I seen too many internet forums saying that if you don’t boycott X, Y, and Z, then you’re a “terrible person”. What do you think about that?

    They’re saying no one should be allowed to buy a product without also spending time and money compensating for the company owner’s bigotry. That’s exactly gatekeeping.

    If that’s the case you owe a fucktonne of money and service for all the Intel processors you’ve used seeing as Intel built the math machines that optimized the murder of Jews during the holocaust

      That’s not gatekeeping, that’s being judgemental about how others spend their time.
