Don't support reactionaries. Go play Satisfactory instead!
Eli5?
Kovarex, the maker of Factorio, is a reactionary anti-leftist. He exposed himself on reddit and has since edited or deleted his comments. Here's a thread about it with links to the original incident. https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/o34v6h/factorio_founder_rages_about_cancel_culture_after/
Kinda burying the lede to criticize his political position when he apparently supports statutory rape.
Say my friend made such a statement in the past and somehow.managed to grow as a person.
What should they do to communicate this?
I assume deleting the original statement is perceived as dishonesty, yes?

There are few popular topics as reactionary as online gamer drama 🙄
Sure, sure, and all those hollywood actresses really were just hard to work with. yappy hand gesture
Nah that whole thing was vastly overblown
But I already bought it. Unless.. could I buy another Factorio?
I gave up on getting it at a discount lol. I waited 5 years
Thank you for reminding me about the summer sale!
As if anything goes more than 70% off these days
Wildly inaccurate.
There are currently 1,189 Steam games discounted at 70% or higher with a minimum of 5000 reviews, including The Witcher 3, Hearts of Iron IV, Cyberpunk 2077, and Deep Rock Galactic:

I'm still mourning the day MS Flight Sim 2020 went on sale for 85% but they snatched it from my cart before I could purchase it and corrected it to 15%.
OP, presumably:
"Why don't poor people simply stop being poor? They should just ask their father for a small loan of a million dollars."
You need at least a Billion these days.
Make.sure to set a few million aside for Charity.
Constructive criticism, honestly:
Can we not do Reddit-style one-upping replies? You've added nothing to the thread except a very low-effort quip that leads to The Price Is Right "No, no, you need a trillion!" "No, no, you need a quadrillion!" etc. that just... sap every reader's seconds of their lives away.
I'm sure you say plenty of clever and helpful things elsewhere, but I'm so over Reddit and I don't want Lemmy to be like it.
I'm going to hold you hand when I tell you this...
Its too late for that.
"oh sweet summer child"
I'm not into defeatism but I hope it brings you joy.
I'm not sure how your original comment isnt in the same vein of Reddit style replies. You just made a quip based on a meme instead of a quip based on another comment.
These lines are admittedly arbitrary, but I hold that I contributed at least a little.
"[your number but higher]" isn't over the bar I have for valuable contributions. It may be over yours.
