Salient paragraph (the article has linked references for those who want them):

"Since becoming a billionaire, Persson has earned something of a bad reputation. He made such family-friendly tweets as 'I'd rather be a fascist cunt than have a feminine dick' (though this was subsequently deleted), and he has tweeted endorsements of both the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories. He has propagated the false claim that people face fines for 'using the wrong pronouns' to refer to trans people. Persson has also tweeted right-wing slogans such as 'It's OK to be white,' and he's said that anyone who recognizes systemic racial biases and imbalance within Western society is racist. In 2017, he tweeted, 'If you're against the concept of a #HeterosexualPrideDay, you're a complete fucking cunt and deserve to be shot,' though this, too, was subsequently deleted."

While I appreciate seph-reed's eloquent reply about cognitive shortcomings, hoo boy, there are a lot of shortcomings happening there.

Unsure why you are getting downvoted. You've provided the factual answer to the parent who was asking, "Didn't he say some bad stuff?"

That's the way of anything that touches on our current culture wars, I think.
