Gary Newman, creator of Rust and Gary's Mod, just got banned from Facepunch. The reason? He refused to condemn and disavow his coworkers and friends over anti-immigration sentiment.
This is nuts.
Gary Newman, creator of Rust and Gary's Mod, just got banned from Facepunch.
The forums that discuss his games booted him because he refused to condemn and disavow his coworkers and friends over anti-immigration sentiment.
Moderators and forum users pressured him to publicaly condemn or distance himself from these views. He refused.
Multiple moderators pounced, banning him in quick succession (a wall of bans pile on). Note that Facepunch forums was started by many of the former mods who worked for him.
Ironic that Gary closed the original forums because of politics, in part. Now politics has come for him.
