I really want to stress that I wasn't one of those crazy anti-vaccine persons, nor was I "gun advocates" in ways that supports ridiculous laws allowing overly lose protections of guns, nor was I into dangerous conspiracy theories, nor was I supportive of overly sensitive anti-abortion laws (granted I do think it depends but I'm no super solid on it either.). I also want to stress that that I don't much care that's he's political on Twitter as I can try learning let that aside and still follow him for his good stuff.
The reason why I state that is because I wanted to calmly criticize a small post he posted showing desire to block anyone for being into specific things, including those that were "pro-gun" or "conspiracy theorists", and I was worried he was technically including people who simply wanted to own a gun, or was into the "fun" conspiracy theories that were harmless, since a lot of people who are sane may have some slight different stances here and there. So I got a bit concerned and simply wanted to reply saying this:
"I like your work, but I really find saying things like this that includes the fun conspiracies (I mean the harmless fun kinds), and people who wants to own a gun really unnecessary. I mean it's possible to still get along with those people without having to agree with them."
In response to this:
"the list of people that should unfollow me is getting longer and longer:
Antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, gun advocates, Pro lifers.
It's a pity there wasn't some button that can block them from following me in the first place."
Note here is my comment here. You can scroll up to see his message too.
And frankly as someone who's enjoyed his music and has think about it a lot, it really does break me to see him do this to some of his own fans. I don't know if I could of said my reply better or not (I was mainly only concerned that he was including people who simply was into fun yet harmless conspiracy theories and those that simply wanted to own a gun for lawful reasons alone), but at this point it just feels like he's expecting everyone who likes him to have the same opinions as him, or else you're blocked and he finds you crazy and idiotic. He has a right to do that, but that doesn't mean people lose the right to be concern and state their own sane thoughts about it. But anyway this really is heart-breaking for me that I felt the need to post this.
I don't like bringing up drama in these places, but this is due to personal reasons. Biggest reason was that he was part of my childhood involving some of his music. I feel ridiculously discouraged from modding Banjo Kazooie, even if I replaced all of his music with music not from him. It's a shame he feels that he can't make peace with people who has a different political opinion than him like "mine" and it's a shame that my comment has offended him.
I personally hope he sees this article and knows I wasn't intending to offend him. I was just worried.
