I think some of the disagreement about moderation of Luigi's Mansion comes from people missing the boat on his actual politics. He was not just a wacky musk stan, here is one of the guys I saw listed in connection with him: https://substack.com/@picopaco/notes note the hits such as "Racial Group Differences are primarily genetic in origin" and "The Great Palestine Lie". I saw a few other nazi adjacent people on his substack and twitter, but I cant find it anymore, same goes for the thing where luigi actually follows this guy. If anyone has the actual post, I would appreciate a link to it!

I would be more sympathetic to trying to claim him if he was just talking about how AI is going to do whatever stuff tech bros are talking about now, and I would assume most people trying to claim him are thinking he was in this group.

    This is literal Nazi shit, did you at least look at that first link? Absolutely reprehensible. That kind of stuff is not mainstream and very easy to avoid unless you're a mega-racist and actively looking for it.

        What the fuck are you talking about. This is not American fascism, this is 18th century race science. Perfect example of the mental gymnastics people are doing to try to claim this guy. If you read this shit and are trying to paint it as "fascist ideology at some level" you really fucking suck and should be banned.

        There are measurable physical differences between European and African brains. European brains are a bit larger. Gould attempted to debunk these scientific measurements in his book The Mismeasure of Man, however he did not actually measure the skulls himself, and he only revealed himself to be a fraud in doing so when the initial measurements were ultimately confirmed as accurate.
