Man Notch really turned out to me a mess didn't he...? 😥
I remember back in like 2012 he was one of my personal "heros".

What are some of the things he said that were classified as that?
2 1 ReplySomeone below me posted a big video on that. Other than that it takes two seconds to Google. He has a history of saying extremely reactionary things (advocating for a straight pride parade, saying feminism is a disease, being transgender is just a mental illness etc.) And then walking it back which is weird that it happens over and over again. He also unironically believed in Qanon.
Maybe not an outright fascist bigot but however his social system and brain works, it leads him to fall face first over and over into extreme right wing reactionary takes.
