- EugeneOZ 5y agoNo, he didn't fight for it. He sold that site - that’s all. When he had the power to stop GamerGate imageboards - he didn't. When he could remove boards with CP - he didn't. What I wrote is far from “judging him too harshly” :) He only apologized for not removing the shooter's manifests. He didn't apologize for GamerGate, CP, racism, neo-nazism, and other terrible things. His words about the 8chan shutdown - “I was not even that upset about that” [1]. You can’t call it “fighting”.
