I lost all respect I had for Magnus Carlsen when he couldnt just accept his loss akd instead sent his hate brigade against Niemann
First of all, all he did was refuse to play the guy. He then said he can't talk about it or else it'll mean legal trouble. Second of all, there has been an investigation into Nieman that has shown he is a cheater in online play. He also admitted to cheating previously.
So no, this isn't "Magnus lost and couldn't accept it". It is "known cheater loses the entire tournament and gets downright bullied, till they reach the world champion, where they play a perfect game".
at this point if people dont know the actual story from both sides its safe to say theyre just trying to follow an edgy bandwagon so idk if your logic is gonna help them
