I tried clicking the links about Notch's non-pc comments. Those took me to newsweek articles which also talked about twitter but didn't link to the offending tweets themselves. Only one article linked (someplace called "the root") actually referenced any of his words per se. Among the problematic quotes were:
"Privilege is a made up metric used to silence and repress. We are all different, and that is ok. We listen to individuals and help each other based on individual strengths and needs.
We do not generalize based on skin color, bigot."
That's a far cry from the sensationalized title of "Notch hates diversity".
So in answer to your question, my guess is Notch basically a DeMoore type character and is being crucified by the media.

- jbob2000 8y agoI laughed at those, I think he's trolling.
- belltaco 8y agoIf you look at the Twitter thread of the Q post, he seems sincere in his beliefs and is defending it. Given his other posts, it doesn't look like trolling.
- etrevino 8y agoFor those of us at work, do you mind summarizing these tweets in a reasonably SFW fashion?
- neaden 8y agoThe first "(pizzagate is real)" second "Q is legit. Don't trust the media." the second is followed with him defending the Q conspiracy in the comments, the first all the replies have pretty much been deleted.
- belltaco 8y agoThe actual text is: (pizzagate is real) (q is legit. don't trust the media)
- IIAOPSW 8y agohuh. He really did go for that Q garbage. It wasn't just a joke. This really upsets my priors about the average contrarian theory believer.
