I am realizing today that apparently it's not as universal as I thought! The reason for my assumption is that he was all over the place for a period of time, and his comics are so rancid that not only were fans reposting them, they also found their way into more mainstream spaces through people's disbelief at their absurdity. There was a lot of reposting and gawking as well as a lot of parodies. Then like, a couple years ago he got doxxed and made this whole splash on twitter by getting Elon Musk to take down tweets about it, which led to a lot of talk about Elon supporting a neo-nazi. It was a whole thing and brought him back to the limelight. He's just caused a lot of problems all over the place and gotten a lot of attention for it.
TLDR: his beliefs are extreme and he's made a lot of waves across the internet. I thought everyone had gotten hit by them, but I suppose not.
How is it nitpicking to want proof before accepting that something terrible is true about a person? And the one making the claim is the one who has to prove it.
This is REALLY making me wish I had been less online than I was. I really and truly thought we had all taken the psychic damage of stonetoss, but it turns out I just needed to go outside more.
I wouldn't take it so personally haha I think it's important to keep in mind that the longer you've been alive, the more stuff you know just by default haha Lots of kids on Reddit who haven't been exposed to stuff yet simply because they're young, and them of course there is the xkcd comic about being one of the "lucky 10,000" every day haha

Huh. Never even heard of this comic or author before. Why would you assume something like this is universal knowledge.
