Yes, you should totally brush aside someone being a white nationalist and hope they succeed and put more money into more white nationalist things.
What the fuck?
Don't care about his controversy and non important stuff, just hoping he makes cool tech.

Personal politics aside, I can appreciate his intelligence and what he has done for the VR industry. I hope that he can continue to jumpstart new industries in tech.
If you don't care that someone uses their money on funding white supremacist groups then that says a lot about you.
Sorry, when you say and do inflammatory stuff it isn't just going to go away. This is going to stick to him the rest of his career. As it should.Plenty has been said about Luckeys disgusting politics already. Can we not derail a thread with countless go fuck yourself posts from people that arent even remotely interested in VR developments? Like it or not this guy is still super involved in VR funding.
His polticis dont suddenly get to be ignored because he's making some tech youre interested in. Like it or not he's always to be a piece of shit that should not be forgotten. So tough.Plenty has been said about Luckeys disgusting politics already.

He's young and a near billionaire, of course he's not going to sit and do nothing forever. There are countless people in prominent positions that have done terrible and illegal things. Vote with your wallet.Damn OP i hope this thread gets more attention.
He can't keep getting away with this shit
Chik-fil-a is like a gift from the gods, no other fast food can compare. Sucks if you're missing out.Unfortunately he's the focal point of VR right now. His success will pay for many developers in VR and keep the medium as a whole afloat for some time.
He's a shit human being, but if you care about VR he's the guy who will keep it afloat. That's the only reason why he's still relevant.
Then you've got folks like this that don't care about Luckey's indiscretions as long as VR sticks around. Much like folks that still eat at Chick Fil A.
Sorry, I don't let my enjoyment of a form of media be dictated by someone's views. If it's good then it's good."non important stuff"
We're discussing an article. About a news worthy story. People are allowed to express their personal views on the person the article is based on.Oh well what are we even discussing here? Pack it up boys, this is all non important.
Last I checked I'm not showing any sort of privilege. Quit projecting.Thread full of people not caring about Racism and showing off their privilege hard because it "doesn't matter" to them. Not surprised.
Racism isn't important guys!
He didn't just fall up, he freakin fell into a ten outta ten landing! Why is it so easy for crappy people to succeed?!?!?

Why do people still care about this guy? Beyond being an enthusiast whose Kickstarter blew up, what about him is so special that he's still seen by many as this luminary of the VR world when there are so many companies, both hardware and software, big and small, now that are out there and doing tons of interesting stuff with VR/AR, oftentimes better the Oculus Rift.
I know he's got stupid money now so he can do a whole lot with it, but beyond startups that are desperate for funding, why are any of these big companies out there even interested in him? Just because of his celebrity?
Funding White Supremacy doesn't get to be forgotten.

This is about his tech and new company. I don't care about his politics. He can do what he wants.Thread full of people not caring about Racism and showing off their privilege hard because it "doesn't matter" to them. Not surprised.
Racism isn't important guys!
ehhhhHe can do what he wants..
This is about his tech and new company. I don't care about his politics. He can do what he wants.
I don't care for VR but I he refines it and hopefully actually gets good games to come out.
If you consider the rise of white nationalism and the people involved in pushing it (like Palmer Luckey) to be "non-important", you are absolutely dripping in privilege.
Dudes I'm not even white.You are ABSOLUTELY showing your privilege by not giving a shit about Racism as long as you can enjoy your entertainment and pretend it doesn't happen.
Dudes I'm not even white.
You guys are like the ones in OT who when it got rumored Joss Whedon was a fake feminist and/or adulterer people swore up and down to boycott or speak against Buffy and his other works. I could care less what anyone does in their personal life or what views they hold. If they put something out that's worthwhile and not preaching a negative view, aka Palmer and VR, it doesn't matter to me one bit what the product is.
The product all of a sudden isn't going to grow arms and inject me with ideals.

I acknowledge and realize some people may find it problematic or have issues with it. They may find it important to influence whether or not they can appreciate something that comes from him, non reflective of his views.no one said you can't enjoy what palmer luckey creates, but when you label the issues people have with him as "non important stuff" it sure says a lot about you.

The problem isnt that the products hes making might become racist, but more than he is using the profit from that work to directly fund hate groupsDudes I'm not even white.

I know everyone here hates him and wants him to crawl in a hole somewhere but if you read the article, this is some serious shit:
I really hope he(and anyone else) don't actually go through with this.
I could care less, rather I don't care where his funds for if in the end the product results in an enjoyable experience on my end. Like, I like RPGs, if he made the next VR Skyrim, I'd have a blast playing it.So you're okay with funding White Supremacy.
Alright then.
Such is human nature and the ability to differentiate apples and oranges I'd say, at least when it comes to you. Palmer Lucky is both of those. Fact. I'm not arguing that. And I'm not faulting or surprised when others don't want to separate those. I would even go as far to say you're the close minded one as I don't have to resort to getting upset and can hold a debate without getting stirred up like you.I don't give a fuck what you can and can't care less about. To minimize the issues surrounding Palmer as "non-important" shows small mindedness and a total lack of empathy. This thread is about Palmer Lucky. It doesn't exist if Palmer Lucky isn't Palmer Lucky AKA the guy who helped pioneer VR but also AKA the guy who funded white nationalism and election shit posting. He is all of it. You can try and separate things if you want, but don't be surprised when other people don't.
Wait wait wai!!! They are talking about if you die in the matrix you die in the real world kind of thing ?!?! What?
That doesn't make him close minded lolSuch is human nature and the ability to differentiate apples and oranges I'd say, at least when it comes to you. Palmer Lucky is both of those. Fact.

Is it "couldn't" then? To sum it you, I could give zero fucks.shit man you can't even get your own views straight
What if I pirate.The problem isnt that the products hes making might become racist, but more than he is using the profit from that work to directly fund hate groups
You might not be endorsing racism by enjoying his work, but youre money might be used to further those racist ideals. By giving money to whatever Luckey does you have to either be comfortable with that or just not care
Winston Churchill held strong beliefs in white supremacy and eugenics.
