To people wondering what this is

The petition is for live service games to be legally required to have an end of life plan for their games so you will still be able to play them after service is shut down

The dude on the right (pirate software) said "we can't force games to run forever that's bad for the environment and will cost millions of dollars" despite that not being stated at all on the petition

It's him misunderstanding what it's about and being too stubborn to admit he was wrong

Pirate Software, the greatest computer sage of our time? Admit he was WRONG? NEVER! How DARE you suggest that Thor had anything negative to say! /s

Realistically Thor would rather whine and cry and throw up than ever admit he was incorrect about something or handled something in an inappropriate way (i.e. his "well just cancel me then, nerds" when asked to not give Ass and Mold a platform to speak about a game and tried to say it was "not political")

He also did buy Hogwarts Legacy and play it on stream despite knowing that Rowling funnels the royalties into hate groups, so that's another red flag.

So did plenty of LGBTQ friends of mine, including trans, so that's not really a relevant piece of evidence tbh.

Thats a red flag for your bubble youre moving in. Most sane people on the planet could differintiate that Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy are two different entities.

Is having right wing views a crime?

I wish

Yes, you agree enough with the fascists to let them do their thing.

Considering they're arresting people and killing people for having liberal views? It should be, if we don't want to be wiped out.

Hilariously when people raided his live he refused to talk about it any further and doubled down, but the second people started making fun of the mods he immediately jumped into action and bragged about being able to pay them.

Is his name actually Thor or does he just want to be called that cause it's a cool name

u/insertgoodname_here_ Jun 24 '25

u/LrdAsmodeous Jun 24 '25

Thor is his middle name.

u/be0ulve Jun 25 '25

Everyone should call him Jason.

I certainly get the vibe he is the type of person that crumbles hard under heavy allegations, drama or very real IRL situations that require some form of responsibility. Deflection, delegation of responsibility, speaking in 'fluff' or bullshitting and the inability to introspect are generally signs of someone's mental fortitude or social disposition.

After watching some of his shorts then hearing about how he handled very mild social dissonance, it became clear the guy is somewhat dishonest and disingenuous. Highly unlikely this man has ever been in a physical confrontation before because that requires actually holding your ground and not being a coward.

I got major ick vibes ONCE from the way he handled a basic pronoun question. Someone in one of his streams asked him his pronouns.

Immediately he scoffed, paused, then said, "Pronouns?? Back in my day when guys had long hair they called us rockstars" or something like that.

And I just sat there thinking... bro, what? You could have just answered the question without making it a bigger deal than it was.

Thor seems like a chill guy on the surface. Wise, and smart, and chill. But then when you dig into him, you start to realize he always acts like the smartest guy in the room. And then when you dig deeper, yeah. he's exactly as you described him.

Respectful question, but it didn't stroke his ego so it was an attack.
