I just think it’s pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

    Here’s my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that’s on you. And it’ll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it’s on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I’m not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn’t then there wouldn’t be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.

      Yeah okay, I agree with all that, but once someone has established a pattern of harmful behavior, it becomes dangerous and naive to assume that they’ve changed without any sort of evidence.

      We don’t get to just assume Felix is a changed man just because he has the self-control not to drop hard-Rs on stream anymore, but he has to actually disavow those past actions as something more than just a “heated gamer moment.”
      He has to disavow the members of his fanbase who do believe that sort of thing is okay and that he’s their guy because he’d say and do stuff like that.
      He has to actually do something to show people he’s better.
