Attempting to contrast Blow with the most vile person on earth also does Blow no favours here.
If you read threads like this and give a dollar to Jonathan Blow, you are knowingly giving a dollar to someone who thinks women are inferior and thinks Trump is a good president. If you still want to do that, be honest with yourself about it and don't try to couch it in some form of justification of "Well, at least he isn't an absolute monster".
lol came here to post this. Hey we got actual murderers out there in the world, rapists, child rapists, murdering child rapists, fucking Putin who is responsible for hundreds of thousands dead.
But hey, I guess being outspoken on twitter is also pretty bad.
