VR Devs Pull Support For Oculus Rift Until Palmer Luckey Steps Down (vice.com)
After it was revealed that Oculus founder Palmer Luckey backed a pro-Trump political organization called Nimble America that is dedicated to "shitposting" and spreading inflammatory memes about Hillary Clinton, several developers of the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset have announced that they will stop supporting the headset until its founder steps down. One of the biggest developers for Oculus Rift, Insomniac Games, told Motherboard, "Insomniac Games condemns all forms of hate speech. While everyone has a right to express his or her political opinion, the behavior and sentiments reported do not reflect the values of our company. We are also confident that his behavior and sentiment does not reflect the values of the many Oculus employees we work with on a daily basis." Fez and Superhypercube developer Polytron also said in a statement, "In a political climate as fragile and horrifying as this one, we cannot tacitly endorse these actions by supporting Luckey or his platform." Motherboard reports: Motherboard has reached out to several other, more well-known VR developers who work with Oculus including Fantastic Contraption makers Northway Games and Job Simulator makers Owlchemy Labs. Northway Games couldn't be reached immediately for comment but tweeted the following: "What. The. Fuck. [accompanied with a link to the news via Kotaku]" and "Definitely using every fibre of my 'professionalism' to not tweet some tweets right now." Owlchemy Labs, which is currently developing for Job Simulator for the Oculus Touch controls, declined to comment either way. E McNeill, who has developed a couple of games for Oculus Rift and GearVR, suggested that like-minded VR developers raise money for Hillary Clinton's campaign to counter the money Luckey has raised for Trump. [E McNeill tweeted: "Idle Q: Would any Oculus devs join me in a donation drive for HIllary? We could aim to beat Nimble America's $11k. I'd start with $1k myself."] "This backlash is nonsense," said James Green, co-founder of VR developer Carbon Games. "I absolutely support him doing whatever he wants politically if it's legal. To take any other position is against American values."
Pretty much every comment here on Trumps side has used racist slurs, homophobe insults, insults denigrating women
Read the emails where DNC "leaders" indulge in - racist slurs, homophobe[sic] insults, insults denigrating women and insults denigrating black women.
There is a reason the Democrat Party is the Party of the Klu Klux Klan. Also the party that loves eugenics and Margaret Sanger (who loved eugenics) and whose "organization" has killed over 40 million black babies since its inception. Margaret Sanger is a hero to Hillary by her own words, as was the racist Robert Byrd. You know, that Democrat Senator that was a Klu Klux Klan Grand Dragon and bragged he had the highest recruitment rate of anyone in his state. He served until 2010 in the senate. Hillary said many times he was her mentor.
Margaret Sanger's mission was to eliminate the black race. And look how things have turned out for blacks under the Democrats. Look at Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore (and more), all bastions of Democratic Progressive Liberalism for decades. If a person can't see 'it' they are a Democrat Racist for sure. Actions speak louder than words.
Well, I am German and I listened to Hitler recordings pre-1933. I also listen to the Trump speech that he gave after he came back from Mexico. I found it was chilling. Swap in "Jews" wherever he says "Illegals" and these speeches would be hard to distinguish.
Trump is not a normal candidate, it was funny when it started. It stopped being funny long ago.
The real haye I see is refusing to do business with somebody over politics. Welcome to left wing fascism.
