    He also did several videos around licensing of FUTO that were very clearly damage control.

    I don’t think Rossmann is a fascist himself, but he clearly got in bed with people that are fascist adjacent and is struggling to clearly distance himself from that, which is not exactly a good look for him and allows others to continue to misuse his relatively good reputation.

          I watched the whole thing.

          Perhaps in my adult addled old age, my comprehension and cognitive abilities have drastically diminished.

          Which part is the part where Rossmann is “guilty” of what you and others who share your opinion are accusing him of?

            Eh? I guess you have some strawman in mind of what Rossmann is being accused of. All I am saying is that he is constantly doing PR damage control for Eron Wolf, and that video is a clear example of that. It is not realistic to believe the shitty license happened accidentially… Eron Wolf intentionally wanted it to be like that and only had to walk it back when there was a massive community backlash.

              Well, based on what I saw and heard, I just don’t think I can make the logical leap to where everyone else is at. There’s also a large possibility that I’m not comprehending the subtlety involved in their messaging and language.

              Overall, assuming I understand correctly, the argument is that Rossmann performs damage control for a fascist-adjacent millionaire who has a shitty software license for projects he funds.

              I disagree with that take, and I suppose we just leave it there. Thanks for providing the link, at least.
