Oculus is a titan in the VR space. Virtual reality isn’t an established medium, and for many developers, it’s not a lucrative one either. Anyone who makes a game or experience for a high-end headset is courting a tiny audience even if they release on every platform, and in the world of mobile VR, the Gear VR is currently the only real option beyond the super-simple Google Cardboard. And Luckey isn’t just the face of Oculus, he’s the face of virtual reality, as evidenced by this summer’s bizarre Time cover.

“While Luckey’s political alignment hadn’t been a secret, the news — which Oculus hasn’t commented on so far — potentially tied him to some of the uglier parts of Trump’s online support base, including alt-right cheerleader Milo Yiannopoulos.”

Oh boo hoo.The Verge is nothing if anything but a shill for Apple products and filled with Clinton apologists.

Companies and developers taking a stance against Oculus will themselves be subject to backlash. It is best to be quiet and apolitical.

But the argument, for most people, isn’t with Luckey’s beliefs, or even just donating to a pro-Trump cause. It’s that to the best of our knowledge so far, he chose one so closely associated with racism, harassment, and internet sociopathy — while representing a medium that’s supposedly defined by idealism and empathy.

These snowflake pseudo scribes should stick their RAM where it belongs and leave the developers alone. At least the ones who have the guts to think for themselves politically rather than shrinking away like little petals in the wind. Some of these Clinton wankers want to boycott Oculus? Good riddance.
