From another post on their blog:

> having tried to sabotage its Kickstarter campaign back in 2018 by viciously attacking me and attempting to have me "cancelled" for opposing his hysterical far-left views supporting the LGBT agenda and the degenerate filth of unfathomably evil "trans people" aka demonic monsters (views which, for the record as a conservative Christian, I unapologetically find utterly vile and abominable).

Flagged because people like this don't need attention

Good call. The banner on the site is "Make the C64 Great Again".

The anti-trans spew is on the front page.

This comment does not deserve to be flagged. It is worth knowing the bias of the source as it taints everything it touches.

A link to the comment in question would be good. I had a quick go at finding it, but couldn't (though not to say I spent a huge amount of effort on this project).

But I agree that it's useful to highlight this kind of thing. If you disagree with the author, you probably won't then want to give them your time and attention, let alone your money. But, on the other hand, if you agree, maybe you'll feel the other way! Which is a roundabout way of describing my favourite thing about the internet, since I'm old enough to remember what it was like Before: whoever your people are, for good or for ill, you'll be able to find them.

yeah, I am a trans lady who was kinda tempted to give this guy six bucks for this insanely overproduced version of a primitive video game, and now I am not gonna do that. <3

it's still like this, you just have to look a little harder, and be more wary of nazi recruiters than you used to.

I meant a link to the blog post including the comment quoted. (I suppose "comment" vs "post" could be a bit ambiguous. Sorry about that.) Anyway, for the record, it's here: https://kodiak64.co.uk/microblog/Parallaxian_Cancelled
