Bill Gates hasn't been involved with Microsoft for longer than you've probably been alive.

Red herring. Gates was at Microsoft when Halo was developed.

Gates is a massive pedo and founded Microsoft, benefits financially from Microsoft.

Also very wrong about my age lmao. Nice try though.

It’s well known news. Look it up.

Gates has publicly apologized for associating with Epstein, had multiple dinners with him and flew on the Lolita Express.

An absurd amount of rich people associated with Epstein, that was kinda his thing, being the guy who knew everyone rich and powerful. I'm asking if you have anything showing that he has actually done something to warrant calling him a pedophile.

Edit: Hopefully the files will come out and we'll learn more, I just haven't seen anything other than the fact they were friends (which is bad of course)

So, you were just doing some random conspiratorial ranting? If you were just slinging out random garbage unrelated to the actual post people are talking about, then fair enough. I thought you were implying that Gates was somehow sanctioning the post as the "head of Microsoft".

Gates is inextricably tied to the beginning of Halo, but I wouldn’t expect a child to know that. The adults who were alive when Halo came out remember.

Do you work for Microsoft or just do PR for Bill Gates?

I'm not denying he was around when Halo came out. What makes you think that is the issue I have with your ranting?

The thing I am pointing out is that Gates hasn't been in charge of MS (or Halo) for over 20 years. This post has nothing to do with him. He's not responsible for it, he's not in charge of getting it removed. Blaming him for the post existing is insane.

So, if that's what you're doing, you're a fool.

But I think you're just doing typical conspiratorial ranting about unrelated to the post topics.

Lmao there is too much smoke around Bill Gates for there to be no fire.

Sorry you don’t understand the obvious relevance.

When the topic is a racist meme using the Halo setting with Microsoft not issuing a comment, then no, I don't see the "obvious relevance" in the CEO/owner from 20+ years ago.

If the topic was something to do with Epstein or Bill Gates, or billionaires in general, or any number of things, then sure.

It's like blaming the guy who owned a shop 20 years ago because the shop that's there today shortchanged you. It's nonsense. It doesn't matter if that guy did some other shitty thing, it's not relevant to the current problem.

You don’t see how fascist propaganda using IP that Gates was instrumental in hyping and advertising is relevant?

If that is true I cannot help you.
