitary group ICE, sharing an image that appears to depict Canada and Mexico being entirely conquered and subsumed by America, here’s an interesting little post of him glorifying literally fascist art, being a general transphobe (unsurprising), and im sure there’s lots of other heinous stuff i missed.

        Really it was very clear from one single glance at his Twitter page. Come on now, you can manage that much on your own surely.

            Xcancel is an alternative frontend for twitter to specifically avoid having to create an account to use Twitter. Again you could’ve gotten this information with a simple google search lmao “what is xcancel” 😂 there, I even typed it for you.

            I also wasnt the person you responded to initially.

            I also think that you’re a startlingly uncurious person if doing even a cursory glance at a google search is too much for you. Maybe these kinds of discussions just arent for you to begin with. If you really couldnt care less whether someone is a fascist or not, certainly not to the point of wanting to actually find out for yourself, then yeah maybe dont partake in the conversation.

            You’re more interested in defending being lazy than you are in discussing the subject. I’m sure you’ll say something like “its the principle that matters”, which is the most boring possible answer you could give. I’m more than willing to see if someone hates trans people and/or is a white supremacist. I would absolutely prefer to know that so I can avoid them. It took me very minimal effort to find that information for myself. Less than 2 minutes.

        that sounds like sealioning 🤡 but i'll bite, once:

        are you asking for evidence that lunduke is queerphobic, or that the rust community has a disproportionate number of queer people in it?

        or, do you acknowledge both of those things, and are actually suggesting that lunduke’s vehement opposition to rust could maybe conceivably be entirely coincidental and perhaps he dislikes it for purely technical reasons? 😂

        in any case, i’m not going to link to lunduke but i just checked and confirmed that (as i assumed) if you simply search his twitter for the word rust you can find many tweets (and i only went back a month) where he is in fact complaining about people being queer.

            that little triangle means you need to click on the the text in the comment to read the rest of it, because it’s wrapped in a spoiler tag. also fyi you can search twitter without a login using xcancel.com; it takes much less than 5 minutes to do so.
