Isn't that the guy who caused the whole Factorio Kovarex controversy?
What kovarex controversy? Link? Context?
Don't ask his opinions about the term "statutory rape"!
Had to dig around a little, but I think I got some context :

I don't recall Uncle Bob being sexist or racist, but maybe I missed something.
During the George Floyd Protests, Robert gives us a beautiful take that police stopping black people isn't racist, it's just math.
oh no
Unfortunately a sizable portion of programmers and engineers are like this. It’s probably because they can only think in black and white.
A lot of these old-fashion types are oblivious to social justice and get upset at even the thought that Institutional racism even exists, because they can point to their one black friend in tech who owns a mansion.
I used to get into arguments why master and slave was a problematic word to engineers. That's how ignorant they are.
Those folks are dying out, especially as more diversity exists. Which is humourous because these folks will also rage about that too.
Yes. I never looked at kovarex the same since.
