They also seem to hate Factorio itself, which is the reason that while they play it and tweet about it so much, they mangle its name. I don't understand it, but everyone is free to remove what they want from their own Twitter I guess.

FWIW re the mangling: According to foone, the reason they blank out the name is to avoid it showing up on searches for the game (automated or otherwise), which they say has led to a subset of fans of the game sending them transphobic comments because of the past drama and the presence of a trans flag on their twitter page.

But as you say, people can do what they like.

That is not the reason I had been told and I can't easily check this (can't search -- that's the point). It is not unlikely that I have been led astray.
