my first thoughts on Louis:
Louis revealed to the internet that he thought his loving Italian Grandmother was a dumb racist at the beginning of his racism video from 7 years ago.
&
He wanted to watch an awful propaganda movie "inglorious bastards" for a romantic date, and he WANTED to pay money to see it, and not pirate it. From some recent video on piracy he made.
So for starters i think Louis is a fucking faggot, despite the good things he has done.
You win some you lose some. Like he always says he's just some guy on the Internet, you shouldn't rely on him being correct about everything.
And however woke and anti-racist Louis is, Daniel Micay is a thousand times worse, for attacking Cloudflare and complaining about how they "hosted" us and blocked some LGBTQ sites or whatever.
So Louis sticks his big 'anti-racist' nose into GraphenOS, gets into a pointless sperg battle with the head dev over nothing, Louis throws his weight around, the Head Dev freaks and leaves.
Gee, thanks Louis, can u get into pointless ego battles with people who arent making cool shit we want to use next time?
Did we watch the same video? This had nothing do with racism or anti-racism. And Louis is not a jew.
I'd place the bigger blame on Daniel here since, according to Louis, he was the one who messaged him out of the blue and confronted him over a comment he made on a YouTube video years ago. Not only that, but he threatened to publish all these accusations of Louis being complicit in attempted murder. So yes, Louis threw his weight around by publishing a video first, but only because Daniel threatened to throw his weight around.
On top of that Daniel Micay was an easy target for Louis to fuck with.
Why do you think Louis wanted to fuck with him? He's made several videos singing the praises of GrapheneOS and refuting misinformation, would someone who wants to fuck with him do that?
Louis could of easily acted like a gentlemen, looked at the bigger picture of a stressed out guy trying to create something good, and had a bit of compassion and understanding and finesse, but no, instead he wants to win a BS pissing contest for self-gratification and to make a gay video looking for internet ass-pats.
Yes, he definitely could have not published the video. Do I blame him for doing that? Not at all.
I think the best comparison here is, like many people have brought up, the Byuuicide. When Byuu emailed Null and suicide-baited, Null didn't publish the emails immediately. What did he get in return? Byuu published his sob story first and sparked tons of outrage against the site, to the point that Dreamhost terminated his account. Being a gentleman saved Null nothing and he might as well have published the emails immediately so he could get his side of the story out there first before Byuu did.
Same applies here.
What was Daniel Micay's big unforgivable crime?
According to Louis, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. But I certainly don't blame him for publishing the video since he just had some guy threaten to ban him from a Matrix room unless he deleted the comment he made on a YouTube video.
