I don’t know if anyone here realized this but the font in question here is made by Fredrick Brennan who is probably best known as the founder of 8chan

i like… have complicated feelings on the guy. on the one hand, it's important to congratulate him on realizing the harm his actions did and working to undo all that. on the other he did years of harm that has yet to be undone and might never be undone. and everyone only gets so much grace. i'm glad he realized all his online friends were nazis and stopped hanging out with them, but on the other it's hard to trust the judgement of someone who hung out with nazis for years.

I think it's definitely necessary to accept people who did bad things if they truly change and realize the problems they've caused. That applies not just to people who hang out with Nazis but also actual Nazis. When you get out of a far right group, you basically lose all your friends at once and if there's nothing else to go back to, it will make people think twice before going that step even if they're ready for it.

You were a nazi your whole life but now you’ve been fighting nazis for years, we gonna trash you or what? Definitely shouldn’t.
