The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren't the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don't know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren't part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It's the statutory rape comment that I don't like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don't think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be "cancelled" here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn't reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.
