Things like wearing a Burzum shirt every day at Gamescom 2017 (Burzum spoke about and supported racial purity and white supremacy) are telling of his social views as well as his twitter comments.
That's not true! He wore a different Black Metal shirt each day at Gamescom. I'm not a Black Metal fan, so let me just quote the Wikipedia article on Burzum:
Burzum (/ˈbɜːrzəm/; Norwegian: [ˈbʉrtsʉm]) is a Norwegian music project founded by Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a part of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered to be one of the most influential acts in black metal. The word "burzum" means "darkness" in the Black Speech, a fictional language crafted by Lord of the Rings writer J. R. R. Tolkien. [...] Vikernes began making music as a teenager in 1988, but it was not until 1991 that he recorded his first demos as Burzum. [...] Although Vikernes is known for his controversial political views, he does not use Burzum to promote those views, and his lyrics are non-political.
Are you suggesting that Black Metal fans are racist for merely listening to a band that spearheaded their music genre while being completely non-political? Of course not, you're merely twisting the truth so that it conforms to your subjective presuppositions.
Truth is, a million people bought a game largely influenced by a guy that's probably a racist but don't care because the gaming media made the argument for racism ridiculous.
Yeah, congratulations for replacing one ridiculous argument with another. You're not any better than the gaming media you're trying to bash.
