Palmer here. I am not a racist or sexist, and if you think I was funding "memes with blatant racist/sexist undertones", you probably don't have a good handle on what actually happened. I funded a single billboard that depicted Hillary Clinton and the text "Too Big to Jail". That is it. This whole racist/sexist/anti-semitic trolling machine narrative was invented from whole cloth. If there were any examples to back it up, you have to imagine someone somewhere would have something to show.

Okay fair, I rescind my comment saying that you in particular are a racist/sexist (I'm outside my edit time window for my parent comment). Still however, there seem to be a lot of articles claiming that you funded things other than just the billboard you talk about. Specifically, that you funded troll groups who were making the memes [ https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/23/13025422/palmer-luckey-oculus-founder-funding-donald-trump-trolls https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/23/13025422/palmer-luckey-oc... ]. Is this not true? If it is true that you were funding the shitposting, then surely you don't know the content of all that was funded from your pockets -- memes that very well could have been racist/sexist/in poor taste, right?

  The only shitposting that I funded was that single billboard, and calling it shitposting is already a stretch. The narratives about me funding troll groups making memes are totally false. This is not perfect, but it goes over how people got mislead into thinking otherwise: https://venturebeat.com/2017/04/29/the-timeline-of-the-tweet-storm-around-oculus-founder-palmer-luckey/ https://venturebeat.com/2017/04/29/the-timeline-of-the-tweet...

    Do you believe the current administration is also deserving of incarneration?
